Benefits of Laser Marking

The advantages of opting for laser marking over other marking methods are significant. These advantages include:

Lasting Durability: Laser markings are as close to permanent as possible provided the surface area is not subject to extreme abrasions or incidents of that nature. Your unique identification markings need to last, marking with a laser marking system ensures that will happen.

Temperature Resistant: Other marking methods can fall prey to inclement heat, especially the kind often experienced by medical devices due to the frequent sterilization which they undergo. Laser markings are resistant to the heat fluctuations associated with sterilization procedures, ensuring your markings are always coherent.

Ease of Use: Thanks to the user-friendly software, laser marking has never been easier to perform. Learning the program can be done quickly and efficiently, you will be producing unique markings within minutes of using the software.

High Marking Quality: The level of detail which can be attained with laser markings is unrivaled. Images, text, logos and readable machine codes are made as detailed as possible with a clarity which is comparable to that of the best 600 dpi black and white printers available today.

Features include:

The ability to import your own preferred images to use as a template for your laser markings
Automatically generate date, time and shift codes to utilize in automated production settings
With over 100 True Type fonts to select from and countless images in conjunction with image import capability, you can literally generate a limitless amount of unique laser markings to perfectly fulfill your needs.

The benefits of computer aided design for laser marking and engraving procedures have never been more apparent. Utilizing these methods of marking will result in a unique, long lasting and highly detailed laser marking for virtually any and all equipment or parts.

With the process not requiring an actual "consumable" of sorts, the cost effectiveness of laser marking can not be overstated. Ensure you take advantage of the many benefits provided by laser marking. It is truly the most efficient way to meet the demands of all of your marking needs.
