It is estimated that the proportion of laser applications in industrial manufacturing has already accounted for over 44.3% of the total market. And among all the lasers, UV laser has become the mainstream laser apart from fiber laser. And as we know, UV laser is known for high precision manufacturing. So why UV laser excels in industrial precision process? What are the advantages of UV laser? Today we’re going to talk deep about it.
Solid state UV laserSolid state UV laser often adopts integrated design and features small laser light spot, high repetition frequency, reliability, high quality laser beam and stable power output.
Cold processing and precision processingBecause of the unique property, UV laser is also known as “cold processing.”. It can maintain the smallest heat affecting zone (HAZ). Because of that, in the laser marking application, UV laser can maintain what the article originally looks like and help reduce the damage during processing. Therefore, UV laser is very popular in glass laser marking, ceramics laser engraving, glass laser drilling, PCB laser cutting and so on.
UV laser is a kind of invisible light with light spot of only 0.07mm, narrow pulse width, high speed, high peak value output. It leaves a permanent marking on the article by using high energy laser light on part of the article so that the surface of the article will evaporate or change color.
The common UV laser marking applicationsIn our daily life, we can often see different kinds of logos. Some of them are made of metal and some of them made of non-metal. Some logos are words and some are patterns, for example, the Apple smart phone logo, keyboard keypad, mobile phone keypad, beverage can production date and so on. These markings are mainly achieved by UV laser marking machine. The reason is simple. UV laser marking features high speed, no consumables required and long-lasting markings which serves the anti-counterfeiting purpose very perfectly.
The development of the UV laser marketAs the technology develops and the coming of the 5G era, the product updates has become very rapid. Therefore, the requirement for the manufacturing technique is becoming more and more demanding. In the meanwhile, the equipment especially the consumer electronics, is becoming more and more complicated and lighter and lighter, making the components manufacturing heading towards the trend of higher precision, lighter weight and smaller size. This is a good sign for the UV laser market, for it suggests the continuous high demand of UV laser in the coming future.
As mentioned before, UV laser is known for its high precision and cold processing. Therefore, it is quite sensitive to temperature change, for even a small temperature fluctuation would lead to the poor marking performance. This makes adding a UV laser cooling system become very necessary.
S&A Teyu UV laser recirculating chiller CWUP-10 is ideal for cooling UV laser up to 15W. It offers a continuous water flow with the control accuracy of ±0.1℃ to the UV laser. This compact recirculating water chiller comes with a user-friendly temperature controller which allows instant temperature checking and a powerful water pump whose pump lift reaches 25M.
