Laser Marking vs. Dot Peen Marking
Laser Marking and Engraving is a widely expanding marketplace as users have seen the benefits of using lasers over conventional methods like Dot Peen for direct part marking.

Materials for Marking with YVO4 Lasers
Virtually every common metal (and a number of uncommon ones) can be marked with an RMI 1064nm laser marking system.

YVO4 Laser Technology
All RMI Laser U-Series Laser Marking Systems Utilize Nd:YV04 Technology. Nd:YV04 lasers feature several inherent advantages over other technologies:

How Laser Marking Machines Work
The semiconductor laser diode (1) takes electricity as input and produces laser light as output. The laser diode emits continuous wave (CW) laser light at a wavelength of 808 nm.

Laser Marking Vs. Ink Jet Printing
Laser Markers provide the ability to mark without the need of any consumables like ink, chemicals, tape, etc to mark directly onto the part.
