The core value of an automatic laser lifting head fiber laser marking machine (usually equipped with autofocus or electric Z-axis function) lies in its "dynamic focus management." This capability allows it to accomplish tasks that traditional fixed-focus or hand-cranked marking machines cannot (or find extremely difficult to) perform.
The following is a detailed classification of its specific application scenarios.
- Metal carving and relief techniques:
Mold Industry: Deep engraving of codes, dates, or logos onto mold steel, reaching depths of several millimeters with a smooth background.
Custom Firearms and Knives: Deep engraving (relief effect) on knife handles and gun bodies, requiring dozens or even hundreds of repetitions. An automatic lifting head ensures each engraving is in focus, maximizing energy output.
Automotive VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): Deep engraving on vehicle chassis or nameplates, requiring sufficient depth to remain clearly visible after painting.
- Multi-height step surface marking:
Electronic transformers/relays: Parameters need to be marked simultaneously on two planes of different heights.
Irregularly shaped hardware parts: Such as cast iron parts with raised steps, the machine can first mark the higher part, automatically lower the Z-axis, and then mark the lower part.
Stepped shafts/bearings: Engraving on the stepped surfaces of different diameters on the shaft.
- High-precision focus-sensitive products
Anodizing aluminum for black lettering: For example, the black lettering on the back of an Apple iPhone requires perfect focus to achieve a uniform blackness. Manual focusing is prone to errors, while autofocus guarantees 100% yield.
Cutting thin materials: Such as cutting gold and silver jewelry, the focus must always be maintained inside or on the surface of the material. Automatic focusing ensures the finest possible cut.
