Laser Engraving on Metals.
For manufacturers of engineering parts, a good traceability system is a vital part of quality monitoring. The use of laser engraving metal ensures that these traceability marks are permanent and will remain legible for a long time – especially useful for parts that undergo a lot of friction and heat. The types of metals that a laser engraver can be used on are as varied as its applications. A metal laser marker can be used to make permanent marks on stainless steel, soft metals, hardened metals, alloys, titanium, titanium alloys, brass, copper, carbides, high-speed steels, aluminium, anodised aluminium, coated metals, and precious metals such as silver and gold.

Metals in Industrial Applications.
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.
The Benefits.
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.

At Cyklop Needham, we understand that precision and reliability are crucial for industrial component labeling across various sectors. With a strong track record of delivering cutting-edge laser marking solutions, we help clients track and identify critical parts throughout the supply chain, ensuring permanent traceability and compliance with industry regulations. Our advanced marking technology provides high-precision, durable, and tamper-resistant identification on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites—guaranteeing performance, safety, and reliability in even the most demanding environments.
With over 60 years of expertise, we provide some of the most advanced coding and marking systems available – offering high-performance marking, durable designs, and seamless integration into your production line. Our solutions come with user-friendly software, making implementation effortless.
For automotive coding and marking applications, we recommend the following high-performance printer solutions:
Proto Lase.
The Proto Lase is our entry-level laser marking system for industrial identification applications, perfect for marking, etching, engraving and annealing all metals, coated metals, plastics and some organic materials.
This system is the ideal solution for low to mid-volume throughput and is an affordable alternative to more traditional methods of marking, such as dot peen, electrochemical etching or hand marking. Despite being entry-level and affordable we haven’t sacrificed on quality or efficiency; equipped with a 30 Watt or 60 Watt MOPA fiber laser with a MTBF of 100,000 marking hours and a 3-year comprehensive warranty, as standard.
Neutro Lase.
The Neutro Lase offers maximum versatility for industries wishing to mark, etch and engrave larger parts. Designed to sit on a worktop within existing manufacturing cells and processes.
Due to its larger footprint and modular design, the Neutro Lase can offer a broad range of optional extras such as XY marking tables for increased throughput, large marking area lenses, big rotary attachments for circumference marking on large diameter parts and power sources from 30 watt up to 100 watt for maximum speed and depth.
With our 3-year comprehensive warranty, the Neutro Lase is the ideal solution for the efficient and reliable etching of heavy-duty parts in industrial environments.
Atom Lase.
The Atom Lase offers our biggest enclosure mounted onto a portable base to offer maximum flexibility. It can be located within an existing manufacturing process or operate as a standalone marking and traceability station. With an auto door function, the Atom Lase is a turnkey solution; simply wheel into the desired location and start etching.
With such a large enclosure, the Atom Lase can be fitted with a wide range of options to further increase efficiencies and offer maximum throughput. Options include XY marking tables to facilitate the loading of multiple parts, large marking area lenses, big rotary attachments for circumference marking on large diameter parts and power sources from 30 Watt up to 100 Watt for maximum speed and depth.
As with all our range, maximum reliability and robustness is assured with our 3-year comprehensive warranty.
