Laser marking on seats
Today we bring you again an article related to laser marking and traceability. If in previous articles, we talked about traceability in the aeronautical industry or in the cosmetics sector, among others, today we want to focus on an essential aspect of any automobile: its seats.
By using a unique identifier for each part, stamping manufacturers can improve their traceability capabilities. They can also replace manual masking operations with selective paint exclusion.
Laser marking on seat supports
Our lasers are perfect for establishing durable identifiers on seat brackets. They engrave persistent identifiers of very good quality that extend traceability thanks to powder coating and electronic coating.
Thanks to laser cleaning, manual masking is a thing of the past. Instead, the entire part is coated and then the coating is removed from specific areas. This process leaves the substrate intact, preserving the integrity of the substrate for further processing.
Applications of laser marking and laser cleaning on seats
Benefits of laser marking on seat supports
- You avoid traceability problems thanks to the use of permanent identifiers.
- Engraves the highest quality codes that remain in electrophoresis or powder coatings.
- It certifies the codes automatically so that there are no defective codes at the end of the manufacturing process.
- It uses the central server to automatically control what information is marked with the laser.
- Maximize time by loading one part while marking another.
- Benefit from fast marking speeds and minimal downtime.
Benefits of laser cleaning on seat supports
- Getting rid of manual masking
- Cleans surfaces firmly, concisely and quickly
- Avoids deterioration of the metal.
- Remove coatings only from specified areas
- Clean, complex and angular shapes
- Lower labor costs
- Automatic validation of cleaning quality
Laser marking on brake pads
Brake manufacturing with laser technology
By replacing technologies such as chemical baths, sandblasting, or micro-percussion systems, laser technology eliminates the use of numerous consumables, minimizes recurring costs and improves quality, without affecting cycle time at any time.
Lasers can remove oxides and coatings from brake pads, texturize surfaces to increase consistency, and install robust, high-contrast identifiers to ensure unparalleled traceability.
Benefits of laser brake pad cleaning
- Shy away from small cracks involving the integrity of safety critical components
- Thoroughly cleaning the surface will give you a better adhesion before painting.
- Saving money by cleaning parts where paint has been rejected
- Keeping you up to date with cycle time requirements.
- Avoid consumable costs
- Integrating green technology
Benefits of laser texturing for brake pads
- Improves adhesion of metal to other components
- Achieve unparalleled paint adhesion with uniform and accurate textures
- Elimination of consumable costs
- Removal of surface contaminants at the same time with the same laser
- Perform laser marking with the same laser
- Integrating green technology
Benefits of laser marking for brake pads and brake discs
- Engrave permanent and friction-resistant markings
- Obtaining high-contrast codes and alphanumeric characters
- Validate marking quality automatically to avoid traceability problems
- Automatically manage major part positioning variations
- Minimizing operational and maintenance costs
Laser marking and traceability on other stamped components
Hundreds of parts stamped with identical lot numbers can create costly recalls and quality problems by making traceability difficult. To increase traceability capabilities, laser marking can be used to generate unique identifiers for each part.
Sivart/SIC Marking technology enables the creation of 2D codes that survive stamping and e-coating, allowing traceability to be integrated upstream of these processes.
Benefits of Laser Marking in the Automotive Stamping Industry
- Engraved identifiers that resist embossing and electrophoretic coating
- Generation of a unique identification for each part
- Identification of the exact origin of defects at all production steps and locations
- Avoid costly recalls, quality problems…
- Automatic post-process code quality validation
- Marking of multiple part models with the same laser machine
