Laser Marking Aluminium
Laser marking and laser engraving of aluminium
Our Nd:YAG and CO2 laser system roughen the aluminium’s surface, so that the light is reflected white and contrasty. Even previously applied layers of lacquer or electrolytic oxidized aluminium can be removed precisely.
If you are looking for a service provider to rely on at all times, you have come to the right place. We will be pleased to process your request.
Decorative or functional laser markings – everything is possible
Laser marking of aluminium – the key facts at a glance
Laser marking or laser inscribing with a conventional Nd:YAG laser always results in a strong contrast when the material has been anodized beforehand. In the marked area, the anodized layer is removed and the roughened base material contrasts to the surrounding electrolytic oxidized aluminium. Laser engraving not only processes the material’s surface but also generates topology by removing material, which can be used for giving injection molds a signature. In comparison to conventional mechanical engraving, this procedure is much faster. We are able to read and process virtually all data formats, all the way to database imports for individualized inscriptions.
Our know-how includes product identification of technical components, serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes, data matrix codes, signets, decorative fonts, company logos in all variations, and much more.
Besides laser marking, there are various other processing options to choose from, such as the preparation of bonding surfaces, which optimizes adhesive strength due to the increased surface area.
