Laser marking machines

Permanent, ink-free marks on metal, plastic, glass, film, cable and packaging, from the right laser for your material.

Choosing the right laser for your material

A laser marker changes the surface of a product with a tightly focused beam of light. The mark cannot rub off or wash away, and it cannot be altered without damaging the product. There is no ink to run out, no solvent to buy and no print head to clean.

Which laser is right depends on the job. We start with your material, then look at line speed, how much detail the code needs, how clean or dusty the floor is and what you want to spend, and point you to a UV, CO2 or fibre laser from there.

Why choose laser marking

Permanent, tamper-resistant marks
No ink, solvent or make-up fluid to buy
Sharp small text, logos and 2D codes
Non-contact marking at line speed
Low running cost per mark

Which laser suits which material

A guide to get you started. Results depend on the exact grade, colour and coating of your material, so we always recommend proving the mark on your own samples.

Choose your laser

Three laser types cover most coding and marking jobs. Tell us what you mark and we will point you to the right one.

UV laser

A UV laser marks with very little heat, which suits delicate surfaces and fine detail.

5W to 10W
Water and air cooling
IP54 rated

Best for

Plastics, glass and films
Heat-sensitive materials
Small text and fine 2D codes

CO2 laser

An RF-excited CO2 laser built for fast marking of packaging and organic materials.

30W and 60W
RF-excited CO2

Best for

Paper, cardboard and wood
Glass and many plastics
High-speed packaging lines

Fibre laser

An infrared fibre laser for quick, durable marks on metal, with some non-metals also possible.

30W, 50W and 100W
1064 nm infrared

Best for

Most metals at high speed
Some non-metals, such as rubber and resin
Tools, parts and components

Built for Kenyan production lines

Laser marking suits Kenyan plants that want a permanent mark without the cost and mess of inks, as long as the installation is planned properly.

Advice on laser safety, enclosures and guarding, with operator training.
Fume and dust extraction planned for your material and workspace.
Power protection with stabilisers or UPS, so a dip does not interrupt marking.
Cooling and ventilation suited to warm, dusty factory environments.
Marking tied to your conveyor so codes stay sharp at line speed.
Local installation, spares and support from a Kenyan team.

Common questions

What is the difference between UV, CO2 and fibre lasers?

They use different wavelengths, so each reacts differently with materials. UV suits plastics, glass and films, CO2 suits paper, wood, film and many plastics, and fibre suits metals. We help you match the laser to your material.

Is laser marking safe for operators?

Industrial lasers need proper guarding, interlocks and eye protection, and the installation should include fume extraction where the material calls for it. We advise on the setup and train your team before the machine goes into service.

Does a laser marking machine have running costs?

There is no ink, solvent or make-up fluid to buy. You still need power, any extraction or cooling the machine requires, and periodic cleaning and servicing, which our support team can plan with you.

Can a laser mark products while they move?

Yes. With a sensor and encoder linked to your conveyor, a laser can mark moving products. What speed and code size are possible depends on the model and the material, so we confirm this for your line.
