Anyone who has stepped foot in a manufacturing operation knows that machinery can get pretty loud. Pin stamping machines are no exception. But while most direct part marking sounds fall well under acceptable decibel limits, others can reach dangerous points if not well controlled. How can you achieve quiet marking in your operation? Many industries, […]

Laser marking or engraving glass, ceramics, plastics and other soft or heat-resistant materials can pose a catch-22: Opt for more delicate marking methods to increase quality, and you end up sacrificing speed. Let me explain. If you’ve ever tried to mark these types of materials with a CO2, fiber, or diode-pumped laser marking machine, you […]
Laser engraving soft materials, such as silicone, ceramic, glass, and thin metals, has long been a challenge for manufacturers. While most shorter wavelength lasers (or “cold” lasers) lack the power needed for fast marking, MECCO recently annouced a new marking solution product for manufacturers needing to mark for soft or heat-sensitive materials with greater efficiency. The […]
