In the automotive industry, complete clarity and traceability of safety-related components must be ensured. Optimal readability of Data Matrix codes or other alphanumeric labels is a prerequisite for this application. Laser systems are an ideal tool to be able to reliably and quickly apply these codes and other contents to almost all materials that are used in the automotive industry while achieving a high-quality finish.
Materials suitable for laser marking
- Steel
- Steel alloys
- Aluminum
- Aluminum alloys
- Coated metals
- Plastics, such as polyamides, PP, ABS, etc.
- Composites
- Natural fibers
Application examples in the automotive industry
Typical application areas for laser markings in the automotive industry are functional engravings of data matrix codes and other dynamic content for quality assurance and traceability on all automotive parts made of plastics and metals.
In addition to the laser marking of parts and components, which are carried out for quality assurance or traceability purposes, laser marking in the automotive sector is also performed for design purposes.
