Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Beschriften von Kunststoffen, indem ein Farbstoff an einer Kunststoffoberfläche vorbeigeführt und mittels eines Laserstrahls in die Kunststoffoberfläche eindiffundiert wird.The invention relates to a method for labeling plastics, in that a dye is guided past a plastic surface and is diffused into the plastic surface by means of a laser beam.

Bei Meß-, Regel-, Schalt- und Bedienungsgeräten sind oft gut lesbare, abgriffeste Beschriftungen anzubringen, die in der Zusammensetzung und Größe der Zeichen von Fall zu Fall verschieden sind. Dieses gilt insbesondere für die Tasten von Eingabeeinheiten, wie z.B. Schreibmaschinen.In the case of measuring, control, switching and operating devices, legible, easily readable inscriptions are often to be attached, which differ from case to case in the composition and size of the characters. This applies in particular to the keys of input units, e.g. Typewriters.

Bekannt ist der Transferdruck, bei dem ein mit Farbstoff versehener Träger aus Papier mittels eines heißen Druckstempels bei leichtem Anpreßdruck gegen den Kunststoff gedrückt wird, wobei der Farbstoff auf die Oberfläche übertragen wird.Transfer printing is known, in which a carrier made of paper and provided with a dye is pressed against the plastic by means of a hot pressure stamp with light pressure, the dye being transferred to the surface.

Der Nachteil dieses Verfahrens besteht darin, daß für jedes Zeichen besondere Stempel notwendig sind, so daß das Verfahren unflexibel hinsichtlich Schriften und teuer bei geringeren Stückzahlen ist. Auch ist bei einem solchen Stempel die Haltung der Temperatur schwierig, wobei diese Schwankungen zu Qualitätseinbußen hinsichtlich Farbstoffeintragung und Oberfläche des Kunststoffes führen kann.The disadvantage of this method is that special stamps are required for each character, so that the method is inflexible with regard to fonts and is expensive for smaller quantities. With such a stamp, it is also difficult to maintain the temperature Fluctuations can lead to a loss of quality in terms of dye entry and surface of the plastic.

Bekannt ist ferner das Beschriften eines Kunststoffteiles mit einem Laserstrahl, wobei dieser entsprechend dem Schriftzug geführt wird.It is also known to label a plastic part with a laser beam, which is guided in accordance with the lettering.

Der Nachteil dieses Verfahrens besteht darin, daß es durch die Einwirkung der Energie des Laserstrahles zu irreversiblen Umsetzungen im Kunststoff kommt, die meist mit signifikanten Farbänderungen verbunden sind. Die Farbänderung ist nur bedingt einstellbar; das heißt es ist nur eine helle Schrift auf dunklem Untergrund bzw, eine dunkle Schrift auf hellem Hintergrund möglich`The disadvantage of this method is that the action of the energy of the laser beam leads to irreversible reactions in the plastic, which are usually associated with significant changes in color. The color change can only be adjusted to a limited extent; that means it is only possible to use a light font on a dark background or a dark font on a light background

Aus EP 0 119 548-A2 ist ein Thermotransferdruckverfahren unter Verwendung von sublimierbaren Farbstoffen bekannt, wobei ein mit den Farbstoffen belegter Hilfsträger mit Laserstrahlung behandelt wird, die ausreicht, um die Farbstoffe wenigstens teilweise in die Kunststoffoberfläche eines Substrates eindringen zu lassen.A thermal transfer printing process using sublimable dyes is known from EP 0 119 548-A2, an auxiliary carrier coated with the dyes being treated with laser radiation which is sufficient to allow the dyes to at least partially penetrate into the plastic surface of a substrate.

Der Erfindung liegt the Aufgabe zugrunde, das Lasersublimationsdruckverfahren für die Herstellung von beschrifteten Kunststoffteilen mit gewölbter Oberfläche, insbesondere für die Herstellung von beschrifteten Kunststoffgerätetasten zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the laser sublimation printing process for the production of labeled plastic parts with a curved surface, in particular for the production of labeled plastic device buttons.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß das Trägermaterial über eine transparente Vorrichtung, die den Laserstrahl nahezu ungehindert durchläßt, gegen den Kunststoff gepreßt wird. Dadurch wird der Sublimationsfarbstoff direkt über das Trägermaterial auf den Kunststoff gepreßt.The object is achieved in that the carrier material is pressed against the plastic via a transparent device which allows the laser beam to pass through almost unhindered. As a result, the sublimation dye is pressed directly onto the plastic over the carrier material.

