Why Fiber Laser Marking Systems are Best


Fiber Laser Marking Systems are a fast and clean technology that are rapidly replacing older laser technologies. Direct laser marking and engraving has now become a common process in many industries. It offers a non-contact, abrasion-resistant, permanent laser mark onto almost any type of material including gold, platinum, silver, brass, stainless steel, carbide, copper, titanium, aluminum as well as a wide variety of alloys and plastics.

Fiber Lasers are a great tool for dentification text, serial numbers, corporate logos, 2-D data matrix, bar coding, graphic and digital images, or any individual process data can be produced with laser engraving.

Below is a short list of reasons why Fiber Lasers are the best type of laser for your business.


  • Fiber laser marking is both a reliable marking system, and a system that is environmentally friendly

  • Fiber laser marking is an excellent choice for use on a wide variety of materials and provides high-quality permanent laser marks

  • Fiber laser marking can be used on most metals, stainless steel, titanium, ceramics, and plastics

  • Fiber laser marking can be very cost-effective

  • Fiber laser marking is extremely durable and long lasting

  • Fiber laser marking is resistant to high temperatures; such as the sterilization process for medical and surgical devices

  • Fiber laser marking is a safe process, with no inks, acids, or solvents

  • Fiber laser marking systems are software driven, enabling thousands of characters to be marked in a very short time

  • Fiber laser marking generates sharp, detailed and high-quality images equal to the resolution of a printer set at 600 dpi or greater. The quality is the same for logos, images, text, or codes that must be machine-readable

  • Fiber laser marking creates heat that is precisely targeted and does little to compromise the structural integrity of the material within or around the laser mark

The possibilities for utilizing fiber laser marking are almost endless. Any graphic, image or text that can be created on a computer can be laser marked or laser engraved using these systems. Metal and many non-metal materials can be laser engraved; all sizes, shapes, and contours. Specialized software is an important consideration in getting the most from your fiber laser marking system. Laser marking is an exciting combination of science and art and you will want state-of-the-art software that allows the use of bitmap images, vector graphics and drawings, among other features.
