The Power of Light,
Mastered.
Industrial precision meets creative vision with our advanced laser systems.
Laser marking is a permanent process that uses a focused beam of light to create lasting marks on a surface. The process can be achieved using four primary laser source types: Fiber, CO2, UV, and Green lasers, each suited for specific materials and applications. This non-contact method ensures high precision, durability, and full compliance with strict industry standards for traceability and identification.
Benchtop fiber marking for serialization, barcodes, and small parts.
- •20W – 50W fiber source
- •Working area 100mm – 200mm square
- •Marks metals, hard plastics, anodized aluminum, coated surfaces
Class-1 enclosed fiber marking for production floors and shared facilities.
- •30W – 100W fiber source
- •Interlocked Class-1 safety enclosure
- •Optional Z-axis, rotary, and fixturing for repeat parts
Cold-marking on plastics, electronics, glass, and heat-sensitive substrates.
- •3W – 10W 355nm UV source
- •No heat damage — safe for circuit boards, medical polymers, glass
- •Best for medical, electronics, pharmaceutical, cosmetic packaging
Color marking on stainless steel and fine control over mark contrast.
- •20W – 60W MOPA fiber source
- •Adjustable pulse duration for color oxide marks
- •Black-on-anodized aluminum without burn-through
Conveyor-mounted laser marking for continuous production lines.
- •Integration-ready fiber or CO2 source
- •PLC and conveyor handshake
- •Date, lot, batch, and serial marking on the line
Portable fiber marking for large parts, weldments, and assemblies.
- •20W – 50W fiber source in a handheld head
- •Marks parts too large to fit in a cabinet
- •Best for steel fabricators, structural shops, and oversize assemblies
Which Laser Marking Source Do You Need?
Choosing between fiber, UV, MOPA, and CO2 marking comes down to the material being marked and the result required. The table below maps common marking jobs to the right Evermark USA source type.
| Material | Mark Type | Best Source | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon steel, stainless, aluminum, titanium | Permanent serial, UDI, barcode, data matrix | Fiber | Fiber wavelength absorbed by metal — creates a permanent oxide mark |
| Stainless steel | Full-color marks (black, blue, red, gold) | MOPA | Adjustable pulse duration produces controlled oxide colors |
| Anodized aluminum | Black marks without burn-through | MOPA | Pulse control prevents anodizing damage |
| Hard plastics, ABS, polycarbonate | Permanent text and barcodes | Fiber or UV | Fiber for general plastics, UV for heat-sensitive |
| Medical polymers, PEEK, silicone, glass | Cold marks, no heat damage | UV | 355nm UV photo-ablates the surface without heat |
| Circuit boards, electronics | Component-safe marking | UV | No thermal impact on adjacent components |
| Wood, acrylic, leather, paper | Decorative engraving | CO2 | CO2 wavelength absorbed by organic materials |
| Painted or coated metal | Mark through coating without removing it | Fiber or MOPA | Fiber removes coating; MOPA controls depth |

Marks That Meet the Standards
Evermark USA laser marking machines produce marks that meet the major US and international traceability standards when properly specified for the part, material, and reader. Common standards Evermark customers mark to include:
FDA Unique Device Identification for Class I, II, and III medical devices. Direct part marking on instruments, implants, and reusable equipment per 21 CFR 801.
Military Standard 130N for item identification on defense parts. Permanent marking on serialized DoD components, with data matrix readability requirements verified.
Department of Transportation Vehicle Identification Number marking on automotive frames, body panels, and structural components per FMVSS 115.
AS9100-aligned permanent marking for aerospace and defense supply chain traceability. Heat-treat-stable marks on titanium, Inconel, and aluminum aerospace alloys.
Note: Evermark applications engineers verify mark readability against industry-standard verifiers before machine delivery. Compliance documentation is provided on request.
