Marking & Labeling
Create permanent metal markings with fine detail. Futonics thulium fiber lasers offer high beam quality and controlled energy delivery for annealing, engraving and surface structuring matched to your material and marking requirements.
Discuss your applicationLaser marking applies serial numbers, product data, logos, text and machine-readable codes directly to the metal surface without labels or mechanical tools.
Depending on the material and process, marking can be produced by annealing, engraving or surface structuring.
High beam quality and controlled energy delivery support fine details, high readability and repeatable marking on aluminum, stainless steel, steel, alloys and coated metals.
For suitable metals, controlled heating can create a dark oxide layer with little material removal; deeper engraving can be used when a recessed marking is required.
Our lasers can mark aluminum, stainless steel, steel, metal alloys and coated surfaces. Copper, brass, silver and gold can also be marked or engraved with suitable process parameters. We match the marking process to the alloy, surface and desired result.
A coating can change the required interaction and the resulting appearance. The video shows a serial number engraved on anodized aluminum for an F-TO 175/2000 optic: a practical example of permanent identification on a finished component.
For suitable metals, especially stainless steel, controlled heating forms a dark oxide layer without substantial material removal. This annealing mark differs from engraving, which removes material to produce a recessed feature. The choice follows the required contrast, marking depth and surface result.
Permanent identification supports traceability and quality assurance in electronics, mechanical engineering, toolmaking, automotive and aerospace production. Codes, nameplates and functional tool markings must remain readable in their intended use, so material, surface condition and processing speed belong in the evaluation alongside the marking pattern.
Suitability depends on material, alloy, coating, desired contrast or depth, processing speed and geometry. Futonics supports application evaluation and selection of a suitable laser module.
