Printing on Metal Parts and Components
Industrial Coding and Marking Solutions for Metal Parts and Components Printing
Machined or formed metal parts can require a range of codes for either internal or external traceability. Working with a partner that offers a wide variety of coding solutions and integration expertise can be beneficial when specifying the optimal solutions for a range of material properties and application challenges.
Laser and continuous ink jet (CIJ) remain two of the more common marking technologies for metal components. Videojet’s laser wavelength options provide greater flexibility in matching the given material. CIJ printers offer easy integration for printing on a wide variety of metals and are an ideal solution to print on curved or indented surfaces. Videojet also offers MIL SPEC inks to meet specific military and aerospace requirements.

Fiber Laser Markers
Laser Marking Systems
Fiber Laser Marking Machines that fit the most restrictive spaces.
Developed to meet the needs of manufacturers who work within small spaces, the Videojet 7340 and 7440 fiber lasers feature the Lightfoot marking head, the most compact fiber laser marking head on the market. Achieve easy integration and greater versatility in tight spaces with a fiber laser marking head that weighs less than 1kg / 2.2 lbs – the smallest and lightest fiber laser head on the market. Compact in size, the 7340 and 7440 fiber laser marking head can be easily integrated into production lines or complex machinery, allowing for an increased range of laser installation opportunities. Benefit from a versatile fiber laser solution that is fast to set up, with virtually no consumables. Reduced mounting bracketry offers easy adjustment of the fiber laser marking head, aiding faster set-up and repositioning of the laser head. Featuring a pilot beam-based focal alignment installation process, the 7340 and 7440 offer easier, faster and more precise installation. Control the 7340 and 7440 fiber lasers through a range of familiar, easy-to-use Videojet interfaces, ensuring seamless operation within your production line. Videojet Touch Control Software (TCS+) offers remote control through either the 10” tablet-like touchscreen or from compatible browser-based devices. The advanced Videojet CLARiTY™ laser controller is an alternative user interface, featuring an intuitive touchscreen that will be familiar to users of other Videojet marking and coding solutions.
