Description of Laser Marking Process:
Laser marking is used as a way of permanently marking a physical item for tracking, either for security or quality control reasons. Rather than using a vibrating or rotating tool to engrave a mark on the item, a high-powered laser is used. Laser marking is performed after many metal finishing processes, including anodizing.
While most forms of engraving result in a loss of some of the marked material when it is etched away, laser marking results in essentially NO LOSS of material. Instead, the laser is used to create a shift in the color of the material, creating a visible, virtually indestructible mark with minimal real impact to the item.
Anodized parts can be laser marked, and the process is used on everything from identification badges to complimentary pens. Given its indelible nature, laser marking is an ideal choice for bar codes and other forms of inconspicuous tracking.
An added benefit of laser marking is environmental: with no inks or solvents used, the impact is very minimal. As costs lower, this factor becomes a decisive one for many environmentally conscious companies and individuals.
Laser marking can be used on all sorts of substrates including anodized parts, electro polished stainless steel parts, plastic, metal and fiberglass. In addition to bar codes and other tracking info, many companies use laser marking to add their logo to parts or products. An added benefit is that the markings can be applied in difficult to reach areas; all that is required is a direct line-of-sight for the laser beam.
