Masking & lasering

Precise surface treatment & labelling

Laser technology – protection, precision & efficiency in one process

Masking is a tried-and-tested process for the targeted protection of certain surfaces, drill holes or fitting dimensions during surface processing. This allows different areas of a component to be specifically treated or omitted.

Lasers enable precise labelling, cleaning or structuring of surfaces – contact-free, dimensionally accurate and without chemical residues. Whether for labelling, marking serial numbers or removing coatings – lasers offer maximum flexibility for industrial applications.

Lasering – precision for labelling, cleaning & structuring

The latest laser technology can be used to mark, clean or structure surfaces – quickly, efficiently and without removing material.

Lasers can also be used to remove oxide layers or unwanted coatings in a targeted manner – ideal for reconditioning or cleaning components.

Non-contact & dimensionally accurate

No mechanical stress on the workpiece

Durable & tamper-proof markings

Ideal for serial numbers & codes

No masking necessary

Reduction of the processing effort

Environmentally friendly

No chemicals or residues

Masking – protection for defined surface areas

Masking protects certain areas of a component from subsequent surface treatment. This is particularly important if different material properties or functionalities are to be retained on a workpiece.

But why is it still used?

Protection of drill holes, fitting dimensions & sensitive surfaces

Prevention of unwanted coatings

Use in aerospace, electronics & mechanical engineering

Through professional masking, we ensure that your components are finished exactly to the desired specifications.

Decoating – environmentally friendly cleaning using laser technology

Paint stripping and cleaning with laser technology enables the targeted removal of coatings such as oxide layers or paints – precisely in the μm range.

Thanks to this technology, components can be efficiently reconditioned and reused without causing mechanical stress.

No abrasion & no chemical residues

Highest dimensional accuracy

Environmentally friendly & resource-saving

Laser applications in detail: Large-scale labelling & micro labelling

Whether the smallest details or large-scale markings – the laser process offers maximum precision in every dimension.

Large lettering:

Precise markings on an area up to 815 mm x 360 mm
Single characters & numbers up to 180 mm x 180 mm

Micro labelling:

Precise labelling under 1 mm in size
Ideal for microelectronics & precision engineering applications

Properties of laser labelling

Laser marking is a fast and robust method of permanently labelling components. It is used in many industries to make components traceable or to apply customised markings.

Smudge & waterproof labelling

Automated, high-precision marking

Use on almost all materials
