Laser Part Marking
Laser Part Marking
Laser marking is a precise and permanent method of labeling metal parts and other products. In laser part marking, a precise laser beam moves in a controlled path to create alphanumeric characters, a design or pattern.
This method of marking provides durable product identification that is becoming a more common requirement for many different categories of products. Most part marking is used for traceability to meet safety, inventory control, or other requirements related to regulatory mandates.
Xact offers laser marking for any parts that need identification. Our laser marking services are commonly used to produce bar codes, QR codes, logos, serial numbers, patent numbers, date codes, and more, such as arrows and other symbols on in-house tooling and fixturing. Graphics can also be created.
Laser marking is frequently used on stainless steel, titanium, and hardened tool steels. It works equally well on a wide range of materials. We offer laser marking services for all types of metals, carbide, and anodized materials.
Benefits of Laser Marking
Laser marking allows even exceedingly small parts or delicate parts to be directly marked, and laser markings will not be damaged by acid, abrasion or heat.
More advantages include:
- High-quality high-resolution markings with consistent repeatability
- Can be used to mark curved or irregularly shaped surfaces
- Markings are easily distinguishable for human or machine reading
- Excellent durability – laser marking can even be done at the start of production
- Laser markings do not alter surface tolerance of material
- Environmentally friendly – no toxic byproducts
- Non-contact marking technique
- No contamination from inks or solvents
- Extremely fast
- Costs less than conventional engraving or stamping
Industrial Laser Engraving Machines
Xact invested in laser marking equipment starting in 2005. Doing our own laser marking in-house speeds turnaround and improves accuracy in marking part numbers or lot numbers as parts are produced.
Our laser marking equipment lineup:
- 1 Zetalase fiber laser marking machine with Rotary Device for 360° marking
- 1 Minilase XL20
- 1 GT Schmidt Microlase laser marking machine
We can accommodate a wide variety of sizes & shapes, but we are limited to a certain size part. Please contact us to discuss your project.
