What Is Rotary Laser Marking?

Rotary laser marking is the process of creating engravings on a given material by rotating it, giving you the ability to maintain the integrity of the mark’s design and not distort it. Once you mount your chosen material to the rotation device, the tool will turn at a speed controlled by the operator until the process is complete. This results in a clear and high-contrast mark that is guaranteed to not fade over time.

What Are Rotary Laser Marking Machines Used For?

When it comes to surfaces that are round or cylindrical, using a rotary marking machine ensures operators can still deliver precise and repeatable results. Also, no matter the material that you are rotary laser marking, systems utilizing rotaries are designed to provide the following:

Complex designs – With a rotary marking machine, you will be able to mark your desired product from numerous angles, making it able to accommodate even the most complex designs if need be.
Overall uniformity – When using a rotary marking machine, you can trust that the laser beam will be distributed evenly across the material itself. This will help create consistent markings on even the most irregularly shaped objects.
No overlapping – Since a part will be rotated at a constant speed during rotary laser marking, the beam does not stay in the same spot for too long. That means no part of your material will be overexposed, which could potentially damage the material.
