Applications for Portable Fiber Marking
- Electronics and component manufacturing: Mark serial numbers, Data Matrix codes and logos on compatible metal housings, connectors and selected engineered plastics after contrast and heat-input testing.
- Jewelry and watchmaking: Produce surface marks or controlled engraving on gold, silver, stainless steel, titanium and coated parts with a suitable fixture and recipe.
- Medical-device manufacturing: Create traceability marks on qualified instruments and components; marking is not sterilization and must be validated against the applicable material and regulatory procedure.
- Sheet-metal fabrication: Add part numbers, barcodes, logos and identification marks to stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass and coated workpieces.
- Aerospace and transport: Mark approved alloys and components only after legibility, corrosion, fatigue and process requirements are reviewed.
- Nameplates and branded metalwork: Produce permanent graphics and machine-readable codes on compatible tags, panels, tools and promotional metal products.
Send material grade, coating, part geometry, required mark, cycle time and acceptance criteria for a sample test. We will recommend the source type, power, lens, fixture and safety configuration.

Material & Marking Samples
Standard fiber-laser scope
1064 nm pulsed fiber systems are primarily selected for bare and coated metals plus certain laser-markable plastics. Contrast, depth and surface change depend on alloy, finish, pigment, source type, lens and parameters. Gallery examples on glass, clear acrylic, leather, paper, fabric, stone or ceramic may require UV, CO2, green or another dedicated laser; confirm by sample test.
Typical industries
Common uses include tools, hardware, automotive parts, electronics housings, jewelry, watches, plumbing fittings, tags and machine components. Safety-critical or regulated parts require a documented, qualified marking procedure.
Core Components & Accessories
EZCAD2 Control and Optional LightBurn Pro
The confirmed JCZ-compatible controller is supplied with matching EZCAD software, drivers and machine parameters. LightBurn Pro can be used only when the installed JCZ/EZCAD board and driver are supported by the chosen LightBurn version; preserve the original machine configuration before changing drivers.
Training covers focus, field-lens calibration, parameter testing, file import, fixture setup and routine checks. Production should begin only after the mark and safety controls are validated on representative samples.
1064 nm Pulsed Fiber Laser Source
Select Raycus, MAX, JPT, IPG or an approved equivalent according to the required power, pulse energy and pulse-width control. Q-switched and MOPA sources have different operating ranges. UV, CO2 and green lasers are separate technologies, not interchangeable source options inside this fiber marker.
JCZ Galvo Control Card
The control card coordinates the laser source, galvanometer, red-light preview and optional rotary axis. The exact JCZ model, software license, connectors and driver package are stated in the confirmed configuration.
High-Speed Galvanometer Scanner
Dual-axis mirrors position the beam across the field lens. A controller setting of up to 7000 mm/s may be available, while usable marking speed depends on fill density, material, lens, code quality and required contrast.
Jewelry Rotary Axis
A compact rotary fixture supports inside- or outside-surface marking on compatible rings and bracelets. Confirm diameter range, chuck style and controller-axis support.
Flat-Workpiece Fixture
The adjustable clamp holds thin plates and small parts flat for repeatable focus and positioning. Fixture dimensions and jaw material should match the workpiece.
Cylindrical Rotary Axis
A chuck or roller rotary can mark around compatible cups, tumblers and cylindrical parts. Glass bottles normally require a CO2 or UV process rather than a standard 1064 nm fiber source.

Portable Fiber Laser Marker FAQ
Which materials can a portable fiber laser marker process?
It is best suited to metals and selected laser-markable plastics. Coatings, anodized aluminum and some engineered polymers can give high contrast, but every material and finish should be tested. Most glass, clear acrylic, wood, leather, paper, fabric and stone applications are better matched to UV or CO2 systems.
Which laser power options are available?
Typical configurations span 20-100 W. Available steps differ by Q-switched or MOPA source family, so the quotation should name the exact source model and datasheet.
How deep can it engrave metal?
Depth is not a fixed machine rating. It depends on alloy, source power and pulse energy, lens, spot size, hatch, speed, focus and number of passes. Request a sample with a measurable depth and finish requirement.
How does fiber marking differ from CO2 marking?
A 1064 nm fiber laser is usually chosen for metals and selected plastics, while a 10.6 µm CO2 laser is usually better for wood, acrylic, paper, leather, textiles and many coated nonmetals. The correct choice follows material absorption and the required mark, not a generic precision ranking.
How should the optics be maintained?
Power down and secure the machine before inspection. Keep the lens area clean, avoid touching optical surfaces, and use only the approved optical tissue, swab and solvent specified by the lens or scan-head supplier. Replace damaged protection optics and have internal scanner optics serviced by qualified personnel.
Which software and file formats are supported?
The supplied EZCAD workflow supports text, serial data, barcodes, vectors and bitmaps through controller-compatible formats. Optional LightBurn Pro compatibility depends on the installed JCZ/EZCAD board, driver and software version. Confirm the exact workflow with representative files.
What are the source life and warranty terms?
Service life depends on source model, operating conditions, cooling, duty cycle and maintenance. Warranty duration and covered components are stated in the signed quotation; do not rely on a universal 100,000-hour or one-year promise.
What safety controls are required?
This is an open-beam Class 4 laser system. Use a controlled area or compliant enclosure, interlocks, beam containment, 1064 nm-rated eyewear selected by the laser-safety assessment, fume extraction, training and controlled access. Reflective parts and rotary fixtures require particular attention to stray-beam paths.
