1. Material Compatibility
Calibrating lasers for specific materials is crucial, especially considering the plastic’s being susceptible to unpredictable burns or melting. Meeting this challenge requires the correct type laser, coatings appropriate for laser restraining markers, and prior compatibility tests.
2. Sleeve Heat Damage
Sleeve heat-sensitive plastics may undergo burning and discoloration due to excessive heat inflicted by the laser. Raising the marking speed, lowering laser power, employing UV lasers, silencing air, or improving air circulation aids during the process are some leading assisted solutions.
3. Non Uniform Marking Consistency
Marking quality tends to vary due to environmental factors and inconsistencies in materials. Raise productivity by maintaining the workspace consistently tidy, employing automation calibrations, and regularly cleaning the laser marking machine to increase working efficiency.
4. Controlled Depth
Marked lines that are too deeply engraved lead damage, while too shallow makes them unreadable. Striking the optimal depth is likely the toughest challenge. A better precision setting or test-precision marking through advanced algorithms coupled with low-force settings would eliminate harmful interactions with the material.