Für eine farbige Bedruckung haben sich Laserstrahlen mit einer Wellenlänge λ von 100 - 1500 nm, insbesondere von 1000 - 1500 nm bewährt. Die Leistungsdichte sollte 114 - 220 J/cm², insbesondere 124 - 150 J/cm², bei einer Einwirkzeit von 0,2 - 0,8 s/mm², insbesondere 0,5 - 0,7 s/mm², betragen. Vorteilhafte Ergebnisse sind mit einem Nd-YAG-Festkörperlaser (λ = 1,06 µm) mit einem Brennfleckdurchmesser zwischen 0,05 - 0,1 mm Durchmesser bei einer Wiederholfrequenz 0,5 - 15 KHz unter einer Stromstärke von 10-25 A und einer Geschwindigkeit von 5 - 50 mm/s, insbesondere von 5-15 mm/s, zu erzielen. Die Diffusionsmenge hängt von Stromstärke mal Modenzahl durch Geschwindigkeit ab. Die Erweichungstemperatur des Kunststoffes sollte dabei mindestens 30°C über der Sublimationstemperatur des Farbstoffes liegen.Laser beams with a wavelength λ of 100 - 1500 nm, in particular 1000 - 1500 nm, have proven themselves for colored printing. The power density should be 114-220 J / cm², in particular 124-150 J / cm², with an exposure time of 0.2-0.8 s / mm², in particular 0.5-0.7 s / mm². Advantageous results are with an Nd-YAG solid-state laser (λ = 1.06 µm) with a focal spot diameter between 0.05 - 0.1 mm in diameter at a repetition frequency of 0.5 - 15 KHz under a current of 10-25 A and one To achieve speeds of 5 - 50 mm / s, in particular 5-15 mm / s. The amount of diffusion depends on the current multiplied by the number of modes through speed. The softening temperature of the plastic should be at least 30 ° C above the sublimation temperature of the dye.

Mit Hilfe von Trägermaterial, das aus Papier, Gewebe oder Folie bestehen kann, wird der Sublimationsfarbstoff an die Stelle herangeführt, wo der Laserstrahl auftrifft. Vorteilhaft ist hierfür eine Vorrichtung mit einem schrittweise durchlaufenden Band, welches vor der Benutzung von einer Spule ab- und nach dem Signieren auf der nächsten Spule wieder aufgewickelt wird.With the help of carrier material, which can consist of paper, tissue or foil, the sublimation dye is brought to the place where the laser beam hits. A device with a step-wise continuous tape is advantageous for this, which tape is taken off a reel before use and rewound on the next reel after signing.

Durch eine gasundurchlässige Schicht, die gleichzeitig als Trägermaterial dienen kann, kann die gasförmige Phase des Sublimationsfarbstoffes nur in Richung des zu beschriftenden Kunststoffes abwandern.Due to a gas-impermeable layer, which can also serve as a carrier material, the gaseous phase of the sublimation dye can only migrate in the direction of the plastic to be labeled.

Da beispielsweise ein transparenter PU-Körper bei Wellenlängen im Bereich 1000 - 1500 nm, in dem beispielsweise der Nd-YAG-Festkörper-Laser strahlt, bei der üblichen Einwirkzeit praktisch keine Veränderung beim Durchstrahlen mit einem Laserstrahl aufweist, ist es möglich, über Fluidkissen das Trägermaterial sauber anzudrücken, wobei das Fluid als Energieträger beispielsweise zur Vorwärmung des Farbstoffes und damit schnelleren Eintritts in die gasförmige Phase dienen kann.Since, for example, a transparent PU body at wavelengths in the range 1000 - 1500 nm, in which, for example, the Nd-YAG solid-state laser emits, has practically no change in the irradiation with a laser beam during the usual exposure time, it is possible to do this using fluid cushions Press the carrier material cleanly, the fluid being able to serve as an energy carrier, for example for preheating the dye and thus for faster entry into the gaseous phase.

Das Verfahren kann unter anderem vorteilhaft bei Werkstoffen wie Acrylnitril-Butadien - Styrol (Novodur ®) Celluloseacetat (Cellidor ®) - Polyamide (Durethan ®) Polycarbonat (Makrolon ®), Polyester sowie Polybutylenterephthalat (Pocan ®) oder einer Mischung der genannten Polymere sowie vorzugsweise (PC/ABS-Blend (Bayblend ®) PC/PBTP-Blend (Makroblend ®) sowie Polyurethan als auch Silikonkautschuken eingesetzt werden. Insbesondere sind thermoplastische Werkstoffe verarbeitbar.The process can be advantageous, inter alia, for materials such as acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (Novodur®) cellulose acetate (Cellidor®) - polyamides (Durethan®) polycarbonate (Makrolon®), polyester and polybutylene terephthalate (Pocan®) or a mixture of the polymers mentioned, and preferably (PC / ABS blend (Bayblend ®) PC / PBTP blend (Makroblend ®) as well as polyurethane and silicone rubbers are used. In particular, thermoplastic materials can be processed.

Als Farbstoffe sind Thermodiffusionsfarben und Sublimationsfarben [RESIREN T®) geeignet.Thermal diffusion dyes and sublimation dyes [RESIREN T®) are suitable as dyes.
