Laser Systems for the Carbide and Cutting Tool Industry

 

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.

Resolving Industry Challenges and Meeting Your Needs

 

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.

  • Traceability and identification: Cutting tools require identifiers for quality control and to optimize inventory management. Our laser machines create precise, long-lasting markings, such as barcodes or serial numbers, on cutting tool surfaces to ensure easy identification and traceability.
  • Durability and wear resistance: Markings on cutting tools need to be durable to withstand the excessive use and conditions of their operations. With our cutting tool and carbide laser marking machines, you can create long-lasting markings that resist wear and tear while not reducing the integrity of the tool or creating runout.
  • Precision and accuracy: Precision and accuracy are crucial for ensuring markings are legible, even on the smallest and most complex tools. We’ve developed laser systems that can be programmed to produce intricate and small designs.
  • Efficiency and cost-effectiveness: Our laser machines are long-lasting and durable, offering years of reliable functionality. We provide cost-efficient systems without compromising on quality. Plus, we can price-match any competitor.

 

 

Laser Solutions for the Carbide and Cutting Tool Industry

 

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:

 

VIEW ALL APPLICATIONS

 

 

Laser Annealing

 

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

 

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.

 

 

Traceability

 

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.

 

 

TYPES OF MARKING:
  • *Ablation of metals/laser-friendly materials/coatings  (removing a small amount of material)
  • *Annealing (often black)/ Color Marking (oxide precipitation on stainless steel, titanium, tool steel, etc.)
  • *Deep or Shallow Engraving
  • *Burnishing (polishing)
  • *Plastic Marking (Foaming or Carbon precipitation)
