Outstanding mark durability. Laser marking is the most permanent part mark available because the markings are actually etched into the base material. They are impervious to solvents or environmental conditions from engine fuel to autoclave, laser marking is there to stay.

Eliminates consumables and required maintenance. There are no inks, drying or cure time, no smeared images, and best of all, no ink expense, no messy set-ups and no equipment cleaning or hazardous fluids.

Non-contact. The only part contact is the light energy itself. This means it is ideal for precision or delicate parts, requires virtually no fixturing and can reach into deep cavities if needed.

Flexibility. Laser marking is totally programmable. You can actually communicate real time date, time or other information making each individual mark unique to each specific part. Bar codes, 2D matrix marking and even photographs are all options offered with our flexible marking systems.
