Laser metal marking by Lasit
Laser markers provide high-contrast and high-speed processing on the surfaces of any metals, including components that have undergone post-production or invasive processing. This is called DPM (direct part marking), which is applied directly to parts, replacing labels or plates.
Over ten years ago, the fiber laser became a true revolution in the world of laser marking. The fiber laser is more durable and efficient than the diode laser, with an expected lifespan of 100,000 marking hours. This laser is most commonly used in industrial production and achieves optimal results in 90% of cases
when marking metal.
Additionally, compared to other stamping and engraving technologies, laser marking is the most widespread in the industrial sector. The table below shows that laser marking has proven to be the most effective compared to other technologies.

We recommend conducting marking tests in LASIT laboratories if you plan to mark special metal components, such as processed parts or parts requiring further processing. In the laboratory, we can verify the marking cycle time and the quality of the applied codes in terms of their readability. Additionally, upon request, we can check the depth of marking and laser engraving on the part.
