Laser Engraving and Surface Marking

Microfinish’s high powered YAG laser systems have the capability and flexibility to meet most laser marking and engraving requirements. The computerized systems provide crisp & clear permanent laser marks on most metals for identification, logos, or product serialization. Laser marking provides a much higher quality mark normally found from silk screening, pad printing, mechanical engraving or chemical etching.

With the high power YAG capability Microfinish can also provide very precise and highly detailed deep engraving in all metals and graphite electrode material. Any text or highly detailed vector graphic can be precisely machined to depths exceeding .050”. The general engraving depth requirements of the plastic injection mold industry of .001 to .020” can easily be reached in all currently used tool steels and alloys. Laser engraving also provides straight vertical sidewalls and square/sharp corners not found in conventional machining resulting in a much sharper and easier to read molded part.


Detailed Engraving on Tool Insert

This plastic injection mold insert shows the extreme versatility of laser engraving.

This insert has two company logos, material recycle code, multi-year date code box, part number and cavity ID number on an area about 2” in diameter.

 

1.5” x 3” Insert with Extensive Text

This .030” high text was laser engraved .010” deep. The extensive amount of text on such a small insert highlights the quality only possible with laser engraving. The engraving provided the customer with warning information, instructions, safety & use certifications, and company information. Due to the remarkable detail provided by the laser, this small text was very readable in the molded plastic.

Polished & Engraved SS Blowmold Insert

This insert was roughed-in, the logo laser engraved, and then the tool finished polished to an A2 finish. The engraving depth on the logo was .030” deep.

 

Extremely Deep Engraving - .050”

This unusual laser application shows more of the diversity of the laser systems. The company logo and text were engraved to a depth of .050” while maintaining straight sidewalls and extremely sharp and detailed corners.

Marking Through Anodized Coating

This light power laser marking application results in the removal of the bright anodized coating bearing the aluminum parent material. This provides a high contrast surface mark without engraving into the material.

 

Medical Component Marking

Hip component showing an example of the detailed laser marking. Almost any size text, logo, or serialization can be permanently marked on most medical components as required.
