The UV laser is the marking option with the widest spectrum of materials that can be processed. It is compatible with a variety of metals, plastics, glass, and even unusual materials like fruits, silicone, and precious metals.
Another great advantage is that it is highly respectful of the materials: it has a shorter wavelength, therefore, the marking tasks are carried out with less power, applying a lower temperature to the part. This factor eliminates microfractures and other deformations in the immediate area of marking. For this reason, one of the most interesting applications of this type of laser is the marking of medical instruments.
Marking being the area of interest of the UV laser, its typical applications would cover industries as diverse as automotive parts, casings for electronic/electrical elements, semiconductors, glass, optics, etc.
