The CO2 laser is an advanced tool used in industrial marking for its precision and versatility. The characteristic wavelength in the far infrared interacts effectively with a wide range of organic materials, including plastic, glass, wood, and fabrics. This technology allows for permanent, high-resolution markings without consumables, ensuring high-quality results. The CO2 laser offers significant advantages in terms of marking speed and quality, making them ideal for applications in sectors such as automotive, electronics, packaging, and promotional products. The versatility and customization capability make the laser an indispensable tool for product traceability and branding.
The CO2 laser uses an electrically stimulated carbon dioxide gas to generate a laser beam with a wavelength of about 10.6 micrometers, situated in the far infrared. This specific wavelength is highly absorbed by organic materials, making the CO2 laser particularly effective for marking non-metallic surfaces. The marking process occurs through controlled vaporization, carbonization, or ablation of the surface material, allowing for precise and detailed engravings and markings. Like all laser technologies, a significant advantage of the CO2 laser is the absence of physical contact with the material being processed, thus eliminating mechanical wear and reducing the need for maintenance. Additionally, the technology does not require consumables such as inks or solvents, reducing operational costs and environmental impact. Electronic control systems allow for high programmability, with the ability to vary laser power, scanning speed, and focus to adapt to different applications. This makes the CO2 laser a flexible and efficient solution for high-precision industrial marking.

In this mode, the laser operates without a control PC, making it suitable for integration into production lines where space is limited. No operator interface is necessary, and installation time is significantly reduced.
In an automated environment, as an alternative to FlyCAD, there is the FlyPowermark software with a completely customizable operator interface. We can manage various data input methods, for example, access to the company’s factory system (database, web services, TCP/IP protocols). Furthermore, being potentially able to manage an infinite number of lasers, it is possible to design the application to simultaneously control all the lasers present on the production line.
