In the Italian industrial landscape, full of specialized manufacturing realities that form the backbone of the national manufacturing system, stories emerge of companies that know how to combine craftsmanship and investment in cutting-edge technologies. Meccanica Cioffi perfectly represents this model of “industrial craftsmanship” that combines traditional expertise and innovation.
A story of tradition and vision
Founded in 1987 by Carmine Cioffi, who had begun working in the turning industry back in 1956, the company is now led by Andrea Cioffi, who carries on the company’s philosophy based on specialized skills and traditional knowledge, while keeping an eye on new technologies.
Meccanica Cioffi specializes in precision machining for various industrial sectors, establishing itself as a reliable partner thanks to the quality of its workmanship and its ability to offer a complete service, from design to after-sales service.
The challenge: traceability and customization
Like many companies in the specialized mechanical industry, Meccanica Cioffi has been facing new challenges related to the need to:
- Ensure traceability of manufactured components
- Customize products with brand names and identification codes
- Improve production efficiency by eliminating manual processes
- Adapt to the quality standards required by customers from different industries
Traditional marking methods, such as mechanical punching or manual engraving, had limitations in terms of flexibility, accuracy and productivity that threatened to undermine the company’s competitiveness.
The solution: TowerMark-LX from LASIT
The answer to Meccanica Cioffi’s needs was the purchase of a TowerMark-LX laser marking system from LASIT, a fiber laser marker with XZ axis handling that allowed the company to make a significant leap forward in its marking processes.
The TowerMark-LX was selected for several features that make it particularly suitable for the needs of a specialized machine shop:
- Versatility of use: ability to mark both small parts and components up to 50-60 cm
- High precision: high-quality marking even on curved or uneven surfaces
- Ease of use: intuitive software interface that allows the system to be used without special technical skills
- Optimized footprint: dimensions designed to integrate effectively into production spaces
- Production flexibility: rapid changeover from one batch to another without the need for tooling
Applications and results
The laser marker is used daily for a variety of applications:
- Marking of tools produced by the company, with identification codes and company logo
- Traceability of components made for customers in the automotive and industrial sectors
- Customization of products to specific customer requirements
- Deep marking on materials such as steel, stainless steel and aluminum
The results obtained from the introduction of laser technology have exceeded initial expectations:
- Reduction in marking time by 70% compared with traditional methods
- Elimination of human errors in the marking process
- Ability to make complex markings impossible with previous methods
- Increased added value perceived by customers due to the quality of markings
“With the LASIT laser marking system, we have been able to significantly improve the quality and efficiency of our production processes. The flexibility of the TowerMark-LX allows us to respond quickly to the different needs of our customers, a key competitive advantage in an increasingly demanding market.” – Andrea Cioffi
LASIT: technology partner for all manufacturing realities
The collaboration between Meccanica Cioffi and LASIT demonstrates how advanced laser marking technologies are now accessible to all Italian manufacturing realities, from specialized workshops to large industries.
LASIT has proven to be a technology partner capable of understanding the specific needs of a company with a strong craftsmanship background, offering:
- A technology solution calibrated to the real needs of the customer
- Technical support during the installation and start-up phase
