Using a 125W laser, FH Marking head, and 200mm lens, the engraved marks (approximately 10mm high) were created at a speed of 25 inches per second using a resolution of 250dpi, with a cycle time of 4.7 seconds. The same quality of marks can be achieved at a speed of 5 inches per second using 25W of power and a cycle time of 16.6 seconds.
The advantage of a laser over molded characters is obvious. Part-to-part flexibility, barcoding, serializing, and customization capabilities can be made without the need to re-tool.
