Can this machine mark stainless-steel codes for camera reading?

Stainless steel is a suitable fiber laser marking material. Code readability depends on the finish, artwork and reading conditions. Share the required reader and code layout with us; any camera or verification equipment must be specified separately from the marking workstation.

How do I specify engraving depth on metal?

Tell us the alloy, target depth, artwork size and acceptable surface finish. Engraving depth and cycle time depend on the laser source, lens and recipe. Use a measured sample as the acceptance reference for the configuration you choose.

Should I choose surface marking or depth engraving?

Choose surface marking when readable identification is the target, and depth engraving when the job requires measured material removal. Define the required durability, finish and depth with your drawing so we can review the process and acceptable cycle time.

How do I choose between 30, 50, 60 and 100 W?

These power options cover different marking and engraving requirements. Compare the required contrast, depth and complete processing time on your metal and lens field. Higher rated power is useful when the resulting quality and cycle fit your production target.

Can this metal workstation also mark plastics?

Only suitable laser-responsive plastics should be considered after testing. Provide the exact polymer, color and coating. For a plastic-focused application, compare a fiber laser marking sample with a UV laser marking process before selecting the laser source.

Which configuration should I choose for color designs on stainless steel?

Specify the alloy, surface finish and required color appearance. Q-switched and MOPA configurations need to be selected for that result, including pulse control. Qualify the design on the actual finish and agree appearance limits before choosing a machine for decorative color marking.

Fiber Laser Engraving Machine for Metal, 30–100 W

Fiber, UV & CO2 Laser Marking Machines

This 1064 nm fiber laser workstation is configured for marking, surface texturing and controlled engraving on qualified metals. Its 30, 50, 60 and 100 W options cover different process needs; achieved depth and cycle time depend on the part and settings.

Application and model selection

For depth engraving, send the alloy, target depth, artwork size and acceptable surface roughness. Compare test results at the required lens field instead of selecting power from scanner speed alone. Jewelry and decorative work may prioritize fine detail and low heat input, while tool identification may prioritize durable readable marks.

The values below identify this product and its listed options. The selected source, optics, controller, accessories and site utilities must be named in the quotation. Motion speed and positioning figures do not establish finished-part tolerance or production throughput.

Materials and process limits

The 1064 nm fiber process is mainly used for stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, copper, titanium, precious metals and compatible coatings. Some engineering plastics mark well after testing. Glass, clear acrylic, wood, leather, fabric and stone usually need a UV or CO2 machine. Plating, pigments and heat-sensitive inserts can change the result.

Production workflow

Import text, logos, serial data, QR or Data Matrix codes and compatible vector or bitmap files in the supplied software. Set the fixture, focus and field correction, then qualify a recipe on the part. EZCAD2 and LightBurn are not interchangeable on every controller; confirm the installed board, driver, source protocol and license before choosing software.

Options to specify

Select Q-switched or MOPA by the required contrast, depth and heat input. A larger field lens changes spot size and working distance. Rotary fixtures require the part diameter, weight and available Z clearance; autofocus and 3D scanning are separate options. Open workstations require a controlled laser area or a suitable enclosure and extraction.

Plan suitable guarding, interlocks, emergency stops, extraction and operator training for the supplied laser system. The finished machine classification must be verified; an enclosure alone is not proof of Class 1 compliance. Follow the supplied operating and maintenance instructions.

Sample test and acceptance

Approve a representative sample and the written configuration before ordering. Record the material, source, settings, lens or nozzle, fixture, appearance, dimensions and complete cycle time. Keep those results as the production acceptance reference.

Deep engraving and color marking

Deep engraving and color marking require a defined material and process test. Depth depends on source, lens, passes, hatch and permitted cycle time. Color effects depend on alloy, surface and pulse control and are not a universal feature of every fiber source. Specify measured depth, appearance and durability as acceptance criteria.

Installation, service and documentation

Ask Vank Laser to include the machine layout, electrical requirements, supplied software, operating instructions, maintenance schedule and recommended spare parts in the technical proposal. Agree commissioning, operator training, support language, warranty coverage and service responsibilities before shipment. Request conformity documents for the actual machine and destination.

Request a sample test and quotation

Send the alloy or polymer grade, coating, part dimensions, marking area, artwork, smallest code, contrast or depth target, cycle time and fixture needs.

Send the destination country, installation voltage and required delivery scope with your inquiry. Ask for sample photos or video, measured results and a configuration-specific quotation.
