The Only Choice for Engraving Metal – MOPA Fiber Laser

Laser Etching Metal

For manufacturers of car parts, aerospace, engineering and more; a traceability system is critical to quality monitoring. The use of a laser etching machine for metal parts ensures that these marks are permanent, resistant to a lot of friction and heat and will remain long into the future.

Personalised Laser Etching

In addition to engineering parts and tools, laser etching machines are used for metal promotional gifts, jewellery, and branding. Personalised items made of metal often include bottles, lighters, shavers, cutlery, picture frames, key fobs, and much more. Laser engraving provides versatility and accuracy when portraying a personalised result.

Metal Engraving Laser Uses

Aside from components, a fibre laser machine can be used to make legible marks on common engineering tools such as callipers, spanners and drill bits. Some of these parts require a high level of accuracy, making a metal engraving laser a particularly suitable technology for marking characters that are still legible at 1-point size. With measuring tools, the precision and accuracy of the markings are critical. The automated aspect of a laser etching machine delivers superior repeatability and consistency, ensuring that measuring tools are marked and positioned perfectly.

Metal Type Suitability

The types of metals that a laser engraver can be used on are as varied as its applications. Make resilient marks on stainless steel, soft metals, hardened metals, alloys, titanium, brass, copper, carbides, high-speed steels, aluminium, anodised metals, coated metals, and precious metals such as silver and gold. With the right equipment and experienced operator, switching over from one metal to another can be as simple as a couple of clicks.
