Barcodes & Serial Numbers
Laser Marking Products & Electronic Components Marking
Line and 2D codes, like serial numbers, are currently being used in most industries (automotive industry, medical industry, electronics industry) to make products and individual parts easily traceable. These codes – mostly data matrix or bar codes – contain information regarding the properties of the parts, production data and batch numbers, depending on the product. This type on marking needs to be legible in a simple and electronic manner for barcode readers, as well as tough and durable. Laser marking is a flexible and universal tool for various materials, shapes and sizes, as well as for processing dynamic and constantly changing data. Items are laser-marked at very high speeds with absolute precision and minimal wear.
Suitable Materials for Laser Processing:
Metal engraving components, parts or products:
- Stainless Steel
- Alloyed steels
- Aluminium
- Anodized Aluminium
- Titanium
- Titanium alloys
- Brass
- Copper
- Coated Metals
Plastics Marking:
- PA, PC, PE, PET, PMMA
- Silicone
Depending on your requirements, metals and plastics can be either laser marked, or laser engraved.

Application Examples for Laser Marking Bar Codes & Serial Numbers
Part labelling based on specifications:
Part-design in creative industries is usually simple. However, codes and serial numbers usually need to be applied to a product in accordance with customer specification as well as legal requirements.
Marking the parts will not increase profit, so it needs to be as cost-efficient as possible. Laser etching equipment is not only inexpensive from a long-term perspective, but it offers unbeatable advantages. There are no setup costs, no need for expensive preparatory work and it’s quick! The cost stays low and production remains fast.
“What is the point of buying a laser for marking parts?”
Automatic code and serial number generation with ERP connection.
With Trotec marking lasers, you can label your parts precisely and perfectly every time. The laser systems are known for their high service-life and durability. The included SpeedMark software can communicate with external systems like databases and ERP systems, enabling continuous code generation. No prior knowledge is necessary, except for a quick training session by our friendly Trotec team. Marking your products and components has never been so easy.
