Laser marking for taps and fittings

Laser marking high contrast logos

Manufacturers of taps, fittings and other sanitary components were among the first to use lasers marking and engraving for their logos and names. They were the first to recognize the great quality of laser marking and its long-term durability. The long history of laser marking in this sector has led to extensive studies and research aimed at improving efficiency and performance.

We are, of course, talking about aesthetic laser marking. Laser suppliers must provide a high-performance product. The beauty and sharp image that is a result are a priority.

Laser marked logos and designs must be clearly visible and indelible, and they must maintain their definition and beauty over time.

Laser marker suppliers must also consider another important factor: system productivity. Our customers often need to laser mark a large number of components per day. This goes hand in hand with the need to optimize the laser marking operator’s time.

Let’s look at these two issues in more detail.

Mirko Calvi Production Specialist - Brembo

“We have been choosing LASIT for a couple of years and I must say that we are totally satisfied with the laser markers. Customer service is always available for support. The high quality of the components make this supplier a valid partner for our company."

GianMaria Dainotti Product Manager - Falmec

"The decision to acquire a LASIT machine was dictated by the need to meet increasingly higher quality requirements, as well as the need to be able to optimize execution times, as well as expand the materials that can be processed."

Francesco Toffolo Product Manager - Electrolux

"I can only speak wonders about them. I had a problem with a laser installed on the equipment, which we solved brilliantly, thanks to their indications. Despite the fact that I didn’t monitor this system personally, their indications were so clear that it all went pretty smoothly."

Andrea de Danieli Engineering Manager - Manfrotto

"I discovered LASIT about 9 years ago and continue to work with them to develop new solutions and new machinery to be implemented in our production processes. ehind their product is a great company, made of real people with great skills, competencies and the desire to face new challenges."

Gabriele Ravelli Senior Purchasing Manager - Beretta

“We met LASIT when he was still little more than a small craftsman; we have lived with LASIT its path of exponential growth in a few years and appreciated the great capacity for transformation, innovation and proposal of "ad hoc" solutions for the customer."

Ricardo Benjamin Gonzales Martinez Mechanical Engineer - American Axle & Manufacturing

"The technical system of Lasit machines is perfect for use on Automotive components. Support of our qualified Lasit team comes with each specific machine."

Aesthetic laser marking

For an aesthetically better result it is necessary both to be able to obtain a rich chromatic scale, and to avoid removing the layer of chrome plating (or painting) that covers the components.

The solution in both cases is a laser with very short pulses, which does not stay on the surface of the material for too long.

The MOPA laser, with a duration that goes down to 4 ns, is the ideal technology for the required toning process. Its power naturally varies according to the productivity required by the laser marker.

The MOPA laser marker

Laser pulses are usually fixed: a standard fiber laser has a pulse duration of about 120 ns, with a pulse frequency of between 20 and 100 kHz.

With the MOPA laser, the pulse duration is variable and can be set between 4 and 200 ns, with a frequency ranging from 20 kHz to 1 MHz. The short pulse is particularly useful for laser marking on plastics because avoiding direct contact means the material will not burn.

Laser marking with the MOPA laser offers all the benefits of the traditional Fiber laser, as well as additional advantages for the taps and fittings sector.

Colored markings

High contrast black markings

Less corrosion of the material (heat exposure is reduced)

Fewer burns around the marking and a more defined design

Laser marking system productivity

Our Rotomark rotary table markers are the best-selling laser markers in this sector. The rapid marking and machining time allow the operator to use all the cycle times, without any marking interruptions.

LASIT is an expert in mechanical automation. Our mission is to find turnkey solutions that best suit each customer’s needs. That is why we have created a variety of laser marking systems to optimize production and times.

Rotomark is equipped with a rotating table which has from 2 to 8 workstations. This allows you to load a new component while another component is being marked.

The Rotomark structure consists of welded, stretched, and milled steel, guaranteeing stability and precision. The machine is one of our strongest lines.

The table’s rotation speed also benefits productivity. With Rotomark there is no time wasted, and the laser marking cycle fully exploits the system’s potential.

Laser marking system versatility

Towermark line offers the best solution.

Towermark is available in both the Z-axis only version, and the X-axis version for those who need to mark components of different shapes and sizes. This laser marker can integrate all accessories and is the best-selling product for most of LASIT’s client companies. It is reliable, stable, and safe. But above all, it offers remarkable versatility in changing and implementing the system where production increases, or new components are introduced into orders.
