Laser marking has become an indispensable part of many industries. The technology makes it possible to create permanent, high-precision markings on a wide range of materials - from metals and plastics to organic materials. Thanks to contactless processing, laser marking is not only particularly gentle on the material but can also be flexibly adapted to different shapes and sizes. These advantages make it the ideal choice for applications where precision, durability, and flexibility are required.

Modern laser markers must meet the high demands of industrial applications without compromising on efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The following challenges illustrate the complex requirements that need to be met when developing high-performance laser marking solutions.

Precision and dynamics for maximum productivity

The demands placed on modern marking systems are high. In addition to the dynamic requirements, especially the marking quality must meet high standards. This is particularly important in critical areas such as medical technology. Here, even the smallest data matrix and QR codes must be perfectly legible.

For these applications, RAYLASE relies on beam deflection units that have been specially developed for marking applications. With the MINISCAN III series and the SUPERSCAN IIE, we offer proven solutions for demanding marking tasks.

Variety of materials and adaptability in labeling processes

As laser marking is used on a wide variety of materials, the systems must be able to be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements. Different materials - from metals and plastics to organic materials - have different absorption properties. This necessitates flexible selection of the wavelength and precise control of the laser pulses.

RAYLASE offers suitable mirrors and optics for all common applications. As a result, the optimum processing wavelength can be selected for marking. In addition, the SP-ICE-3 control card allows very precise control of the laser, enabling an accurate adjustment of the marking result on the component.

High reliability paired with attractive investment costs

Laser markers compete with other marking technologies and must, therefore, remain affordable. This concerns both the acquisition costs and the operating costs. Only in this way can they be competitive with other technologies. However, low downtimes or fewer rejects can quickly compensate for possible additional acquisition costs.

RAYLASE deflection units offer a very good balance between quality and acquisition costs. In addition, the user-friendly RAYGUIDE application software makes it possible to develop a laser marker without having to invest in software development yourself. 

Laser marking can be applied in a wide variety of industries. The following application examples illustrate the range and performance of laser marking and show the wide variety of requirements that can be met efficiently.
