Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for marking surfaces by the application of laser beams.
- the laser beam marking equipment has means for storing information relating to different types of marking characters, means for selecting the different types of marking, means for controlling the movements of the laser beam projector unit apart from the laser beam projector itself, which may be of the type provided with galvanometers.
- the process performed by the equipment consists of interpreting instructions on the types of writing and lettering to use so that the equipment control device generates instructions for moving the laser beam projector and switching on and off said laser beam projector to perform the marking to be produced.
- the different processes will be used optionally by the technician depending on the characteristics of the surface on which marking is required.
- surfaces that allow a chemical change of colour do not necessarily require an ablation process and surfaces with a surface layer of paint require a special process for the local removal of said layer of paint to form the characters or signs.
- the surfaces of materials such as glass or metal will preferably be marked by ablation, a process in which material is specifically removed in the part of the surface to be marked according to the characteristics of the laser beam projected.
- the visual impression is one of very little contrast. This occurs mainly on transparent materials marked by laser, but also on metals, etc. This optical effect is produced by light reflection, reflected only in the direction of the vector, and as a result the visual marking is poor.
- the inventors have developed a new process to which the present invention relates, based fundamentally on marking characters avoiding the continuous tracing currently known which produces little distinction by light reflection on lines produced individually by the laser device, by substituting said marking for marking by individual points which successively form each of the sections of the characters or signs to be marked. Accordingly the different points corresponding to each character are defined in such a way that the number of points, their separation and the characteristics of the points for each character to be marked are predetermined.
- the process according to the present invention is based on substituting the individual determinant outlines of a written character, for example, the arms -1- and -2- of a letter, in the case illustrated the letter "L", for respective series of individual points such as the points -1'-, -1"-, -1-"', etc. for the arm -1- and the points -2'-, -2"-, -2"'-, etc. for the arm -2- of said character.
- the number of points will be defined beforehand so that the characters or character source of the system will comprise the definition of the individual characters by series of points that are predetermined in number, arrangement and characteristics, for example, the marking trajectories, to obtain characters with a great capacity to reflect the ambient light in different directions which, as has been proven experimentally, very significantly increases the visibility of the marking.
- FIG. 2 An illustration of the process described can be seen in Fig. 2, showing the power applied in ordinates and the process time in abscissae.
- a waiting period -4- to improve the precision of point positioning and avoid imprecision due to inertia and times of increased power, moving next to the specific marking period -5- in which the maximum power indicated by the abscissa -6- is reached after an ascending curve -7-, which then descends following the curve -8- to no power, in other words, the switched-off position.
- the process continues for another period -9- of movement and a waiting period -10- to another marking period -11- and so on.
- the values of the different parameters for different signs will have been predetermined and stored in the control equipment of the laser equipment so that they can be selected at the required time, to produce the specific marking required.
- the process according to the present invention can also be applied to marking applications such as two-dimensional code, using the same process, allowing very high precision marking to be performed owing to the application of the waiting time between each two marking points.
- a two-dimensional figure -12- has been shown arranged on a rectangular frame with sides -13- and -14-, each individual outline having also been defined in said Fig. by means of series of predetermined points similar to what has been indicated above.
- the operation would basically be the same as has been indicated for the marking of each of the points, after its corresponding period of movement and waiting.
