In the market today you will see Needham laser etching systems that we believe will truly stand the test of time. In part, this is due to their inherent simplicity and easy use of software especially for medical components, couple this with their accuracy and the hygienic nature of fiber lasers, you will see why they stand out.
When it comes to medical laser etching, MOPA Fibre lasers are verified to be more effective as a result of their ability to get surfaces heated fast, producing the changes needed quickly and since the temperature won’t reach the vaporization level in the process, it will remove any material smoothly. This process helps keep bacteria under control because either scars from machining or de burring are leveled to a smoother grey colored surface.
This color-stain that is produced occurs at a depth that is classified as permanent. Known as CW annealing or marking, the entire process is said to provide the best and highest quality finish to the medical component.
During the non-contact process, these lasers leave an abrasion-resistant, permanent laser engraving onto most bio-medical materials (like the surgical steel, titanium etc.) and there are a plethora of other benefits to be found, whether it’s an implant or a prosthetic. In a nut shell, laser marking systems provide a great range of benefits, especially within the medical industry when compared to more conventional techniques.
Laser Etching Designed for Medical Applications
If you are looking for an etching system to mark your products, then you will find that the range of medical laser etching and engraving machines are superior in quality and are ideally suited to hygienic centric environments. Below are some of the features:
- Mark text, Graphics, Barcodes, 2D, UID, Matrix, QR codes onto components or equipment with industry-leading accuracy.
- All systems are powered by high powered MOPA Fiber Laser Engines. What this means is that their lifespan is longer than most competitors in the market, and with power management and fast processing times you get maximum flexibility.
- Easy to install for marking and programming, with amazing software and ergonomic design.
- Packed with excellent features, the machines allow you to produce high quality results at high speed and the best quality engravings.
Our Recommended Laser Etching Systems
Packed with powerful features, the Zetalase™ XL is one of the biggest laser marking systems around with the widest work area compared to its counterparts. The Zetalase™ XL comes in different configurations, making it possible to accommodate large and tall components, parts or fixtures.
From the front standing point of view an automatic, vertical pneumatically actuated door makes it easy for ergonomics and the operator to control. The programmable Z-Axis, like the rest of the laser etching system range, can be clipped on making it easy and fast change in-between marking components.
There may be other medical laser etching systems that have a similar power output, but not the same kind of flexibility or ease-of-use. The Zetalase XL also comes with different focal lenses and software which you can use to resolve any application issues quickly and easily.
Making it easy to laser mark large parts
With the 15” touch screen monitor that comes as standard with your laser etching machine and an advance on-board processor, you can easily choose and edit pro-configured marking programs.
The Minilase™ Pro SE software makes programming very easy to operate, simply mark text, barcodes, logos, graphics, serial numbers, QR’s and lots more. The Minilase™ Pro SE software comes with CAD style tools, where you can add imagery, fonts, jpg’s, vectors in fact almost anything you can imagine you can start marking at http://www.needham-laser.com/product-category/laser-engraving-machines/
