Laser Marking and Engraving Capabilities
Shallow engraving – Even though the marks are <0.010 deep, the results are durable and permanent. Shallow laser engraving is often used for applications where the end product will be sensitive to environmental conditions such as physical abrasion, temperature, and pressure.
Deep engraving – Depths >0.010 create an extremely durable mark that is often used for engraving steel molds.
Carbonization/Foaming- by oxidizing the carbon on materials such as plastic or aluminum laser carbonization creates a high contrast, raised mark.
Why you should opt for Laser Marking
In addition to providing easily repeatable marks, our laser engraving system can be programmed to make a variety of marks such as
- 1D/2D barcodes
- GS1/GTIN/UDI Global Standard Codes
- Logos
- Alpha-numeric codes
- Control panels and button information
- Nameplates
These laser engraved codes can then be used for
- Tracking
- Branding
- Identification
Even though laser marks are applied to the surface, the beam does not damage the surface. Marks are permanent and extremely difficult to obliterate. Since the marks autoclave without damage, they work well for marking medical, dental, and research tools.
Laser marking can also be used for creating mold inserts used in both metal and plastic fabrication.
