Analysis of the Advantages of Laser Marking in the PCB Industry


👉https://www.jrpanel.com/T👈


Laser marking is a very advanced marking technology. Through the focused laser engraving technology, the characters and patterns that need to be marked are carved on the surface of the object. Compared with traditional printing technology, laser marking has the characteristics of good quality, high consistency, strong wear resistance, high efficiency, cost saving, safety and reliability, and it is widely used in the PCB industry.

 

Market demand under technological progress 


With the rapid development of the IT industry, smart phones, wearable electronics and other products continue to develop towards lightness, thinness and miniaturization. Consumers have higher and higher requirements for electronic products, and the production of PCBs must also be improved. In order to realize the quality control of the PCB production process, marking characters, one-dimensional codes, two-dimensional codes and other information on the PCB for traceability has become the development trend of the industry.

 

Defects of traditional printing technology

 

Marking on the surface of the PCB board like pattern drawing, company LOGO printing, contact information, two-dimensional code, etc., in the past, silk screen in traditional printing was usually used. Under the original market demand, traditional printing technology can also meet the requirements of the market. However, as the quality of electronic products continues to improve, consumers' requirements are getting higher and higher, resulting in higher and higher marking quality of PCB boards in the market. Traditional printing Technology cannot adapt to new market requirements, and its shortcomings are becoming more and more obvious, such as:

 

1. Poor abrasion resistance. The abrasion resistance mentioned here is not the abrasion resistance of metal materials. It refers to the situation that the ink on the surface of the PCB is often worn away during use, causing blurring, discoloration, etc.


2. Aesthetic requirements. The appearance of metal surface printing is relatively low-end. It is not suitable for some products with higher appearance requirements, such as medals, metal business cards, exquisite company promotional nameplates.


3. In the ordinary printing process, organic solvents and heavy metal elements and other chemical raw materials are required. These substances are toxic and can cause personal injury to screen printing workers. In addition, during the drying process of screen printing inks, volatile chemical raw materials gradually volatilize into the air, causing pollution to the air and the environment.

 

Unique advantages of laser marking

 

The emergence of laser marking technology has successfully solved a series of problems in traditional printing technology. It is characterized by high marking accuracy, fast speed and stable performance. Moreover, it only needs to be controlled by a computer, and the operation is simple, and it can print various complicated patterns, texts, two-dimensional codes and other content, which fully meets the high-quality marking requirements of the existing PCB industry.

 

1. Good quality and strong wear resistance. The marking on the surface of the PCB is clear and beautiful, and various LOGO, patterns, two-dimensional codes, and text can be marked, and the patterns are directly engraved on the material, which has more outstanding wear resistance.

 

2. High processing accuracy. After the laser beam emitted by the laser is focused, the smallest spot diameter can reach 10um (UV laser), which is of great help when processing complex graphics and precision processing.

 

3. High efficiency, simple operation and lower cost. The user only needs to set the parameters on the computer to mark directly, and the surface marking of the material can be completed in just a few to ten seconds.

 

4. Non-destructive marking. Laser marking uses non-contact processing, the laser head does not need to touch the surface of the material, so there is no need to consider the damage to the material.

 

5. Stable performance and long equipment life. With the development of technology, the service life of lasers has been greatly increased, and the service life of equipment has been greatly lengthened.

 

The use of laser marking QR code technology in the PCB industry can realize PCB production, process, and quality traceability, and realize automated and intelligent management requirements to meet the needs of lean production, quality control, and process improvement. Marking two-dimensional codes on the surface of PCBs is currently a common demand of mid- to high-end customers and has been widely used.

Tactile Vs. Non Tactile Membrane Switches | What’s the difference?

图片
👉https://www.jrpanel.com/T👈 C ircuit boards typically rely on membrane switches to turn parts of the device off and on. There are two main membrane switches in use today on printed circuit boards. One is referred to as a tactile membrane switch, and the other is called a non-tactile membrane switch. Each switch performs a different function on the printed circuit board. Here is an overview of the differences between a tactile and a non-tactile membrane switch. Construction A tactile switch is a momentary switch designed to provide a tactile (physical) response when pressed to activate it. There is an overlay on top of the switch that sits above a metal dome inside the switch. The overlay has letters, symbols, and/or designs on it that you use to identify what happens. When a symbol on the overlay is pressed down, it pushes a metal dome down under the symbol, so it presses against a conductive footprint. The conductive footprint then connects to the silver printed circuit, and action ...

👉https://www.jrpanel.com/T👈 This articles shows how to read circuit diagrams for beginners in electronics. Learn to read electrical and electronic circuit diagrams or schematics. A drawing of an electrical or electronic circuit is known as a circuit diagram, but can also be called a schematic diagram, or just schematic. Circuit or schematic diagrams consist of symbols representing physical components and lines representing wires or electrical conductors. In order to learn how to read a circuit diagram, it is necessary to learn what the schematic symbol of a component looks like. It is also necessary to understand how the components are connected together in the circuit. Battery and Light Bulb Circuit Probably the simplest circuit that can be drawn is one that you may have seen in a school science class: a battery connected to a light bulb as shown below. Simple Circuit Diagram for Beginners Circuit Symbols and Physical Components Each electronic or electrical component is represented...
