Overview of Laser Processing Equipment

High-precision chromatic laser processing equipment is a next-generation surface engineering solution that employs advanced ultrafast pulsed lasers to create nano- and micro-scale structures or controlled oxide layers on diverse substrates. By manipulating light interference, diffraction, and reflection, this system enables striking visual outcomes such as rainbow gradients, vivid color-shifting surfaces, and metallic brilliance without chemical dyes or coatings. The process is non-contact, highly accurate, and environmentally sustainable, making it a preferred choice for consumer electronics, automotive decoration, premium packaging, and artistic jewelry manufacturing.

Working Mechanism of Chromatic Laser Processing Equipment

1. Surface Micro/Nano Structuring

   • Ultraviolet Cold Ablation: UV laser pulses directly etch shallow grooves or nanopatterns, subtly changing surface reflectivity and enabling light-wave interference (e.g., precision oxide layer control on polymers).

   • Infrared/Thermal Processing: Fiber or IR lasers induce localized heating, melting, or vaporization to form nano-gratings and periodic arrays on metals, producing vivid diffraction-based coloration.

2. Optical Color Formation

   • Thin-Film Interference: Ultra-thin oxide coatings (such as those on stainless steel or titanium alloys) refract different wavelengths, creating a spectrum of rainbow shades.

   • Diffraction & Scattering Effects: Laser-generated microstructures redirect light at various angles, resulting in dynamic, view-dependent holographic colors seen in luxury and security applications.

Key Features of Chromatic Laser Processing Equipment

1. Ultra-Fine Accuracy

   • Sub-micron resolution with real-time feedback loops ensures repeatable results and minimal defect rates.

2. Broad Wavelength Adaptability
