Benefits Of Our Laser Marking Machines For Production Lines

Laser head and material marked icon

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.

Refurbishing tools icon

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.

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.

Quality control icon

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 Direct Part Marking on Aluminum Die Casting

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 a Curved Steel Pipe

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 on Stainless Steel with Fiber Laser

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.

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.

What are the benefits of UV laser marking?

The most significant advantages of UV lasers for marking applications are:  

  • Cold marking technology: UV lasers can successfully achieve damage-free marking on many materials without requiring high average powers.  
  • High precision: Our UV laser marking solutions can achieve fine details with spot sizes as small as 7 µm and can even mark on the fly (MOTF).
  • Versatile material compatibility: Our UV laser marking solutions can ablate and engrave a broad range of materials, including wires, metals, sapphire, glass, diamond, polyamides, PCBs, coatings, silicon wafers, ceramics, plastics, fiber, paper and polyimides.
  • Permanent & high-contrast marks: UV laser markers can ensure consistent readability for barcodes, serial numbers, logos, and text.
  • Fast & consumable-free: Like fiber laser marking, UV laser marking is a fast, contact-free process that does not require consumables like ink or chemicals.  

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.
