The process is contactless, minimizing the risk of introducing contaminants or damaging delicate structures. Fiber laser engraving machines from ZhanFeng Laser are equipped with intuitive software, automating the integration of serialized data and graphics into high-mix, low-volume production environments.
Medical Device Laser Welding and Micro-Machining by Fiber Lasers
Laser welding is a critical application in the assembly of medical devices, where strong, hermetic seams are essential. ZhanFeng Laser provides fiber laser welding solutions for joining metals and alloys with minimal thermal distortion. Laser micro-machining further allows for the creation of fine features, such as micro holes in filtration devices or precise slots in stents.
Fiber laser ablation and laser surface texturing are used to enhance device functionality, such as improving adhesion for coatings or creating anti-microbial surfaces. These micro-scale processes offer high accuracy, enabling the production of features at the micron level that are impossible with traditional machining.
Plastic and Polymeric Medical Device Processing with Fiber Laser Technology
While metals are prevalent in medical devices, the use of plastics and polymers is also significant. ZhanFeng Laser’s advanced fiber laser systems support plastic laser marking and engraving for items such as syringes, housings, and disposable devices. The cold marking process prevents material degradation, preserving the biocompatibility and mechanical strength of the components.
Applications include laser marking for traceability on polycarbonate, polypropylene, and ABS medical parts. Deep laser engraving can be used for tactile or visual identification, while laser ablation enables patterning or removal of surface coatings for functional or decorative purposes.
