Get to know Fiber Laser Marking in the Metal Marking Process

Fiber laser marking technology has recently improved to become one of the most sought-after direct part marking technologies worldwide. With power levels ranging from 20-50 watts, fiber laser marking machines are some of the most powerful laser marking machines on the market

These machines are ideal for etching or deep engraving, with great results on harder metals or when one needs a high-powered system with a smaller dot size to achieve high resolution. The high beam quality and small spot size with a larger lens allow the fiber laser to be used for marking applications for small batches of parts or very thin metal cutting.

Fiber Laser Marking Applications

There are several ways to use fiber laser marking, including:

1. Color Marking
   This is a type of marking that is done to produce different hues of a material by varying the speed, power, frequency and pulse width. The best results in color marking are achieved on stainless steel and aluminum, especially if they have a mopa fiber laser marker.

2. Carbonizing
   Carbonization is the breaking down of carbon bonds to create shadows in darker marked areas without affecting the surface of the material. It is mostly used for lightweight plastics and organic materials.

3. Foaming
   Involves a type of treatment that makes the targeted area lighter than the rest of the process

4. Annealing
   It is the hardening of metal surfaces using a laser that also allows different types of colors to be produced in what is known as color laser marking. Various shades of green, red and yellow can be achieved in this process with various materials.

5. Night and Day Marking
   Fiber laser marking technology can be used to provide marks that are easy to read during the day and illuminated at night. This can be useful for applications such as use on dashboards, reflectors, license plates, watches, health and safety, and door signs.
