The automotive industry, with its stringent quality and reliability requirements, comes with specific scribing and marking needs.
Steel, plastics, light alloys, natural fibers, composite materials – assembling a modern car requires the use of thousands of parts made of different materials. And most of the parts require mandatory marking to fulfill Identification and Traceability and quality assurance requirements.
The main aspect of automobile marking is the need for parts to outlast a car’s lifecycle, withstanding exposure to dust, water, oil, fuel and high temperatures.
This is where HeatSign laser marking comes into the picture.
