Laser Marking

Laser marking is the most practical and innovative solution to distinguish industrial products and thus facilitate their traceability. It is a laser engraving solution on metals that is highly appreciated for its flexibility, reliability in yield and savings: in fact, laser marking exploits a technique that does not require the use of inks, masks, solvents, acids or tools that come into contact with the surface to be engraved.

What it consists of. During the laser marking process , an intense beam of light is directed onto the surface to be worked on and driven with moving mirrors or a plotter head to create the marking.

Regardless of the type of laser engraving you are about to carry out, it is essential to have a suitable laser engraving machine and, in general, efficient, accurate and professional means, so don't waste time and money on low-quality tools, but rely on experts in laser marking and laser engraving such as Automator Marking Systems.

In fact, our company has a wide range of products that includes all currently available technologies in the area of laser engraving on metals and other surfaces:

• AWave lasers with self-adjusting frequency
• Active fiber lasers
• MOPA laser
• YVO4 laser @ 1064 nm
• Green laser
• CO2 laser

In addition, Automator has developed ^EuGENIUSTM, the new extremely versatile and easy-to-use proprietary software thatenables laser marking of any surface and any material.

This is one of the winning aspects of the company because, without ever neglecting the quality factor, its offerings confront a range of possibilities for all budgets, in metal marking and beyond!

How do I choose the right laser engraver for me?

Two key criteria when choosing a laser engraver are experience and safety.

• Experience of more than 80 years in industrial marking : in order to be able to choose the most suitable solution, one must, first of all, know which laser engraver is best suited to the type of processing we are looking for. The laser engraving machine must be able to meet the specific needs of those who buy it, in relation to the material to be marked and the mode of work. Therefore, relying on an ISO 9001-certified company with decades of experience (preferably Made in Italy) that offers multiplelaser marking technologies, instead of just one type of laser, is the first step toward a safe purchase.
• Safety, first of all: the current standard ( EN ISO 14119) requires the laser engraver to be equipped with mechanical locking ( shutter) of the beam made only with CE-marked components in accordance with Directives 2014/30/EU-2014/35/EU and dual-channel functional safety of the "Safety Sensor" with RFID principle of action in accordance with IEC 60947-5-3, ISO 13849-1, IEC 61508, IEC 62061. A laser engraving machine must be, first of all, safe and certified!

An electronic shutter is not enough! It's the mechanical shutter that makes the difference. The double-contact mechanical safety shutter on Automator laser engraving machines physically blocks the laser beam when the system signals an event where safety fails or in situations where, inside booths, unobstructed access to the marking area is needed. Laser marking varies in price depending on quality. Low-cost laser engravers do not guarantee this basic requirement and therefore do not meet current safety regulations.

Looking for an innovative, quality laser engraving machine?

Essential for extremely precise machining, a laser engraving machine is now a popular tool in many industries. It guarantees maximum safety, speed of execution and allows laser engraving on any material with the utmost precision.

The models of laser engraving machines offered by Automator are many: from the lightweight and compact laser marking machine to the more common benchtop system. Most of the available means are equipped with standard sources and intuitive software with open parameters that allow the system to be optimized based on the material to be engraved.

We have different types of markers, such as laser engravers for metals, wood, plastic and glass laser engravers. Automator's new technology in laser markers for engraving metals and other materials has even produced the world's smallest source.
It is a laser engraving machine equipped with self-adjusting frequency that marks up to a power comparable to 20W, thus enabling both economical and high-performance performance.

This technology, which goes by the name of ^aWaveTM, enables marking on almost any material, allowing the size of the source to be kept small.
