Direct part markingwith a laser can create permanent markings on appliance parts made of metal, glass, plastic or other materials. Graphics, logos, text, barcodes, and data matrices can all be laser marked as can user control information, manufacturer identification, safety warnings, quality control, product tracking, serialization and dates.

Oxidized laser markingof stainless steel and other metals is also popular in the appliance industry due to its smooth and clean finish. High contrast marks in a variety of colors can be made using this technique without etching into the appliance surface or creating a raised mark.

Lasers can additionally remove a coating or layer from a substrate to create the desired marking. Our appliance customers use this process to create backlit buttons or panels on plastic glass or metal.

Cutting thin metals using a laser has many advantages over other cutting methods. Laser cutting has no mechanical contact, avoiding deformation in the product and eliminating the need to replace cutting dies, stamps, or blades. Laser cutting provides application flexibility—with changeovers to another cut pattern as simple as selecting a new cut program in the control software. Often laser cutting does not require post processing, so it can be used to cut appliance parts that are ready for assembly.
