UV "cold marking" produced clear, high-contrast, permanent marks on delicate plastic housings — whatever the colour of the substrate.
For manufacturers of critical components like electro-mechanical relays and switches, clear and durable marking is essential. A leading company in this field recently approached us with a challenge. They needed a reliable solution to mark their plastic housing components, one that could seamlessly integrate with their sophisticated automation system.
The marks needed to be permanent, precise, and easily readable across a variety of plastic colors and materials. Traditional marking methods often struggle with this, either failing to provide the required clarity or damaging the part.
Coemtek was up to the task. We designed and implemented a custom solution that not only met their speed and price requirements but also delivered exceptional results. Our choice of a UV-based laser was the key. Unlike other lasers, UV lasers produce a "cold marking" process, making them ideal for delicate plastic substrates. This resulted in clear, high-contrast marks on every component, regardless of its color.
The successful implementation and flawless performance of our system not only solved their immediate needs but also earned their trust. We're proud to say this happy customer has rewarded us with more orders, a testament to the quality and reliability of our solutions.
