Why use a UV laser marking and engraving
Feb 06 , 2023UV laser marking offers high contrast with minimal surface damage. Ideal for marking identifiers, codes, and graphics on heat-sensitive materials, metal, plastic, glass, and various organic materials.
High throughput production environments such as pharmaceuticals, beverage, and extrusion often use UV lasers for high speed marking of their products with clear, high contrast markings.
RFH’s UV lasers mark parts with readable and high contrast codes, text, and graphics for easy identification, traceability, and branding.
UV laser marking is a widely used method for manufacturers looking to mark their products with Unique Device Identification (UDI) marks.
