LASER MARKING

Laser marking is a rapidly growing industry with a wide range of materials and applications. Whether you are in sign-making, model-making, plastic fabrication, automotive, medical, aerospace or another sector, there is a growing need for laser marked components.

Goods manufactured in the UK and imported products require some form of branding or marking - for instance logos, serial numbers, product codes, user instructions or warnings, all of which can be laser marked. EU compliant components require CE marking, and in some instances it is important that components are marked for traceability purposes.

Laser marking provides a permanent, aesthetic and non-damaging solution. Individual items can be directly marked which is especially useful when a label cannot be used or has to be avoided.

• Versatile: CTR laser cutting machines can be customised for your specific industrial or educational applications and our machines can easily be adjusted for a wide range of materials. One-off prototype models, small or larger production runs are all easily catered for with a laser machine.
  
  
• Precise: CTR’s laser machines can mark a wide range of materials to a high degree of accuracy, ensuring top results every time - even intricate or complex detail can be produced effectively.
  
  
• Fast: because laser marking is faster than traditional techniques, you can achieve greater output and increased productivity, giving you a better return on your investment and ultimately leading to more profitability!
  
  
• Safe and Clean: laser marking is a contact-free process - materials do not need to be clamped down or adjusted and the laser machines never expose the operator to moving parts. All CTR machines are fully tested, CE approved and comply with industry safety standards. This is a clean and efficient process, especially when used in conjunction with a CTR filtration/ventilation system.
  
  
• Ease of use: whether you are new to laser marking or an expert, CTR laser marking machines are easy to operate, once the design software file has been imported and the laser settings adjusted, it is as simple as operating a microwave, laser printer or CD player!
  
  
• Value: CTR laser cutting machines represent excellent value for money. The compact machine footprint compared to the working bed size makes CTR laser machines an extremely attractive option.

Examples of laser marking applications:

• Mobile Phone Keypads
• PC Keyboards
• Fascia Panels
• Medical Items
• Laptop Cases
• Mobile Phone Cases
• iPods & iPads
• Bathroom Fittings

Additionally laser marking can be used on a wide range of engineering components and assemblies.
