The Best Machines For Laser Marking On Metal

Luckily for us, we are living at a time of wide technological opportunities. Leaving behind the former unreliable stickers or labels, laser part marking machines can create highly permanent alphanumeric codes, part or manufacturer identification, or almost any type of information directly on a part. Moreover, the precise and high-quality signs made by these machines made us want more and engrave sophisticated graphics with logos, barcodes, and custom state-of-the-art imprinting.

Laser Marking Metal

If we are focusing on metallic surfaces, laser engraving is even more favored. Metal parts are one of the most common to engrave as the material is used in many industries. In some industries, part stamping has become a case of community or state regulation and standards.

The industrial environment also states its demands on metal laser marking machines: the high speed, flexibility in fulfilling different needs, and resistance to industrial conditions like dust or further exposure to heat or chemicals. Yet for smaller businesses, the portable version of the equipment can appear more suitable.

The total use of this technology for versatile needs has driven the development of several marking techniques. The choice includes engraving laser and fiber laser marking.

Fiber Adds Value

HeatSign’s Fiber Laser Systems employ one of the newest and the most prominent technology. In this method, the powerful beam is brought directly to the focusing tool with the help of an optical fiber cable. As a result, the engraving process offers many benefits to the part manufacturer:

• The perfect match for uncoated metals
• Highly readable engraving even on the smallest piece
• Can be smoothly integrated into a product line
• Easy-to-use, both the equipment and the software
• The portable device is available

With fiber laser equipment, the effort on creating state-of-the-art designs on metal is likewise to that needed for simple printing.

Engraving for Deeper Signs

Laser engraving machine for metal exploits the same general principles as the above-named units, but the signs engraved on the material are more distinguishable. The beam evaporates the upper layers of the surface leaving deep and clear signs. Metal engraving is also known as etching or ablation.

These machines work quickly and can handle almost any kind of metal. The signs are perceptible by sight and touch, look very beautiful on the product, and thus are highly suggested for personalization or custom marking.

HeatSign’s Fiber Laser Marking Machine (HS-FL30 30W) provides engraving technology for high-speed processing of copper, stainless steel, rare and coated metals, and many other types. It will also help with an engraving of various non-metal surfaces, bringing extra benefit when imprinting versatile materials at single manufacture.

The special aspects of this machine are the innovative air cooling system, steady 30W power output, and incredibly prolonged lifecycle. For you this means:

• High-quality engravings (the depth ≤0.3mm)
• No overheating of the machine
• Energy saving
• Smooth processes of installing and operation

Metal Marking Machine Price

Although the laser marking machine cost may appear higher than the cost of some other technologies, it is not quite so as the total investment also includes consumables, power use, and maintaining costs. For laser marking machines the latter are very low or at all inapplicable. This means with such technology you only spend on the first implementation of equipment when with other devices your investment level will keep rising during the whole machine operating time.

Another pricing benefit of a laser is its ability to work with various materials. For example, if you are wondering about steel marking machine price, but your manufacture also needs to signify plastic parts, you will be glad to know you can fulfill your both needs with only one machine and thus pay once instead of twice.

Which Technology Goes Best for Metal?

Laser marking is the name of the common technology of using a beam to mark parts. Fiber laser provides improved quality together with energy-saving and other economical benefits for the user. To engrave metal, the laser actually removes some of the material.

Engravings are preferred for parts with high demands to part design and sign clarity as well as to the part’s wear resistance. By choosing HeatSign’s systems, you can get high-quality engraving solutions.
