The DFL Nova Marker was developed specifically for demanding marking and engraving applications. It stands out for its versatility across a wide range of materials and is ideal for marking plastics and ceramics, as well as for fine engraving on metals. In addition, the new UV fiber laser offers optimal conditions for high-precision fine-cutting and structuring processes, such as in microelectronics, semiconductor manufacturing, or medical technology. Particularly sensitive materials can be processed with the DFL Nova Marker in a contactless, permanent, and exceptionally gentle manner. Very short laser pulses with high peak powers generate high power densities, causing the material to transition almost immediately into the vaporization state—a process known as “cold material processing.”

The UV laser achieves high-quality marking and texturing results on plastics and glass. Given the wide variety of materials used in the plastics processing industry, it is important that the laser beam be well absorbed by the material. Typically, additives, fillers, or pigments are added to the material for this purpose. The DFL Nova Marker produces a permanent mark, typically without the need for laser additives, and thus stands out significantly from conventional infrared lasers in the 1064-nanometer wavelength range.

Typical applications for the DFL Nova Marker include the electronics industry, where it is used for marking and structuring printed circuit boards, chips, and sensors, as well as for panel cutting of printed circuit boards. It is particularly noteworthy that the DFL Nova Marker produces clean edges without burn marks, consistently delivering repeatable quality, which sets it apart from comparable laser technologies, such as standard fiber lasers or solid-state lasers. Laser panel cutting represents a cost-effective alternative to mechanical methods, especially for small batch sizes and when cycle time requirements are less stringent.
