30W Fiber Laser Marking Machine for Metal Parts and Serial Numbers

A 30W fiber laser marking machine marks serial numbers, logos, and 2D barcodes on metal parts at speeds up to 7000mm/s. It is the standard entry-level laser marker for production lines that need permanent, high-contrast marks on steel, aluminum, copper, and coated metals. The 30W power level balances marking speed, mark depth, and machine cost, making it the most popular configuration for electronics, automotive, hardware, and medical device manufacturers.
The fiber laser source has a service life of over 100,000 hours with no consumable parts. The only routine maintenance is cleaning the protective lens and replacing it when scratched. This low-maintenance profile is why laser marking has replaced dot peen and inkjet in most modern production lines.
What Materials Can It Mark?- Stainless steel: annealing marks (black on stainless) and deep engraving.
- Carbon steel and alloy steel: serial numbers and part numbers.
- Aluminum: anodized marking and logo engraving.
- Copper and brass: high-contrast marks for electrical components.
- Coated metals: removing anodized or painted layers to reveal base metal.
This machine size is for:
- Electronics manufacturers marking connectors and PCBs.
- Automotive parts suppliers marking traceability codes.
- Hardware and tool companies marking brand logos.
- Medical device manufacturers marking surgical instruments.
- Job shops offering laser marking as a service.
A 20W machine handles light marking on thin parts and is the lowest-cost option. If you mark deep serial numbers on steel or need faster cycle times, the 30W machine is the sweet spot. For deep engraving on thick steel or large marking areas, step up to 50W.
FAQ: Q: Can it mark plastics? A: Standard fiber lasers mark engineering plastics such as ABS and polycarbonate that contain laser-sensitive additives. For marking on transparent plastics or glass, a UV laser marker is required. Q: What file formats does the software support? A: The marking software imports DXF, PLT, AI, and BMP files, and supports text, barcode, QR code, and date/time serialization. Q: How long does the laser source last? A: Fiber laser sources typically last 100,000 hours of operation. At 8 hours per day, that is over 30 years of service. Q: Can it mark on curved surfaces? A: Yes. With a rotary attachment, the machine marks around cylindrical parts such as pens, tubes, and bearings. For significantly curved or irregular surfaces, a 3-axis marking system is recommended. Q: What is the difference between marking and engraving? A: Marking changes the surface color without removing material (annealing or foaming). Engraving removes material to create a recessed mark. The 30W machine handles both, but engraving requires slower speed and multiple passes.
