Engraving metal with a fiber laser

The right fiber laser engraving machine for laser marking and engraving metal

Fast and durable laser marking using modern MOPA technology on all metals and non-ferrous metals.

Metal engraving and tempering with fiber laser

Modernity MOPA fiber laser have the ability to process metal precisely, in a high-content and highly cost-efficient manner. engrave. With the rapid development of Fiber laser engraving machines engraving metal is becoming easier and of higher quality. But how exactly does laser engraving work and what advantages does this technology offer?

Can a fiber laser engrave any metal?

The short answer is yes. Fiber laser are particularly efficient at engraving various metals, including (but not limited to) stainless steel, steel, aluminum, copper, brass and many other alloys. The extremely high precision of GLT fiber laser engraving machines ensures that even the toughest metals can be engraved. Metals can be engraved or labeled clearly and with high contrast.

Why is engraving metal with a fiber laser so popular?

In many industries, from automotive manufacturing to jewelry design, engraving metal is an important step towards the finished product. Thanks to their wavelength of 1064 nm, fibre lasers make it possible to mark or individualize metal products or components quickly and with high contrast. Whether it is Serial numberscodes, QR codes, DataMatrix codes, brand logos or complex designs - a Laser engraving is usually the cleanest and most effective solution.

Difference between laser engraving and laser marking using a fiber laser

Laser marking on metal differs from laser marking on Laser engraving. While engraving often leaves deeper markings where material is also removed during the engraving process, laser marking often only creates superficial markings. Superficial laser markings are often referred to as annealing markings. Fiber lasers are also unbeatable here. They make it possible to create clear, permanent and legible Labeling on any metal.

What does "leave metal on" mean?

Tempering refers to a thermal process in which a fiber laser is used to create a discoloration on the metal surface without actually removing the material. This is particularly useful when Markings are required that do not penetrate the metal or no material removal is desired. Modern MOPA fiber lasers can precisely control this process thanks to their adjustable pulse width and thus generate different annealing colors.

Is a fiber laser the future of metal engraving?

Given the multitude of benefits and applications that fiber lasers offer, it looks like they will continue to dominate the world of metalworking. Their precision, speed and flexibility make them the first choice for anyone looking for the best way to engrave, mark or temper their products or components.
