Will You Add? - Understanding Laser Marking and Laser Etching Systems
Today’s world is a busy world. Every one is busy with something or the other. Lifestyles of people all over the world are becoming more and more active. In this frenzied world, people are looking for things that are as easy to use and maintain as possible. The same applies to clothing. Consumers desire ‘hassle-free’ or ‘easy-care’ clothing that would require minimum maintenance. The demand for such easy-care clothing is growing. Today’s consumer wants clothes that would perform multiple uses, that is be used at work, at parties and also for after-work activities. These clothes should be durable and easy to care for. Comfort combined with practicality is what the consumers are looking for these days.The topmost factors desired by consumers in their clothing ar

Frank Schroeder was one of the most successful insurance salesmen I ever met. He owned two Porches and two sets of electric drums and lived like a king. We did some business together and I asked him what the secret to his success was. And at this point I must digress. I have sold insurance very successfully in Canada and in South Africa. I no longer sell insurance; I specialize in Joint Ventures. But I have found very few insurance salespeople who share Frank’s philosophy or his success. Many of them have very strange labels and titles that they have concocted for themselves in order to disguise the fact that they sell insurance, yet they should be proud of their important work. And they are so focused on selling that they are proof of the self-fulfilling prophecy s
• The mark is extremely durable, permanent and in most cases cannot be removed without destroying the product itself, this is true for laser marking, laser etching, or laser annealing.
• The laser marking process is accurate, 100% repeatable, fast, with very clear sharp results.
• The laser mark or laser etch can quickly and easily be changed without any machine change over, and, without replacing any tools. The changing of a laser marking or laser etch is a simple drag and click computer operation.
• The laser requires no consumables and no additional purchases of added materials or supplies. Therefore the operating and maintenance costs of owning and running the laser marking or laser etching system are virtually non existent.
Laser Basics
The word laser is an acronym for light amplification by simulated emission of radiation. The laser beam is formed in a sealed tube with an electrode set, laser gas, and electrical discharge. The beam is emitted into a telescope which expands the laser beam from a size of approximately 2mm as the beam exits the laser tube up to 7mm to 14 mm for most laser marking or laser etching operations. The expanded beam is directed into a laser head containing two mirrors located on high speed galvo motors. The laser beam is directed off the mirrors though a single element flat field lens to the product being laser marked or etched.

Make-You-Happy Action Teams (MAT) plays a critical role in managing employee retention. This is Z-Theory management. To briefly sate, Z-Theory management means everyone that is effected by a decision for the company gets a “say” or a “vote” in the decision (tons more on Z-Theory Management in another article).This means employees are directly involved in decision making that affects them. When they make decisions that directly affect them, they stay around longer! Pretty simple.You’re going to want to form a MAT in a number of instances:* Whenever you’re working on one of those big issues that will get a better answer when you get the group of stakeholders involved.* When you have an issue that is causing conflict or problems in your bu

There are as many ways to write an after action report as there are hospitals that are now required to perform disaster drills and write after action reports analyzing the performance of the institution following a disaster or a disaster exercise. Since there are 5,756 licensed hospitals in the United States, there are 5,756 different ways that are currently employed to write the after action review. At most institutions, after action reviews are written by a committee between 12 and 18 individuals, managers and supervisors who in addition to their regular duties, have been charged with analyzing the performance of their departments during an adverse event or disaster exercise.When these individuals meet, they review the disaster plan and the performance of

If you are smart, you will form a business entity for your business start up. The question, however, is how do you find investors and what do you sell them in exchange for critically needed money.For the purposes of this article, let’s assume you formed a corporation to start your business. Let’s also assume you have friends and families interested in investing. If you don’t, there are a lot of questions about selling securities to the general public, so let’s avoid that situation. Regardless, how are you going to raise money so you can carry out your business plans?The first step most people take to raise money is to give away equity. In the case of a corporation, this means selling shares to potential investors in exchange for cash. While this is a l

If you are browsing for information on the Nevada Corporation Commission, you can get a whole lot of it, through their online resource. You can find out more in detail about the corporation and its working from their online resource. Once there you can search for example the commissioners who are presently holding office, phone numbers or even current openings in the corporation commission.One can also search for the latest news releases from the commissioners. If you are new to Nevada and want to find out more about getting an electric connection, for example, all you need to do is either fill a form online or go the corporation commission filing office and fill out an application. The prospectus will give you all the information you needed about getting a
Typically the laser marking or laser etching fields created range in size from 65mm x 65mm [2.5” x 2.5”] at the smallest size to 356mm x 356mm [14.0” x14.0”] square at the largest. The next consideration is the laser beam spot size. This is the size of the focused laser light energy at the laser marking or laser etching point on the product and can vary from approximately 200 micron [micrometers] or .0078” at the smallest to approximately 540 microns or .021” for Co2 lasers. The laser beam spot size ranges from approximately 20 microns or .0007” at the smallest to approximately 70 microns or .0027” at the largest for Nd:YAG lasers. These small spot sizes and highly focused laser light energy create the detailed, clear, permanent marking that is typical of the laser marking or laser etching process.
Controlling Lasers and Laser Marking Options
Laser markers and laser etchers are controlled via software. Several variables need to be controlled:
1. Laser power as measured in watts
2. Frequency, meaning the pulse frequency of the laser beam
3. Inches per second, meaning the speed that the beam steering mirrors are moving
Determining the correct setting for the laser is the single most important and critical element in the success or failure of the laser marking process. Once the proper settings have been determined and demonstrated a 100% repeatable laser mark can be achieved.
Laser controller software is accessed via a PCI interface card. This sends the digital signals of the computer based marking or etching files to the motors and directs the laser beam to the product being laser marked or laser
