Medical business is progressing day and day with new and enhanced quality products that complement a lot in treatment techniques. Catheter tube is one such modified product from ancient times that made lots of possibilities in curing and supporting several treatments.
This is actually a hollow material that can be inserted into human body for draining and injecting fluids. The total procedure of insertion of this tubular pipe is identified as catheterization. The size of the pipe varies from very small to wide ones and can be employed inside the body for temporary or stable purposes. Heart catheter is mainly utilized for opening a vein or an artery inside or next to the heart and for checking the blood, pressure and oxygen which helps in detecting the malfunctioning of heart valves. Inserting it along with an X-ray machine employs the alternative of visualizing the process happening inside the heart. Drainage catheter is utilized for draining fluids from certain body parts mainly from lungs, chest and spinal columns. And it is also used for treating the cyst from infections and swellings. Foley catheter mainly deals with the treatment of kidney diseases for clearing the fluids and other wastes from the bladder. Another important activity related to this is catheter marking which is mainly used in handling with cardiovascular diseases. The laser beams are used in this activity and has a wide range of chance in health industry. Medical device contract manufacturing industries are widely acknowledged by the health industry with the diversified reach of product availability within the committed phase of task. Different supporting products needed for the treatment techniques are provided by this industry.

Business requirements are strongly influence by system, as it requires fine products at fast rates. It provides better solutions, which can be modified with complete system integration.
Pad printing and laser marking processes are purely based on automation, since they use computer and control systems for printing process. Pad printing services is mainly used for decorative purposes in materials such as plastic, wood, metals, glass etc and the process involves conversion of 2D image on to a 3D surface. It is considered as a wet process and can be applied to any 3D object regardless of its shape, size and material. Process give elegant look to products and are widely used in electronic and medical industries. The process is simple enough and it involves carrying a 2D image from printing plate to 3D surface. Silicon can make fine print without any image distortion, so they are broadly used for printing process. Ink based on solvent can enhance printing quality. Process involves printing of complex designs and logos with different patterns and colors. Laser marking is another process in printing. This method is mostly applied in both soft and hard metals for marking. This type of markings are done with the help of lasers. Laser marking system is adopted in many industries for marking brand name of their companies. These are better solutions for precise as well as fast markings, as it employ accurate laser marking machines. Laser technology based marking systems combine the features such as stability, speed and performance, so they have well acceptance in present competitive world. Printing processes can make great impact in industrial as well as world market.

Laser marking tools

Metal and non metal surface marking can be done by using marking tools. Marking helps to distinguish a company from another . A company logo with alphabet, number and various graphical shapes are the most commonly used marks. The tools used for appropriate marking are marking stamps, blocks, punches and dies, in order to grant permanent, neat and precise marking stencil, engraving tools, stamping tools and embossing tools can be used. On metal such zinc, steel and on non metals such as plastic permanent and high definition marking can be done with the help of hand or laser marking machine as required. Certain industrial application such as cutting,marking,stamping,embossing and engraving can be done by laser marking which provide a simple and precise marking technique. Special software's are intended for computer aided marking.
Laser engraving is implemented by a complex and technical technique employing lasers to engrave, etch or mark an object in which movement of laser head is driven by computer system. The practice of incising a mark or design using engraving tools is known as laser engraving. They are pushed onto the metal surface to develop a cut or a design. A Wider line depends on intensity of penetration. Engraving tools with unique and recognizable quality marks can be differentiated based on steady, clean and deliberate form.
The laser engraving technique controlled by computer provides a simple and flexible method for engraving.

Laser engraving

Laser marking machine is used in a dynamic, highly adaptable process for high speed character, logo, graphic, barcode and 2D matrix marking. The major components in the machine include a laser, controller and a table surface. The laser beam is generated from the pencil, whose movement is controlled by the computer controller, and the surface chosen depends on the application of laser drawing. The laser beam can remove metal from a surface quite easily. The metal erosion takes place due to the intense heat developed by the beam. By programming the controller, different shapes of complex shape and design pattern can be generated and engraved. There is no fear that the beam will deviate its path as the exact position is known by the controller. Very accurate and decorative drawings can be made easily by adding a laser table to the machine. The ability to operate in vector and raster mode brings out vey accurate printing results.
Laser marking is a printing technique used to engrave or mark an object. Laser engraving is the process of marking design or prints on metal surfaces. The technique does not involve the use of inks or any kind of tools, but a sharp laser beam is concentrated on the surface to create that design or marking. Replacement is not required as there is no ink or tool used in this method. Techniques like printing, hot branding and laser bonding comes under this. Natural materials like wood and rubber, plastics, metals, alloyed compounds, stone and glass can be subjected to this technique. Excellent results are achieved if the power, speed and focusing of the laser beam onto the object is correctly made. It finds application in fine arts and jewelry.

LASER MARKING

Laser cutting, welding and marking are the three big metalworking applications. Laser marking machines are the highly accurate marking machines which used in all manufacturing industries for the process of identification marking. Laser marking materials are used in a process called laser bonding. Laser marking instruments use a high intensity laser to permanently and accurately mark shapes or characters onto surfaces such as metals or plastics at high speeds. The marking is done either using punches or laser marking machine. Laser marking can also be employed to ablate a coating or to cause a color change in certain materials. Laser marking enhances the esthetical & monetary value of products by making it more attractive, truly eye catching & easily visible that thus ensures its high market penetration. A laser guide provides a precise visual indication of where the cut will be positioned on the work piece in the current configuration.

Laser Marking and Laser Engraving

Laser Engraving
This is the most common term and simply defined, means that in the process of creating the mark, material is removed or vaporized during the process. An example in our business is CO2 laser engraving plastic for signage. This is often a two-ply plastic with one color called the "cap" laminated to a contrasting color called the "core". The engraving process removes the cap and exposes the core to create a sign that has an attractive look. There is also engraving in the processing of metals. Typically used to guarantee permanence, material is removed to create depth. Usually this is a process reserved for 1,064nm wavelength lasers (YAG for example) as those types of lasers couple well with metals. When engraving metals this way the laser is breaking the machined surface of the object, so oxidation or rusting can occur as a result. This would be a question at the time of feasibility testing. "Do you want depth? If so do you realize that the base material could oxidize? Depending on the answer the next option might be Laser Marking.

Laser Marking
Annealing or precipitation marking is commonly used when processing metal items where the surface of the part must stay intact. Often items like surgical implants, surgical instruments or high precision bearings require this type of marking. With laser marking, the heat of the laser actually redistributes the carbon in the material to create a jet black mark with only micron level surface disruption. If done correctly there will be no oxidation or rusting even under salt spray tests or autoclaving. If you processed the same material with a CO2 laser you would get an engraved marked with no contrast. This is all a matter of wavelength and how it reacts to the material OR the pigment in the material.
