The arguments in favor of lasers are strong. Laser techniques are inherently non-contact, so the material being processed is not stressed by mechanical forces, or dimensionally altered.
Lasers are fast, versatile and highly reliable.
Teamed up with computer control, they are extremely flexible and efficient in an automated manufacturing environment. The fact that the laser tool does not deteriorate guarantees consistently high quality and lower operating costs. In all aspects, laser marking compares favorably with other methods used for component identification. Laser markings are virtually indestructible and cannot be falsified. A-B Lasers and its parent company, Baasel Lasertech of Starnberg, Germany, design and manufacture complete, turnkey, standard or customized, laser systems for industry, research and medicine.
