Micro Laser Markers

Laser processing is the general term to refer to use of a focused laser beam to mark metals and resins, to peel off surface coatings and films, and to cut parts out of lead frames.

Laser processing is utilized in a wide range of industries, primarily automotive parts such as engines, motors, inverters, and sensors, and electronic parts such as cameras, connectors, semiconductors, and integrated chips. We support manufacturing with processing technologies such as marking (etching and engraving), peeling, deburring, and trimming.

    Micro laser markers are used in the marking, coating removal, and surface roughening processes not only for motors, inverters, batteries and other core parts, but also for sensors, internal fittings, and other e-Mobility system components.

    Laser markers are also used in the manufacturing process for cameras, connectors, vibration motors, and other parts used in devices such as smartphones. Lasers are uniquely proficient in the processing of miniature and slimline parts.

    Micro laser cutting machines that realize non-contact and damage-free processing are also used in the manufacturing process for medical devices where high quality is demanded due to their dimensional requirements or processing conditions, such as printing on catheters and surgical instruments.

      Motors

      Motors that run on electricity use a large number of wires known as hairpins, which are covered with an insulating film. When these hairpins are welded together, the insulating film needs to be removed first, for which a laser marker is used.

      In the electronic parts manufacturing process, micro laser markers are used to mark parts with lot numbers and two-dimensional codes for traceability, and to cut parts out of lead frames.

      Micro laser markers are in particularly heavy use in the semiconductor manufacturing process. For instance, they are used to mark lot numbers in the manufacturing process for wafers, which could be called the core of the semiconductor, and in the manufacture of integrated circuits (ICs) to remove the plastic burrs that are formed during the plastic molding process.

      Micro laser markers can work on both metal and plastic and are therefore used to imprint lot number and model type on the plastic cables of catheters and the metal parts of surgical instruments. Unlike ink, the marking is indelible, contributing to safer medical treatment.
