High contrast for optimal visibility during the day and illumination at night.
Laser ablation or paint stripping in day and night designs is the preferred method for creating high-contrast marks on technical controls that are clearly visible during the day and night. Sharp black and white contrasts ensure perfect visibility during the day, while striking light and dark differences allow for optimal visibility in the dark. High-performance laser markers process a wide range of coated or painted substrates with high precision, selectively remove individual paint or coating layers, and create brightly backlit buttons and controllers in different colors.
Materials and Procedures
Laser ablation or paint removal is a flexible solution for high-end day and night applications, not only in the automotive and aircraft industries, but also in the production of electronics and household appliances.
Usually a transparent or translucent substrate (plastic in most cases, but other materials such as glass can also be used) are coated with one or more layers of colored paint or coating. In a day and night design (paint stripping/ablation), the laser removes these layers in a precise manner. Functional signs and symbols become clearly visible in sharp contrast.
Challenge
In addition to the high demands of marking with the best quality, manufacturers also need fast, efficient, zero-defect or virtually scrap-free production.
Outstanding marking results with maximum productivity and lowest operating costs: Optimal readability requires the highest contrast ratio; The uncompromising quality is the result of precise and sharp markings that are durable and highly wear-resistant. To ensure that the symbols are created exactly where they are intended and that the desired colors are used, the highest precision needs to be achieved during the paint removal process. Fast and error-free ablation enables maximum productivity and short machining times. Long-life, low-maintenance lasers for the lowest operating costs.

Parameter selection
Solvent-based water-based paints and coatings applied in a wide range of thicknesses and colors must be precisely removed for a superior visual appearance. The selection of the optimal laser parameters takes into account different paints and substrates and compensates for changes in paint density. This ensures that only the coating is removed without damaging the base material or the underlying surface of the lacquer.
Smart Marker Positioning
The laser marking system for intelligent marker positioning integrates vision technology to combine the best marking results with the highest productivity. The Smart Mark Positioning Camera is mounted directly inside the marking head and enables critical inspections before, during, and after machining. Operational errors can be prevented; It is possible to reduce the number of non-conforming parts.
