Construction & Housing

Permanent marking of construction & building equipment

Laser marking ensures lasting code integrity under wear, impact, and tough daily use conditions.

Challenges in Construction & Housing

In construction, markings must withstand rough handling, exposure, and surface wear. Our solutions provide permanent, legible codes on tools, structural components and packaging that remain readable over time. From steel parts and plastic fittings to coated wood and composite materials, our systems deliver high-contrast results with minimal maintenance. They integrate efficiently into production and support long-term operational reliability.

Fiber Laser

Instead of gas, a fiber laser uses optical fiber made out of silica glass to get the job done. The fiber is “doped” when a rare-earth element is added to it. This level of beam is suitable for cutting a wide variety of materials, making it a stable choice over other lasers. A fiber laser can handle the bumps, knocks, vibrations, and general discord of any assembly line as well. The beam is straight and small, using precise focus and efficiency to create the mark.
 
Another benefit to fiber lasers are their tendency to stay safe from heat damage or fracture. This laser requires minimal maintenance for such an efficient system, making it well-suited for the construction and housing industry.

Vanadate Laser

Vanadate lasers deliver precise, high-contrast markings on delicate and
heat-sensitive materials used in construction components. Their superior
beam quality enables fine-detail engraving without damaging the substrate.
Suitable for marking switches, control panels, fixtures, and composite housings, Vanadate systems provide permanent, legible codes that
ensure traceability and support quality control in construction and
housing applications.
