The Industrial ID Spectrum
Laser Marking in Your Industry
Aerospace
For aerospace part manufacturers, having a good traceability system is key to quality control. Using a laser marking machine for metal will guarantee that these markings are permanent, remaining legible and readable even under extreme temperatures and pressure. With the help of a laser etching machine, organizations can make sure their aerospace materials can be traced and identified permanently.
Automotive
The auto sector is another area that leverages laser engraving for traceability. Each vehicle - from automobiles to buses, motorcycles and agricultural or construction machinery – must have its unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it goes out of the factory. The VIN, which contains seventeen characters, is normally inscribed at multiple points on the vehicle such as the chassis or the engines. Additionally, automakers often mark their own marks onto parts as part of their own tracking system or for brand communication purposes.
Battery Technology
Laser marking is perfect for applications demanding a detailed, robust and fast marking. The non-contact process ensures the materials it is used on remain undamaged. Furthermore, being resistant to external factors, laser marking is an ideal choice for labelling battery components. Additionally, with low maintenance cost and high production yield, it is a viable option for industrial production.
Defence
Laser marking is a top choice for the defense industry, offering a reliable and secure identification method. It can be used to etch serial numbers and other information on parts and components, ensuring complete traceability and accuracy. With its high precision, laser marking withstands fading or abrasion, making certain that military assets maintain their distinct uniqueness. Laser marking is fast, efficient, and compatible with a variety of materials, including metal, glass, plastic, and ceramic.
Engineering
Laser marking has seen a substantial rise in demand within the engineering sector, and in some instances, it is a compulsory process for various industrial applications, including aerospace, medicine, automotive, and the military. In these industries, it is crucial to permanently and accurately mark assets with precise identification for proper regulation and tracking throughout their life cycle.
Energy
The energy industry uses laser marking technology because it offers several advantages. First, it is a permanent form of marking, as the laser marks are highly resistant to abrasion and extreme temperatures. As a result, important safety instructions and other messages can be marked on tools and other objects without fear of them fading over time. Second, laser marking allows for intricate designs and logos, making it easy to identify a particular piece of equipment without compromising on quality.
Medical
Laser marking has proven to be a great solution for the medical industry due to its versatility and capabilities. It is highly efficient, only requiring minimal maintenance, resulting in minimum waste production. The non-contact process protects delicate items from any damage whilst providing fast and precise markings with flexible design options. Most importantly it is cost-effective and creates permanent, tamper-proof labels for medical instruments or components.
Oil & Gas Industry
The oil and gas industry regularly uses laser engravers to help with various operations, from crafting complex components with high levels of accuracy, to labelling parts for correct identification and branding products. The laser engraving process is capable of creating very small, efficient designs with exceptional precision. Plus, the etching is permanent, so companies can track serial numbers without them disappearing. This technology provides speedy turnaround times and is a clean, green way to produce results in the fast-paced industry of today.
PCB & Electronics
Laser etching is the go-to choice for fast and accurate custom PCB manufacturing. Its other capabilities include marking electrical components with important information such as barcodes, part numbers, 2D and UID codes, QR codes, serial numbers, batch numbers, logos and business info – all of which help to improve traceability and product identification in warranty claims; as well as protecting trademarks.
Cosmetics
To stay competitive in the cosmetics industry, brands must constantly innovate in product and packaging design. However, implementing these changes sustainably and safely can be a challenge for manufacturers and retailers. Laser marking technology provides a solution by enabling a permanent and personalised mark to be safely applied to primary or secondary packaging, making each product unique for the end user. This approach allows brands to continue to innovate while also prioritizing safety and sustainability.
Gifts
Laser marking is gaining popularity in the gifts industry for its precise and permanent marking capabilities. Compared to traditional methods, it offers benefits such as the ability to mark intricate designs and items of any size or shape. Laser marking is also a faster and cost-effective option, making it ideal for businesses looking to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. With these advantages, laser marking is becoming the preferred choice for permanent marking in the gifts industry.
Homewares
From shower taps to light fittings, laser engraving provides a long-lasting personalisation option that adds an attractive and appealing touch to any home decor. With its versatility and precision, laser engraving technology is transforming homeware personalisation, making it a popular choice for those looking to add a unique touch to their homes, and create personalised items that reflect individual style.
Jewellery
Laser engraving has transformed the jewellery industry with its precision and accuracy, making it possible to create intricate designs and patterns in a matter of minutes.
