Laser marking is a non-contact technique with no contamination and no damage and with the ability to integrate with the computer technology. It is one of the most widely used laser techniques in the current market. Laser marking projects high energy and high density laser light on the subject so that the surface of the subject will evaporate or change color to form permanent markings. It is characterized by high precision, wide application, no consumable, high efficiency and no pollution.
Global laser marking market analysisSince laser marking technique was first invented in 1970s, it has been developing very rapidly. By 1988, laser marking has become one of the biggest applications, taking up 29% of the total global industrial applications. In industrially developed countries, laser marking technique has successfully combined with CNC technique and flexible manufacturing technique, creating multi-function laser marking systems. And more and more laser marking machine manufacturers appear, such as Control Laser Corp from the United States and NEC from Japan. They many years of experience of R&D and their laser marking machines have a high level of automation and practicability, so their machines are very popular among the users.
Laser marking machine is one of the most early applied laser technique. Early in 1995, the leading laser marking machine manufacturer Gravotech entered the laser marking market. And for domestic laser marking machine supplier Hans Laser which was founded in 1996 also started its business in button laser marking machine. As the laser technique becomes more and more mature and the global economy develops stably, laser marking machines are in stable demand in material processing, communication, medical, instruments and other industries. And the global laser marking market scale is also developing stably. According to the authorized data, the global laser marking market scale in 2020 reached 2.7 billion US dollars while the annual compound growth rate in 2014-2020 was around 5.6%.
Domestic laser marking market analysisIn the late 70s and early 80s, domestic professional manufacturers which produce laser processing systems appeared. And in the 90s, as laser technique and computer technique developed, the laser marking machines became more and more well-established.
By the time of 2020, the laser marking machines of some of the domestic manufacturers had been almost as good as those of the oversea manufacturers. At the same time, since domestic laser marking machines were less expensive than the oversea ones, they were more competitive in certain areas,such as automobile parts, electronics, medical equipment and gifts.
However, as domestic laser marking machines are having lower and lower prices, the competition becomes fiercer and fiercer and some of the manufacturers only have 5% of net profit. In this situation, quite a lot of laser marking machine manufacturers search for the new directions. One is shifting from domestic market to oversea market. Second is adding high additive value product line such as laser cutting, laser welding and laser cleaning machines. Third is to abandon the medium-low end market and focus on the customization market and the high end market.
As domestic laser marking machines are heading towards high-end direction, their accessories need to catch up with the latest technology. And as the core accessory, laser cooler needs to be as precise as possible. S&A CWUP series circulating water chillers are known for their precise temperature control of ±0.1℃ and small footprint. Plus, they even support Modbus485-communication protocol to allow remote control.
