Laser marking of turning, milling and drilling tools
Flexibility in many dimensions
Flexibility in many dimensions
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
Materials suitable for laser marking
- Hardened metals
- Tool steel
- High-speed steel (HSS)
- Titanium
- Alloys
- Boron steel
- Coated metals
Impressions
Application examples in machining technology
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
Advantages of Trotec Lasers
- Product portfolio with suitable fiber laser systems and all requirements for free-standing workstations, custom-built system or integration into production lines
Flexibility with shapes and dimensions
- Lasers are often extremely versatile with workpiece shapes, dimensions and surfaces
- Precise and smallest shapes can be marked extremely accurately
- Even hard to reach places can be labeled with the laser
Advantages of Trotec Lasers
- Ideal optics and optimal beam efficency thanks to high-quality components
- Fast and highly accurate positioning of elements by means that of a camera system: SpeedMark Vision – smart adjust
Flexible, variable data can be marked
- A wide range of markings can be created from variable data without retooling or tool changes
Advantages of Trotec Lasers
- Intelligent and intuitive SpeedMark marking software system that can simply process data from existing ERP systems and all dynamic contents in codes
Material-friendly labeling
Thanks to annealing, no material is removed and therefore the material's surface remains intact
Depending on your requirement (marking speed, color effect), fully black treated labels can be created
Advantages of Trotec Lasers
The latest fiber laser sources for all your annealing necessities
With SpeedMarker series, in-focus annealing is additionally attainable. As a result, the marking speed is considerably raised and therefore the material's corrosion susceptibility is eliminated or reduced
