Industries Served
Laser engraving refers to the process of incising a design on the surface of a material using a beam of focused light. The light vaporizes or removes a layer of material, leaving a permanent cavity with higher contrast and a distinct feel from other regions of the surface. Skilled engineers can control the depth of the cavity and the amount of material removed to ensure quality engravings in any type of material.
Aerospace laser marking and engraving are efficient ways to identify parts for easier categorization and identification. It offers a precise method of labeling components for the following purposes:
- Serial codes
- Barcodes
- Product Identification
- Part Numbers
- Labels
- Lot & Date Coding
- Regulatory Marking
- Panel & Controls Marking
- Logos
- Nameplates
