LASER ENGRAVING

Laser Engraving penetrates the surface of the material, evaporating the material itself and leaves a permanent, durable and accurate mark on the material’s surface. Laser engraving is ideal for coated metals, wood, plastics, rubber, acrylic, glass and other surfaces. Click here for our MATERIALS page to learn more about just some of the materials we can engrave. Precision and accuracy are the hallmarks of laser engraving. Characters, letters, numbers and patterns can be clearly and exactly replicated repeatedly. As no moving parts come into contact with or touch the material, the margin of error is significantly eliminated. Only the actual beam makes contact with the material, which does not move it at all. Another key advantage of laser engraving is the small and ultra-fine scale it achieves. Fonts as small as 2.5 pt. can be clearly and permanently engraved onto materials. With our Fusion M2 32, Micron Surface Innovations can create and recreate precise, accurate and long lasting engravings which can be repeated exactly on large run orders.​​

LASER MARKING

In contrast to laser engraving, laser marking is a broader term referring to the laser’s ability to leave a mark on the surface of a material. This is an ideal option for bare metals. Adjustments in the laser allow for different styles and “color” based on the laser’s setting. The image below shows the differences in appearance of laser marking. On the same piece of metal the same image is applied with the same laser using different settings. This allows for customization based on the requirements of the project and the customer. As with laser engraving, laser marking allows for the smallest of scale with clear visibility that lasts.

Micron Surface Innovations can laser mark large runs with precision, accuracy and speed. The use of laser technology allows us to deliver expert quality, consistent products within an impressive turnaround time.​

LASER CUTTING

For precision cutting that is clean and accurate, laser cutting is the efficient and economical choice. The laser makes accurate and consistent cuts at the desired angle that are smooth and precise. Automation and computer controls allow the laser to replicate the same shape and pattern over and over again so that each piece on an order run is exactly the same.

Micron Surface Innovations offers laser cutting on large and small production runs. We also offer cutting services for prototypes and unique creations.

PARTS MARKING

Laser parts marking is a one of our primary services and areas of expertise. Micron Surface Innovations can handle orders of 5,000 – 100,000 pieces in a cost-effective manner with a rapid turnaround time. Numerous types of parts made from many different materials can be clearly marked. The laser marking on the part, no matter how small, is permanent and durable. The color and character of the marking is highly customizable. Another advantage of laser marking large parts orders is the laser can mark multiple parts at the same time. This again allows for speed and accuracy.
Applications for laser parts marking are extensive. Micron Surface Innovations can mark automotive parts, tools, medical supplies, medical implants, aircraft and aerospace parts, gauges, dials, gaskets and more.

BARCODES, SERIAL NUMBERS AND UIDS

Laser marking of barcodes, serial numbers and UIDs are some of the most common applications for the laser. Again, it is the precise and accurate nature of laser marking that makes it an ideal solution for barcoding, serial numbers and UIDs. We’re able to render markings that are clear and readable at the smallest scale. And though small, the markings are durable and long lasting. ​

Micron Surface Innovations UID laser marking services conform to all US Department of Defense standards.​
