Laser Marking Applications-SOLUTION

Laser marking works by using a focused beam of light to mark the surface of a material. When the beam interacts with the material’s surface, it alters the material’s properties and appearance. This concentrated beam targets only a specified area, allowing the laser marking machine to create precise, high quality, high-contrast marks that are easy to read or scan on virtually any surface. This feature makes laser marking ideal for applications where accuracy and permanency are critical to success.

There are several types of laser marking systems, and each operates slightly differently. The correct process to use the machine also depends on the material you’re working with and the application you’re using. MECCO offers a list of resources to help you operate your machine and troubleshoot any issues, from how-to videos to detailed documentation.

When using any laser marking machine, it’s important to follow all safety guidelines. Thanks to a variety of preventative measures, including Class I laser marking workstations, laser marking is a relatively safe process.

The Benefits of Using a Laser Marker

 

Manufacturers can gain many benefits from the laser marking process, whether it is basic part identification and branding or complete traceability to track and trace parts from cradle to grave. Direct part marking with a laser marking machine delivers durable, readable marks. The results of these high quality marks include:

● Greater operational efficiency and productivity with less waste and downtime

● More visibility and accountability throughout the supply chain

● Minimized costly threats such as quality and counterfeiting issues

● Ensured compliance with industry regulations.
