What is Laser Marking Electronic Components
Laser marking is a precise, non-contact method used to engrave or mark electronic components with text, logos, barcodes, or serial numbers. It uses a focused laser beam to alter the surface of the material, creating high-contrast, permanent markings without damaging the component.
Key Features of Laser Marking Electronic Components:
High Precision – Lasers can produce extremely fine details, even on small components like microchips, resistors, or PCBs.
Permanent & Durable – The marks are resistant to wear, heat, and chemicals, ensuring long-term readability.
Non-Contact Process – No physical force is applied, reducing the risk of damaging delicate parts.
Fast & Automated – Ideal for high-volume production with quick processing times.
Versatile Materials – Works on metals (aluminum, stainless steel), plastics, ceramics, and semiconductor materials.
Compliance with Industry Standards – Meets traceability requirements (e.g., UID, QR codes) for electronics manufacturing.
Common Applications in Electronics:
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Marking – Serial numbers, component labels.
Semiconductor & IC Chips – Branding, part numbers.
Resistors, Capacitors, Diodes – Value and tolerance markings.
Connectors & Cables – Identification codes.
Medical & Automotive Electronics – Traceability for quality control.
