It’s a win-win situation! Long life and production cost savings for your equipment investment and safety for your workers.

It may sound simple, but with the help of professionals like Jorlink you’ll find the ideal Fume Extraction solutions for all your industrial and business marking needs.

Since War of The Worlds we’ve been fascinated by lasers. What they are – How they work– How to tame them. GCC LaserPro and Jorlink know how.

LASER is the acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
In earlier discussions we’ve talked about how to choose the right laser for your business; how to get started once the laser is in place; even the differences between lasers and rotary engravers. So what about other options in laser engraving and cutting? For instance:

How does a CO2 laser engraver work?  

A CO2 laser works by electrically stimulating the molecules of a carbon dioxide gas mixture. When this invisible but intensive beam is focused through a lens it can vaporize many materials. The speed and intensity of the C02 laser beam determines the wide variety of materials it is able to engrave or cut through.

Choosing a laser

TherMark laser marking materials work with almost any laser to expand its capabilities and improve the value of the laser alone. Whether you already own a laser(s) or are looking to buy one, it is important to understand how TherMark products from Jorlink can help you with laser marking orders. Two popular lasers in use today and worth discussing are CO2 lasers and solid state.

Most Cermark/TherMark or Laser Bond/LBT products are liquid or paste inks (except for a few tape products). The ink products can be primarily applied to the substrate either by spraying or painting with a foam brush. Two of these products can be used directly via their own aerosol cans. Traditional ink products are available also as well as specialty inks for pad printing and screen printing.

First and foremost is cleanliness. Clean the surface to be marked (all products). The process of bonding between laser marking material and substrate occurs at a molecular level so it is important the substrate be free of all kinds of contamination such as oil, debris or coatings. The overall quality of your mark strongly depends on the cleanliness of the substrate prior to material application. Depending on the substrate, it should be cleaned with either a solvent such as alcohol or rinsed with soap and water and completely dried. Be careful not to use a cleaning agent that leaves any kind of residue behind.
