Laser Marking

Because of its speed and durability, laser etching is the process that we recommend for most marking applications.

Laser marking is the process of marking parts or workpieces using laser technology. A laser beam hits the material, and its energy creates a reaction that leaves a permanent mark.

You can’t laser engrave stainless steel. Here’s why this metal alloy is different, and what's the alternative.

Metals have a tendency to get dirty, to corrode and to have unexciting surface finishes. To solve these issues coatings may be applied to metals. Aluminum gets anodized, steel gets painted and...

Laser annealing does not remove anything from a metal surface. In fact, the marking does not change the surface roughness of the metal surface. It is particularly interesting for applications in which...

Fiber Laser Systems Fiber lasers use fiber optics as their gain medium. Other common gain mediums are gazes, crystals or mixture of dyes. Fiber lasers use laser diodes as...

Diecasts can now be identified right at the exit of the casting machine to ensure foolproof traceability A Changing Automotive Environment Your customers’ requirements are...

Like any other laser, fiber optic lasers are devices that generate light of a special kind. The laser beam is collimated, which means its rays are parellel, and monochromatic, featuring only a single...

Fiber lasers are used to carry out laser direct part marking (LDPM) on various metals. From the softer to the hardest metals, it is possible to mark individualized identifiers that takes the forms of...

Traceability can be the source of a great competitive advantage for diecasters and many others in the primary metals industry. Laser marking combined with Data Matrix Code is a great means to do...

This post offers an overview of laser direct part marking, the reasons to favour Data Matrix Codes over any other encoding mechanism, how much time is required to uniquely identify a part and a quick...

We have been saying for quite some time now that laser Direct Part Marking (DPM) is the sturdiest way to implement a traceability system. We have put our beliefs to the test, and the results are in....
