Advantages of UV Laser Marking Machines in the Ceramic Industry
Ultraviolet ceramic laser marking machines specifically target ceramic marking applications such as tableware, tea sets, vases, jars, pots, bowls, plates, and dishes. Artistic (technical) ceramics include vases, sculptures, garden ceramics, vessels, and decorative items. Industrial ceramics: ceramic products applied across various industries. These are further categorized into six aspects: 1. Architectural and sanitary ceramics: including bricks, tiles, drainage pipes, wall tiles, exterior cladding tiles, sanitary ware, etc. 2. Chemical (chemical engineering) ceramics: acid-resistant containers, pipes, towers, pumps, valves, and acid-resistant bricks for lining reaction vessels used in various chemical industries.
The advantages of ceramic laser marking machines include:
1. Strong Anti-Counterfeiting Properties:
Laser markings are permanent and difficult to alter. Fonts use continuous lines with clear strokes. Custom fonts resistant to imitation can be designed as required. Combining laser marking systems (marking anti-counterfeiting codes) with telephone voice verification further enhances anti-counterfeiting capabilities.
2. Permanent Marking with Strong Traceability:
Traditional markings can be easily erased. As traceability demands grow within the ceramics industry, permanent marking solutions are essential.
3. Minimal Environmental Impact:
Ink transfer methods employ inks that are not entirely harmless to humans. Inks and solvents are highly volatile substances that generate significant chemical residues, polluting the environment and endangering worker health. These methods are being phased out globally. In the United States, inkjet printers are no longer permitted for marking pharmaceutical inner packaging, with laser marking machines now universally adopted.
4. Low Operating Costs:
Laser marking systems operate with zero consumables. Compared to traditional marking systems, the absence of consumables significantly reduces operational expenses for businesses. Ceramic laser marking systems utilize fiber lasers, which are consumable-free with a lifespan exceeding 100,000 hours. The entire machine employs air-cooled design, consuming only approximately 0.5 kWh per hour.
