METALS

Laser marking on metals

Metal is the material on which the laser works best . All types of metal can be marked. Laser engraving and marking on metals guarantees a precise and clean result.

On an industrial scale, there is no technology more efficient than laser. Laser marking is a contactless process that requires no intervention and optimizes production times.

Laser metal markers ensure that the metal component is not damaged and the result is also resistant to acids and other corrosive chemicals.

Steel is a versatile and durable material. Essentially made of iron, there are thousands of different types of steel, each produced to perform specific tasks under very specific conditions. It is used in the construction and automotive industries, as well as by food can manufacturers and appliance manufacturers.

The best metal laser markers

Aluminum is a strong, lightweight material that 's easy to combine with other materials and is resistant to heat and corrosion. It can be combined with other metals like copper to create something durable and suitable for airplane or automotive parts . Combined with magnesium , it makes a good material for food packaging and is perfect for molding and sealing packages. Aluminum's adaptability makes it useful for many industries, from packaging to heavy industry. The MOPA laser is particularly effective for high-contrast marking because it only changes the color of the steel, without removing any material. Metal laser markers like the CO2 Laser and Fiber Laser can be used for engraving and high -contrast marking on anodized aluminum, respectively.

In conclusion, the most suitable laser technology for laser marking metals is the fiber laser. It is also suitable for painted metals and metals with surface treatments such as anodized aluminum. The fiber laser is used in both its standard and MOPA versions , which offer significant advantages in terms of versatility and marking quality. With the MOPA Fiber laser, it is also possible to mark in color.
