Laser Marking |

Superior Joining Technologies provides Laser Marking and Laser Engraving with our new Trumpf Trumark workstation. The new Trumpf Vectormark Workstation is truly a state of the art marking system with advanced programming capabilities and an integrated rotary axis providing the ability to perform full circumferential marking of cylindrical items. We have the ability to perform custom laser marking on parts up to six inches in height with no restriction on the length. Marking can be made as small as .1mm - (you will need a microscope to read it).
The laser has a diode pumped ND YAG power source providing optimum marking conditions on a wide variety of materials. Among those materials easily marked are Titanium, Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Ceramics, and several Plastics. Barcodes, 2D data matrix and custom art work such as corporate logos are easily generated and can be marked to customer specifications.
Marking titanium, steel and stainless steel is achieved by annealing the surface molecules of the material resulting in a lightly oxidized surface. This type of mark does not disrupt the surface finish or change dimensions. What we refer to as Laser Engraving is done with a different set of conditions that severely oxidizes the material up to a depth of .004” and is not affected by metal finishing processes that may be performed after marking.
