Marcatori Laser: Case Study

Precision Components S.r.l., a Tier 1 automotive supplier outside Milan, struggled with inconsistent part marking on stainless steel valve bodies. Their production line halted three times weekly due to inkjet printer failures. The solvent-based ink created VOC compliance issues and required constant operator intervention.

The old pad printing system applied alphanumeric codes in 12 seconds per part. Ink cartridges cost €2,400 monthly and generated hazardous waste. Markings smeared during downstream handling, causing 4% rejection rates from unreadable traceability codes.

We installed a 50W fiber laser marking system with a 300x300mm field lens and rotary indexer. The system integrated directly with their Siemens PLC infrastructure. Marking time dropped to 1.8 seconds per component with permanent, sub-surface annealing marks.

The laser operates at 1,064nm wavelength with 0.02mm beam diameter. It produces high-contrast black marks on stainless steel without surface damage. QR codes now contain full production data and survive passivation and ultrasonic cleaning cycles.

Annual savings exceeded €38,000 in consumables alone. Production throughput increased by 31% while eliminating marking-related scrap. The system paid for itself in 14 months through combined efficiency gains and quality improvements.

The implementation delivered 99.9% marking accuracy across 2.4 million annual parts. Operators reallocated from maintenance tasks to quality control functions. The digital marking files eliminated artwork storage and plate-making logistics entirely.

Principais caraterísticas e vantagens

Klear Laser’s marcatori laser (industrial laser marking/welding systems) excel through superior component integration. The heart lies in our JPT or Raycus fiber laser sources. These industry-leading diodes deliver exceptional beam quality (M² < 1.2), high electrical-to-optical efficiency (>25%), and unmatched reliability (>100,000 hours MTBF). This ensures consistent, high-power output for demanding applications.

The precision optical head further defines performance. Our integrated wobble welding head enables dynamic beam shaping during scanning. This allows unparalleled control over weld pool dynamics and penetration profiles, even on complex contours. Combined with high-speed galvo scanners (up to 1000 mm/s), it ensures exceptional process speed and repeatability.

This synergy between premium sources and advanced heads delivers superior weld penetration control, exceptional substrate safety due to minimized heat-affected zones, and the clean, efficient laser process Klear champions.

Aplicações industriais

“Marcatori laser” refers to laser marking systems, but in the context of Klear Laser’s industrial solutions, the term may be confused with laser cleaning or welding applications. At Klear Laser, our pulsed fiber laser systems are primarily used in automotive, aerospace, and marine industries for precision surface cleaning and preparation before welding or coating.

In the automotive sector, laser cleaning removes oxides and contaminants from aluminum and steel components prior to joining processes, ensuring strong, reliable welds. Aerospace manufacturers use our systems to prepare titanium and aluminum alloy surfaces without damaging the substrate, critical for fatigue performance in flight components. In marine applications, laser cleaning removes salt residue, rust, and old coatings from stainless steel and carbon steel structures, extending service life in corrosive environments.

All processes maintain substrate integrity through controlled pulse width and energy density, enabling safe, selective ablation of contaminants.
