About
Laser engraving printed circuit boards (PCBs)
PCBs are used in nearly all electronic devices to create a link between multiple electrical components. Lasers are used to etch into the material and create these intricate boards however lasers can also be used to mark onto the boards with important information, markings and branding.
technology
Laser Etching PCB
Using a laser to engrave into a circuit board requires extreme accuracy, the slightest mistake can lead to the board being unusable as the connections will not work correctly. When producing circuit boards at mass you need a high quality machine which will consistently create the prefect engraving to avoid breaking any circuits.
How do I laser mark PCB?
How do you create these marks on PCB without damaging the board? A UV laser is perfect for this task, being able to create clear, readable marks without using heat to deform the system at all. It uses cold processing to create a mark which does not engrave as deep as other lasers might. By using a UV laser you ensure the best quality mark possible with minimum risk to the board, this is perfect for marking your brand onto the board along with any traceability marks or codes.
applications
Why laser mark PCB?
Labelling is essential on circuit boards, making sure each component on the board is correctly labelled so anyone preforming maintenance on the board understands every piece of the system. using a laser to engrave this information ensures it is a permanent mark which is resistant to damage and heat which is common in electrical parts. laser engraving can also be important for branding the PCB, making any users of the product aware of the brand the PCB belongs too.
PCB can also be marked with codes essential to identify the board or it could link to important websites where you can see further information about the board or the product it is being used in.

Recommendations
If you want to engrave into PCB safely a UV laser would be the best option, it would ensure no damage is done to the circuit board and create a clear mark.
As one of the first commercially available UV laser marking machines, the Meta-C UV is able to mark practically anything. Designed to serve the commercial and industrial sectors, built with our time-tested Meta-C chassis, with a projected working life of over 15 years.
