What is the difference between fiber laser marking and CO2 laser marking?

CO2 lasers are more effective on plastic and organic surfaces, while fiber lasers provide high contrast and speed on metals.

Laser Marking Machine

Q: What is a laser marking machine and how does it work?

They are industrial devices that mark permanent text, logos, QR codes and patterns by changing the top layer of the surface with a fiber laser beam.

Q: Which materials can be laser marked?

It can be applied with high precision on metal (steel, aluminum, copper, titanium), plastic, ceramic and glass surfaces.

Q: In which industries are laser marking machines used?

They are widely used in the automotive, electronics, medical, defense, jewelry, packaging, white goods and energy sectors.

Q: Can laser marking machines perform color marking?

Thanks to MOPA fiber laser machines, color marking is possible on surfaces such as stainless steel and titanium.

Q: What are the advantages of laser marking machines?

Permanent and non-erasable marking, no need for chemicals, low operating cost and high speed are the main advantages.

Q: What marking sizes can a laser marking machine handle?

With standard machines, marking can be done in areas from 100×100 mm to 300×300 mm; larger surfaces can be marked with special systems.

Q: What is the lifespan of laser marking machines?

Fiber laser modules generally have a working life of up to 100,000 hours, which provides a long-term investment advantage.

Q: How do laser marking machines operate with software support?

Text, logos or QR codes loaded from a computer via software such as EZCAD are processed onto the surface with the laser.

Q: How much do laser marking machines cost in Türkiye?

As of 2025, 20–50W machines are in the range of $3,000–$7,000, 50–100W machines are in the range of $8,000–$15,000 and 100W+ machines are at $20,000+ levels.

Laser marking machines are advanced industrial devices used to engrave permanent text, logos, serial numbers, barcodes and QR codes on metal and non-metal materials. Fiber laser marking, CO₂ laser marking and UV laser marking technologies provide high precision and long-lasting results. As RgWEL, we manufacture fiber laser marking machines in Türkiye and Europe. Since 2025, we have been developing the world’s most durable and fastest marking systems thanks to our R&D studies.

How Does a Laser Marking Machine Work?

What Is a Laser Marking Machine?

Laser marking machines, which have been used since the early 1990s, have become an industrial standard today. Unlike traditional methods:

No toxic chemicals are used.
There is no need for consumables.
They operate with high resolution (±0.01 mm).
Any pattern and text can be easily marked under computer control.

Advantages of Laser Marking Machines

Environmentally friendly: No chemicals or consumables are used.
Low cost: Operating expenses are much lower than traditional methods.
Long-lasting marking: It is non-erasable, non-abrasive and highly durable.
Flexible use: Suitable for many surfaces including metal, plastic, ceramic and glass.
Minimal maintenance: Fiber lasers have a module life of up to 100,000 hours.
Quiet operation: Provides comfortable use in industrial environments with minimal noise.
