RMI Laser

All RMI Laser Marking Systems have the capability to mark onto metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, and a variety of materials. This guide was designed to help you determine what laser would be the best for your needs. With that being said, RMI Laser’s Applications Lab is the best option to determine your Laser Marking System needs and what laser will accommodate your goals.

UF-20/UF-30 Fiber Laser Marking System(s) (20 & 30 Watts) U-20 Nd: YVO4 Laser Marking System (20 Watts) Why the UF-20/UF-30? • You need a marking area of (8”-12”) for larger batches • High volume throughput • Engraving up to .001” - .004” • High-speed vector marking • Marking-on-the-fly (MOTF) • Engraving onto harder metals such as Titanium, Inconel, or Tool Steel • Highest Contrast Marking • Cutting thin metals • High-power with High-Resolution – low as a 15µm spot size with a100mm lens Why the U-20? • You need a marking area of (8”-12”) for larger batches • High volume throughput • Engraving up to .001” - .004” • High-speed vector marking • Marking-on-the-Fly (MOTF) • Surface marking onto harder metals such as Titanium, Inconel, or Tool Steel • High Contrast marking • Cutting thin metals • Marking around curves without degradation U-10/U-15 Nd: YVO4 Laser Marking System(s) (10 & 15 Watts) UM-1 Economy Laser Marking System (1 Watt) Why the U-10/U-15? • Surface marking but you also have cycle time considerations • You need clean and precise markings • Your material is sensitive to heat and you need to limit your Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) • Ability to both etch and anneal metals and plastics with one unit Why the UM-1? • Lowest Priced Direct Metal Marking Laser on market today • You have a limited budget • Cycle Times and Throughput are not your top concerns

Wavelength: 532nm

U-5G Nd: YVO4 Green Laser Marking System (5 Watts) U-2G Nd: YVO4 Green Laser Marking System (2 Watts) Why the U-5G? • Lowest priced 5-watt 532nm laser marking system on the market today • Scribing wafers made of a variety of substrates (eg. Silicon and Sapphire) • Cutting thin plastics without burning • Marking ceramics or semi-conductors • You need High-Resolution Markings of 1200dpi Why the U-2G? • Precision markings onto micro-machined parts • You need a surface mark onto soft plastics with no burning or surface raising • Marking PCB boards without creating particulates or going to the metal underneath
