Turning, drilling and milling tools are subject to significant stress. The markings on these precision tools should also be able to withstand these stresses. laser markings provide some decisive benefits over alternative methods, similar to etching or stamping:
Consistent quality and readability of the markings with absolute sturdiness, depending on the process selection without changing the workpiece properties Clean processing strategies without consumables Flexibility in several dimensions (marking content, element or tool shapes, material) Low value per marking for individual items or mass production
When labeling machining tools using a laser marking tool, it is notably vital that the tool's surface is not damaged. Here, the laser can fully execute its advantages. throughout annealing, the tool's surface end is not altered.
Functional labels
Logos and company names that serve as anti-counterfeiting measures
Product information (e.g. type, size, date of manufacture, etc.)
Why should I buy a laser marking tool for marking machining tools?
Laser markings for milling, drilling and turning tools particularly surpass in durability and adaptability. With a laser labeling device, labels can be highly precise even within the smallest fonts and on a large vary of shapes. workpiece properties are not altered as a result of the non-contact and chemical-free laser technology. further cleaning costs can also be avoided due to eco-friendly processing ways.
Function and advantages of laser technology
Flexibility with materials
Tool steel, high-speed steel (HSS), titanium, alloys, boron steel or hardened metals – all kinds of materials can be processed with lasers
