Material To Mark

Laser technology offers various methods for permanent marking and thus can be used in more diverse applications than conventional lettering and labeling methods. Whether metals, plastics, wood, or ceramics, nearly any material can be lettered, marked, or engraved permanently with a laser, and there are many laser marking systems that can be used to create durable engravings.

Alphanumeric characters, graphics, logos, bar codes, etc. can be applied to components using laser marking machines. Accordingly, laser lettering systems are used widely in the production of consumer goods and industrial products as well as in the automobile industry, machinery and plant assembly, and even for tool manufacturing. As laser technology has advanced, laser markers have become more precise and useful for an increasing number of professional applications.

Our laser marking machines can mark a variety of materials. Below are a few examples of the various materials and substrates we can laser mark.

Metals

The metal laser marking services result in permanent and high-precision marks on a variety of metals. Our professional marking gives the marks the ability to withstand all temperatures and the harshest of environments.

Plastics

Laser marking of polymers relies on carbonization or foaming processes caused by laser beam absorption.

Semiconductors

Semiconductor manufacturing processes call for fast and precisely controllable marking solutions. Marking speeds of over 1000 characters/second and material penetration depths of less than 25 µm/1 mil are common.

LED
LEDs are expected to develop to one of the predominant light sources over the coming decades. They are already used for backlighting of flat panel televisions, mobile phones and the interior lighting of modern cars. Laser marking is an essential step in manufacturing the required LEDs.
