In modern industrial production, the clarity, durability, and efficiency of workpiece marking play a vital role in traceability and process management. To meet diverse coding and scribing needs on large-format laser cutting machines, Han’s Laser has developed three mainstream solutions: inkjet marking and scribing, laser marking and scribing, and zinc powder spraying and scribing. Each technology comes with distinct advantages and is tailored for different manufacturing scenarios.

Inkjet Marking and Scribing – Flexible and Efficient for Small Batches

Inkjet marking technology includes dot-matrix mode and UV mode, both designed to form fine lines or patterns through ink deposition. This method is well-suited for applications requiring high-resolution and flexible marking.

• Dot-Matrix Mode: Uses multiple tiny ink dots arranged at variable distances to form characters, shapes, or complex graphics. Its strength lies in flexibility and precision, making it ideal for labels, packaging, or any application that demands clear and detailed identification.
• UV Mode: Applies UV ink directly and cures it instantly with ultraviolet light. This produces markings with higher durability and resistance. It is particularly valuable for anti-counterfeiting applications or marking on metallic surfaces.

Laser Marking and Scribing – High Precision and Industrial-Grade Durability

Laser marking has become a go-to solution in industrial environments thanks to its non-contact operation, consumable-free process, and permanent results.

The laser marking machine consists of an independent gantry beam mounted at the rear of the cutting area. The laser marking head moves along the X/Y/Z axes, enabling precise positioning and flexible operation across multiple areas.

Key benefits include:

• Ultra-high precision for fine text and codes.
• Strong durability with permanent marks resistant to wear.
• Low-temperature processing, ensuring no damage to sensitive materials.

This makes laser marking the preferred choice for part numbering, medical device identification, and automotive component traceability.

Zinc Powder Spraying and Scribing – High-Temperature, Corrosion-Resistant for Heavy Industry

Zinc powder spraying is specifically designed for heavy-duty metalworking, especially steel plate marking. It uses a flame spray gun to melt zinc powder at high temperature and deposit it onto the steel surface, forming corrosion-resistant, abrasion-proof markings.

Key advantages:

• Can be performed simultaneously with the cutting process, boosting efficiency.
• The zinc coating withstands harsh industrial environments, keeping markings clear and long-lasting.

This method is particularly well-suited for shipbuilding, steel structure fabrication, and construction machinery manufacturing.

Conclusion

Whether for fine, high-precision identification in light industry or long-lasting, corrosion-resistant markings in heavy industry, Han’s Laser provides comprehensive solutions with its three scribing technologies. Through continuous innovation, Han’s Laser empowers intelligent manufacturing worldwide, delivering reliable, efficient, and future-ready industrial solutions.
