Laser Markers

Laser marking metal is an extremely common direct part marking method for metal. It is quick, reliable, and permanent and does not require a running consumable cost. There are a couple different methods of marking metal, such as black-annealed marking, which is where the laser causes oxidation; white marking, where the laser is used to quickly melt the target surface; and engraving, where the laser is used to carve deep into the target surface. Each method is used for a specific purpose or for a specific type of metal.

Laser marking machines are a popular choice for engraving and marking products with logos, text, and even barcodes. These machines are designed to provide precision results on various materials, including metals. Selecting a suitable laser marking machine for metals can make an impactful difference in the success of your project.

Depending on the type of material you are using, such as aluminium, stainless steel, iron, cemented carbide, copper, or other metal composites, there are different processes and techniques that you need to consider to achieve the desired finish. From ceramic-filled etching to deep engravings, assessing what features your laser marking machine needs before purchasing one is critical.
