Laser Marking Technologies, LLC has revolutionized the carbide and cutting tool industry. We pioneered carbide laser marking, being the first approved for this application and replacing laborious and consumable processes such as chemical etching. Our rigorously tested machines effectively mark carbide without stress fracturing the surface. They offer impressive laser speed and automated data transfer for cutting-edge laser marking on carbide and HSS (High-Speed Steel) cutting tools.
We design and develop high-quality laser marking machines to address the carbide and cutting tool industry’s most demanding challenges and cater to your requirements.
As pioneers of carbide laser marking machines, Laser Marking Technologies provides the highest-quality solutions with versatile applications to meet your needs. Explore the techniques and applications of our systems in the carbide and cutting tool industry:
Laser annealing is an excellent technique for creating high-contrast markings on cutting tools. The process involves heating the surface until it almost reaches its melting point and oxidizing it. As the material cools, it darkens and produces clear markings with minimal distortion. It is ideal for adding identifying marks on cutting tools, such as logos or barcodes.
Laser engraving and etching both create markings by removing material from the tool’s surface. Carbide laser systems can engrave deep grooves and cavities of varying depths. They can also be used for laser etching, which removes less material than engraving and is commonly used on thinner metals.
Our traceability and barcode technology enables our carbide laser marking machines to create unique identifiers for quality control and inventory management. The system integrates with advanced software and your ERP or database to create numerous barcodes on carbide and cutting tools. You can also adjust the densities and parameters to meet your unique application.
