In contrast to more traditional methods of marking, the machine does not require consumables such as inks, chemicals, or pastes. The handling and disposal of these consumables will be one less thing to worry about, allowing businesses to focus on more important things. Metals that are etched using lasers do not have to undergo any pre or post-treatment. Coupled with the speed with which a laser machine works without the need for tool changes, a laser marker effectively completes the job faster and with less effort.
Despite the prevalence of alternative materials, there is no doubt that metals remain the workhorse of the manufacturing industry. Metals provide a unique combination of durability, workability, heat and chemical resistance, and visual appeal that makes them the material for choice for several industrial and commercial applications.
The marking and engraving of metals parts have practically become an essential part of working with metals, whether it is for traceability purposes or as a visual enhancement. To this end, laser engraving machines for metal have become a standard tool for industries that heavily use metals such as engineering, manufacturing, and jewellery making, among others.

Laser engraving metals is a great way to create permanent and precise markings on metal surfaces. It offers a variety of benefits over traditional methods, such as being more cost-effective, faster, and more accurate. Laser engraving also produces a higher quality finish with no need for secondary processes like polishing or painting. The laser can be used to mark logos, serial numbers, barcodes, and other designs onto the metal surface with high precision. Additionally, laser engraving is non-contact which means that it won't damage the metal surface during the process. This makes it ideal for delicate components or parts that require precise marking without causing any damage.
The Needham Group and its subsidiaries have been a part of the ever-developing coding and marking industry since 1962; identifying industry needs whilst simultaneously importing and developing exciting, practical and innovative products to suit.
