UV Laser Marking Machine
Since 2011, Zixu has expanded from needle markers to laser markers that produce complex, high-contrast, permanent markings on a wide variety of materials and products with minimal damage to surrounding materials, as well as marking logos, manufacturer information, package labels, Unique Device Identifiers (UDI), barcodes, Datamatrix codes (QR), production dates, expiration dates, and more! graphic content on a variety of materials.
Our reliable UV laser marking machines can be used on virtually all common workpiece materials and are especially suited for non-metallic materials such as plastics, acrylics, glass, ceramic, paper, crystals, diamonds, silicon circuit boards, silicone, wood, paper and textiles, as well as marking metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, gold, silver, chrome, platinum, etc. We can recommend specific configurations and marking parameters based on desired marking or engraving results, speeds, sizes and shapes, and offer a wide range of options from lightly customized rotary marking, 3D engraving or in-line flying systems to highly customized multi-axis systems.

Description
In recent years, the price of UV laser markers has dropped, making them the preferred choice for more and more users. Compared to fiber lasers or CO2 lasers, UV laser markers have much less thermal effect when marking or engraving, allowing for higher contrast marking on objects such as plastic bags while reducing scorching or thermal distortion. In addition, UV laser markers typically have a smaller focal point, allowing for sharper lines and smaller graphic content, such as 2mm x 2mm QR codes. In general, we offer standard open or closed tabletop, floor-standing, and in-line UV laser markers. Due to the size and weight of the lasers, we recommend tabletop UV laser markers only for low to medium power applications, such as 3W, 5W, 10W, and for higher power applications, such as 15W, 20W, 25W, 30W, we recommend floor standing or flying UV laser markers only.
The use of dynamic rotary marking modules with UV laser markers for personalized content marking on products such as glass bottles has been a popular end-market application for us in recent years. Compared to conventional UV laser marking machines, it is possible to mark a continuous 360-degree surface without any splicing, making it particularly suitable for flexible customization for mid- to high-end users. For more complex shapes, such as perfume bottles, a 3D front focus scanning galvanometer can be combined with the UV laser to achieve perfect personalized marking of complex surfaces.
In general, conventional UV marking machines are rarely used for engraving due to their low power and shallow depth of focus. But for materials such as wood and cardboard, the UV laser marking machine’s cutting edge can remain completely undiscolored, which is similar to knife cutting, also used by some customers for flexible production of personalized high-end gift packaging. In addition, combined with the 2.5D post-focusing galvo, 3D pre-focusing galvo, or automatic lifting module, but also achieve deeper engraving depth. In the case of crystal or glass subsurface engraving, as shown in this video, the size of each bubble from the UV marker is smaller than traditional green laser subsurface engraving, allowing for more detailed and smoother 3D graphics.
