FIBER Laser: Integrated laser marking system for metal and plastic parts
- COMPACT DEEP LASER ENGRAVING
The heavy-duty design, based on a cast aluminum structure, and high-quality optical components guarantee strength and low maintenance. Whether integrated in a production lines or robotic cell. The integrated laser implementation is easy in all mounting positions, the laser can be oriented to the part surface to significantly reduce installation times and tooling costs.
- INDUSTRIAL LASER
Equipped to meet the needs of Industry 4.0, the fiber laser engraver for metal, can use many network and fieldbus protocols allowing full compatibility with all PLCs brands to ensure quick and cost-effective integration.
- POWERFUL FIBER LASER MARKER
This deep laser marking machine is available in several powers; 20W, 30W and 50W. 20W is adapted for most applications for surface marking, 30W is the solution for fast and high-contrast markings, and 50W is the most suitable solution for deep laser engraving.

This metal marking laser machine is the laser marking system dedicated to harsh environments and deep laser engraving.
The robust cast aluminum housing is rigid, reduces vibration and resists shocks. The IP 54 protection rating of the head reduces long-term maintenance costs.
A metal mesh Dust filter on the source helps to protect the electronics and source.
To facilitate and reduce the programming times of your PLCs, the laser marker is compatible with a wide range of communication protocols:
- Ethernet TCP/ IP, RS232
- Standard 8 I / 80
- Dedicated I/O via DB-37
and optional industrial communication protocols such as Profinet & Ethernet IP
Developed by Gravotech and enriched by numerous application experiences, this software includes all the functions necessary for identification and traceability.
Easily mark your parts, with text, serial numbers, logos. Generate unique codes like Datamatrix, barcodes, QR codes, UID, GS1, and configure your variables, counters and shift codes.
Delivered with each marking laser, Lasertrace allows you to create your marking files in a few clicks.
Once the files have been transmitted to the control unit, your metal marking laser machine can operate on its own, or controlled by a PLC.

The 3D module guarantees precise and uniform laser marking, whatever the regularity of the pieces, or the complexity of their shape. Simplify your integration. No need to adjust the focal distance. Easy programming Reduce your marking cycle time. Less than 100ms to change the focal distance, instant refocusing. |
This unique system adapts to the marking surfaces instantly without any head movement. No character deformation. Uniform contrast over the entire engraving area, and Possibility of multiple markings on a single part at different levels
This module automatically adjusts the focal distance without calibration or wait time. Guarantee of optimal marking regardless of the flatness of the parts or their shape. Exceptional range up to 4.72 in for part height variation for marking of various types of parts on the same line. Constant contrast & depth.

2D code content verification - Grading of the code - Trigger operations, file selection, dialogue with the PLC, activation of alarms, actuators for rejecting faulty parts. Used with Lasertrace software, this module includes a Cognex Insight camera with lighting, auto-focus and protective lens, it offers a perfect reading of all 1D and 2D codes. |
Mini Inline - Innovative Solutions For Permanent Marking
Gravotech has designed a turnkey marking solution that will fit perfectly on your production lines.
Mini-Inline is a Class 1 nozzle to secure the marking process without designing a costly Class 1 enclosure.
Designed for Marking of large industrial parts: This Class 1 solution is fully customizable to fit your parts perfectly. Recommended for large parts and flat surfaces, Engine crankcase, Gearbox housing, Stamped body parts, Fuel tanks, Long parts.
Highest level of safety: the Mini-Inline package includes safety sensors (inductive or optical) for part detection. They are linked to the protective shutter and laser source.
The Mini-Inline insures we extract all fumes generated by the laser, thus protecting the operators from the fumes and particulates generated by the laser marking.
Flexible and reliable, the Mini-Inline can be integrated in all positions and is compatible with robots arms or linear actuators.
A unique and proven design that has been used for years across more than 100 manufacturing sites.
Fiber Energy
Essential laser marking – simple, reliable, repeatable
Taking all of our expertise, our proven design, and dependable components, we have created the essential laser, the Fiber Energy. Without the need for autofocus or complex multi-level marking, we can now provide a simple stripped back experience without compromising our product quality. The Fiber Energy has a modular design using proven components to permanently identify your parts, with a high-contrast and high durability marking.
We have carried the reliability from the Fiber over to the Fiber Energy, with a IP54 marking head sealed from dust and other products, designed to cope with a harsh environment. The fiber energy also carries the full communication capacities to integrate into any manufacturing process for traceability. PROFINET, Ethernet IP, Ethernet TCP/IP and RS232 interfaces are available along with dedicated I/O and USB ports to easily connect it to your workflow.
