Case Study: Laser Marking Wooden Barrels On GlobalSpec

From Trotec Laser, Inc.

Company Pauscha marks all wooden barrels with the corporate logo. Furthermore, Pauscha offers the service to engrave the ordered casks with the customers' logo and individual motives. These design requests vary with each customer. Originally, Pauscha applied the motives by branding iron. This method, however, is not only extremely time intensive, but also rather expensive, as each stamp has to be created individually. Therefore, Pauscha decided to invest into a new marking technology-a laser marking system.

The process of marking the casks must be fast and easy to handle and must not disturb the production flow. A large working area of the laser is required in order to be able to apply motives of differing sizes on the wooden barrels. As the application is rather dust intensive, it is important that delicate parts of the laser are perfectly protected, so that the reliability of the laser system is guaranteed.

Lasers

Lasers are devices that produce intense beams of monochromatic, coherent radiation. The word "laser" is an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Lasers

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) lasers use the energy-state transitions between vibrational and rotational states of CO₂molecules to emit at long IR, about 10 µm, wavelengths. These lasers can maintain continuous and very high levels of power and are typically used in cutting, welding, etching, and marking applications.
