    Automated Door Laser Marking Machine 

    As our most flexible automated solution, the door machine allows you to position markings anywhere and lets the robot load parts from any direction. It is ideal if the robot can perform other tasks during marking.

    • Flexible part loading
    • Robot can perform other tasks during marking
    • Industrial grade
    • Operator part selection & validation
  • Conveyor Laser Marking Machine 

    Adapted to your conveyor system, the conveyor marking machine manages part positioning variations automatically, allowing you to precisely mark moving parts on the fly or parts that are stopped for another process.

    • Easy to retrofit
    • Marking on the fly
    • Adjustments for part positioning variations
 

CO2 Laser Marking Machines

CO2 laser marking systems can power our machines. They can be optimized for thin and flat materials such as fabrics, plastics and rubber. You can find out how our machines can be customized for your application by speaking with an expert.

Benefits of Our Laser Marking Machines for Production Lines

Laser beam for traceability
Improve Your
Traceability Capabilities

Our laser technology can push your capabilities further by allowing you to implement traceability in a harsh environment, create permanent markings that resist surface treatments, or improve the contrast of your identifiers.

Low maintenance for laser marking machines
Lower
Inline Maintenance

Laser machines help you keep downtime to a minimum because they use a non-contact process that functions without consumables. They rarely need to be stopped for maintenance, unlike other marking technologies like dot peening, scribing, and inkjet printing.

Cycle times safe with laser marking conveyor
Keep Up with
Short Cycle Times

Capable of meeting the most challenging cycle times, the laser beams marking your parts are backed by up to 1,000W of laser power. You can choose from various machine configurations based on your requirements.

Guarantee  100000 hours of operations
Operate for
100,000 Hours

Our machines are equipped with a high-quality laser source that keeps them running 24/7 for at least 10 years with the same marking quality and low maintenance.

Industrial Laser Marking Applications & Videos

Manufacturers all over the world use our lasers to mark serial numbers, data matrix codes, QR codes and logos on their parts and products. Here are a few examples of applications.

 

Laser Marking of Automotive Parts

Parts such as aluminum die castings often need to comply with traceability regulations to ensure that automotive OEMs manage potential recalls effectively. Since laser marking creates high-contrast and permanent marks, it is widely used to meet these requirements.

Laser Etching of Steel

Oxide layers that form on steel usually need to be removed before applying a permanent mark. The resulting white background is ideal to improve contrast and obtain high-quality marks.

Laser Annealing of Stainless Steel

Stainless steel needs to be laser annealed to protect its chromium oxide layer and prevent rust from getting into the metal. This marking process creates a permanent laser mark through a chemical reaction under the surface.

Laser Marking of Plastics and Polymers

Plastics like PVC and polyethylene can be marked using a fiber or a CO2 laser marker, as different types of plastics need different wavelengths. Performing tests based on the marking requirements helps determine the best type of laser for each application.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Types of Laser Markers

  • Which laser source should I choose to mark my material?

    The laser source determines the wavelength of the laser, and some wavelengths are better at marking certain materials. Even if a laser is not perfect for your material, it can still be the best choice for your application for considerations like maintenance and speed. For this reason, it is essential to discuss your application with a laser expert.

    Here is a brief overview of each type of laser and the materials they can mark.

    • Fiber lasers (≈1,070 nm) are ideal for metal marking, including for steel, aluminum, magnesium, lead, and zinc. They can also be used to mark other materials, including rubber and copper.
    • CO2 lasers (≈10,600 nm) can mark carbon-based materials like plastics, wood, and cardboard. They can also leave non permanent marks on metals if a marking spray is applied on the surface beforehand.
    • Blue lasers (≈450 nm) and green lasers (≈532 nm) are especially good at marking materials like copper and gold.
    • UV lasers (≈355 nm) can mark a wide variety of materials, including glass, polycarbonate, silver, aluminum, and copper.
  • Which type of laser is ideal for industrial laser marking?

    Fiber lasers are by far the best type of lasers for industrial laser marking because of their high speed, low maintenance, good heat management, low energy consumption, and ease of automation.

  • What’s the difference between laser diodes and DPSS lasers?

    Blue, green, and UV lasers are available as laser diodes or DPSS lasers.

    Laser diodes emit laser light of the chosen color directly, but they quickly lose in precision as laser power increases. This limits their usefulness in production environments requiring speed.

    DPSS lasers use methods called frequency doubling (for blue and green lasers) or frequency tripling (for UV lasers). As a consequence of frequency conversion, DPSS lasers generate high internal heat that is difficult to extract. This puts a limit on the available laser power as well as on the laser’s potential uptime.

  • Are CO2 lasers adapted to industrial laser marking?

    Due to their optical configuration, CO2 lasers are sensitive to mechanical vibrations, which can cause them to become misaligned. This makes CO2 lasers harder to automate for many applications.

    In terms of maintenance, CO2 lasers require frequent optical realignments. Some of their components (mirrors, lenses, and windows) degrade with use and need to be replaced.
