(Last Updated On: November 28, 2018)

Laser etching and engraving is an important aspect of modern production and manufacturing, allowing professionals to create customized product signatures that give them a competitive edge. When it comes to laser marking machines, HeatSign is dedicated to providing high quality, state-of-the-art machines that help businesses grow and flourish. A key aspect to knowing the advantages of laser marking machines is understanding how they work. Here is a brief overview of how these machines work and the ways in which your business can grow and flourish, thanks to the services they provide.

Laser marking technology has been around for decades and is used in a number of ways by people every single day. From deep, permanent serial number marks to beautiful, custom designs, HeatSign’s laser technology can make the marks you need without compromising the strength and integrity of your products. The secret lies in our fiber laser technology, which uses state-of-the-art engineering for a cost effective and precise laser mark.

Fiber lasers use a series of electric -laser light convert parts to focus light into a powerful laser. It starts with a powerful light, The laser serves to focus the light down into a fine point that can be less than a millimeter wide, depending on the machine. The focusing also helps to control the depth at which the mark is created, so that you can mark even delicate products with something that’s permanent but not damaging to whatever you’re marking.

HeatSign’s machines can come with their own software that’s developed specifically for our machines, which gives you greater control and more options over your marking. By using our software, you can make our already accurate machines even more precise, controlling the depth, width, and extent to which you mark. This is especially good for instances where specific marks are vital to the engraving process, such as with metal tools, jewelry or other customized work. With full control over multiple metrics, you can create specially-designed marks that you make yourself. Then, those engravings can be created on nearly any surface for a permanent, lasting engraving that’s perfect every time.

Thanks to advances in recent laser technology, laser marking machines are no longer massive machines. Today, they can come in portable technology to allow for more versatility. Prior to portable technology, materials that needed marked had to be brought to the machine, which limited the kinds of products that could be marked. Now, portable technology can be used so that even large, cumbersome products can be marked with precise and powerful lasers. This not only opens up a whole new market for laser engraving, but it makes laser marking easier. The machines themselves take up less space as well, meaning they can be easily stored anywhere from a special locker to a desktop.

With fiber laser marking machines, your company can quickly and accurately mark the markings you need for almost any purpose you can imagine. Some of the different ways that companies use our products include:

-Custom jewelry engraving to make beautiful pieces more personal and more sentimental.

-iPhone and electronic engravings that put custom designs on delicate devices without compromising their functionality.

-Serial number marking for manufacturing, so you can create a more reliable inventory.

-Custom and clean marking on medical equipment, which makes sterilization easier and more effective.

-Laser cutting for jewelry, allowing precise and accurate cuts of soft metals for more elaborate and specialized jewelry design.

-Chemical-free engraving that’s more accurate and more cost effective, since everything you need is in the single HeatSign machine.

Whatever your business’ needs, laser marking machines from HeatSign use the latest technology to make intense, high quality lasers that balance power and precision. The result is a way for companies to make custom engravings that help prevent forgery, put a custom stamp on their products, and help keep detailed inventories of what’s being made, for who, and how. If your company wants to do its custom engraving and marking in-house, a laser marking machine from Heat Sign will give you the edge you need.
