Laser Engraving On Custom Die-Castings
laser engraving on custom die-castings means marking logos and patterns on the surface of die casting parts with laser beam. But also its pattern is designed freely. It can finish various custom color painting for marketing logos and patterns. The laser engraving is excellent and permament.
Laser Engraving Process Guide
Prepare die casting parts
When client require these die castings to be marked with their logos,we will collect these goods and do a pre-treat ready. We must have a die castings deburring process, keep the surfaces of these die casting components are clear, with no greases, dirts and burrs. After our QC inspectors check these goods good, they are delivered to laser marking dept.
Design Marking Drawing
The laser marking machine always works with vector drawing to finish the task of laser marking. These vector files, such as .AI, .SVG, .DXF, or .EPS. With software like Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or AutoCAD to create the design. Depends on the dimensions on die casting drawing, we scale the vector drawing appropriately on the castings drawing, and confirm the dimensions of laser marking label. At last,the vector file is saved and exported by vector file forma and stored on the USB flash drive disk.
Choose Right Laser Marking Enquipment
For die castings, We can select the right laser marking enquiqment to engrave custom logos and brand patterns on the surface of custom metal parts. Compare to laser marking on plastics, which is suitable for different laser machines. CO2 Laser is ideal methods for right laser marking to choose. CO2 Laser is typically suitable for both non-metal materials and metal materials. More can be used with certain coatings on die castings.
Import Vector Files And Setting Up The Laser Machine Correctly
This step, we should import vector files into the system of the laser machine. Techinican begin setting up the machine in accordance with the depth of marking label. Higher Speed, Lower Power for shallow engravings or surface marks. Lower Speed, Higher Power For deeper engravings. Adjust consistently parameters and testing the engraved result unitl resulting in satisfied effection.
Proceed the Laser Engraving Process
Once everything is set completely, run the engraving process on die casting components . Since the size and complexity of the design, the laser engraving can work for several seconds and minutes for each one. We can also make the reasonble jigs and clamps to fix each component one by one by manual, and ensuring a high effective production in large volume.
Post-engraving finish and reinforce engraving
After laser marking , there may be some residue or dust left on the surface of the die castings. We can use a soft brush or compressed air to clean residue off. For stubborn residue, Using typical isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth. In order to reinforce the permanent engraving result, we can coating it with nanometer material. We always improve laser marking quality continuously until all of die castings engraved acheive quality standards.
Advantages Of Laser Engraving On Custom Die-Castings
| Special Features | Detail Descriptions |
|---|---|
| Accurate Dimensions | Under computer numerical control, laser engraving is highly accurate, can engrave intricate logos or detailed designs on die casting parts. For branding or decorative purposes, the process can create exquisite patterns and word arts, if neccessary, these engraved patterns and logos can be colored, maybe marks them on the zinc die casting parts permanently. |
| Anti-scratch and Durability | Laser engraving creates a permanent mark on the surface of die casting parts. The engraved logo or design is anti-scratch and duable, and not easy to fade. This makes these branding label can remain a long time on these parts. Compare to silk screen prainting, the logos and patterns left on the parts permanently, and a strong anti-scrach property. |
| Clean and Various Color Finish | The laser precisely engraves the material, ,Under computeral nuberious control, creating sharp and clean line arts and guarantee the accurate dimensions of logos and pattern on the die casting parts. In accordance with some specific requirements, these engraved detailed designs marks prainted with color material and enhance clear and decoration effection. |
| Customizability | The logos and patterns design is customizability, it has a great flexibility. It’s flexible designs is drawn by using computer controls. Manufacturer can do any custom laser engraving on the die casting parts with CAD software. Then import the engraving file to the engraving machine, and finish the laser engraving action. |
| Consistency and Speed | Laser engraving is automation process for mass production. Once the program setting is ready, laser engraving action will strart working. The laser engraving action is high speed, and consistently execute engraving action repeatly in mass production. |
