This fashion accessory will be very familiar to many people. The designer wanted to ensure that his product could be singled out from the rest, and therefore designed a logo that could be laser marked onto the end balls. These small magnetic balls were 3-5 mm diameter and were marked with his logo, a pair of kissing swans. An Nd:YAG laser marking process was used in pulsed mode removing small amounts of materials in a multi pass marking process.

The combined precision of the beam placement, along with specialist tooling, means the part and mark are precisely aligned, every time we set up a new batch.

laser marking anodised aluminium

Laser marking Anodised Aluminium – Electrical symbols

Anodising has become a dominant form of finishing for aluminium. This is largely due to its cost effectiveness, availability and suitability, across a whole host of applications and industrial sectors. Laser marking anodised aluminium, has also become an accepted process across these industrial sectors.

Anodising is an electrolytic passivation process. It changes the microscopic texture of the aluminium by modifying the crystal structure near the surface. The passivation thickness will be between 10 and 25 microns, generally between 10 and…

product branding by laser marking anodised aluminium

Product branding by laser marking anodised Aluminium

A good example of product branding by laser marking is anodised aluminium. It is used in high end audio accessories in the form of cable tidies.  The aluminium is highly polished, prior to anodising, in order to achieve the high gloss finish on the part.

The laser process, delivers small pulses of energy to the component surface. These pulses have enough energy to vaporise the surface of the aluminium where the anodised coating occurs. This exposes the base material, aluminium,…
