A laser engraving machine for metal is an ideal way to efficiently and cost-effectively add identification markings to a wide range of metal components and products to assist in traceability and inventory management. If a part falls out of a bin, a sticker or tag falls off, or paperwork is lost or separated from a product, valuable time and money can be wasted accounting for that mystery part. A laser engraving machine for metal can engrave identification directly onto the component, reducing or eliminating the costs associated with unidentified parts.
A laser engraving machine for metal provides a number of benefits, including:
- Highly efficient removal of material to permanently create characters and images on metal surfaces
- No need to replace bits and inks and other consumables needed for mechanical transfers
- Greater flexibility in design and reproduction
- Remarkably consistent and reliable material removal compared to mechanical processes
A laser can remove material very efficiently because the laser beam can be designed to deliver energy to the surface in a manner which converts a high percentage of the light energy into heat. However, because of this efficiency, the equipment used in laser engraving machine for metal may heat up rather quickly, requiring sophisticated cooling systems for the laser. Alternatively, the laser beam may be pulsed to decrease the amount of excessive heating.
Excell Solutions provides a wide range of laser engraving machine for metal services that include artwork, logos, functional labels, a variety of fonts for text, and more. In fact, our in-house laser engraving machine for metal can eliminate the lead time needed for sending parts to an additional supplier, cutting the time to market and cost for new or replacement products and components.
