Guiding FOBA’s new product finder to the marker that exactly fits your needs is easy when you select from options among materials, processes, content and marking field size.
Chris Lay, Product Specialist with Raymax which distributes FOBA in Australasia, says FOBA’s range of laser markers is vast but this finder sifts and sorts from possible markers to those ideal for your mission.
The finder helps you choose from materials such as:
- Metals: including stainless steel, steel, iron, copper, magnesium, aluminium, brass, gold, silver, platinum, palladium, titanium plastics
- Plastics: including ABS, epoxy resins, PET, polypropylene, polycarbonate, PVC, acrylic
- Ceramics: including aluminium oxide, tungsten carbide, zirconium dioxide, porcelain, stoneware
- Other: such as glass or organic materials
It then asks which process you’d mainly like to use although you don’t have to specify process:
- Foaming: where colour pigments and carbon are destroyed and vapourised
- Annealing: none of the surface is removed, local material creates the colour change
- Removal: heating causes colour change yet surface stays smooth because nothing is removed
- Black marking: a nanostructure is created to trap light so the mark shows as dark, matte black
- Engraving: laser removes material to create a recess to be observed visually and haptically
- Day-night design: laser removes individual layers of colour to reveal base material to be backlit
- Carbonisation: plastic bonds are broken so exposed carbon discolours – ranging from grey to black
Next, content options include QR, barcodes or any 2D codes, text and numbers, logos and design. The last criterion is the size of your marking field.
