Laser Solutions For The Metals Industry

Over the last few years, part producers downstream in the supply chain have asked metal smelters to significantly improve their traceability capabilities. To address this issue, Laserax offers inline laser marking solutions and OEM systems that are safe, efficient and low in maintenance—specially designed for one of the world’s most challenging environments. We take great pride in being the world leader in marking solutions for smelting plants.

To mark DMCs, barcodes, alphanumerical characters or logos on metals, the best results are obtained with the LXQ fiber laser. Those lasers are specialized at marking non-ferrous metals like aluminum, zinc, lead, and magnesium as well as various steel alloys.

Laser Marking of Aluminum Ingots Moving on a Conveyor

On-the-fly Laser Marking

Our turnkey machines and OEM systems can be used to perform “on-the-fly” marking where parts are marked as they move on a conveyor. This allows you to integrate laser marking into your production line without slowing down operations.

Static Laser Marking

A marking station can be installed where parts are stopped for weighting, stacking or unmolding so that laser marking is performed in hidden time while waiting for another operation.

Laser Cleaning To Remove Oxides

Laser cleaning offers possibilities that were previously nonexistent. One of them is oxide removal, which is a highly sought-after process by metal smelters. Whereas abrasive blasting methods tend to remove too much material, laser oxide removal leaves the base material completely intact, minimizing material loss. For expensive alloys, this results in a huge return on investment. Other laser cleaning applications include laser paint removal and laser rust removal.
