CO2
The CO2 laser marker is perfectly suited for marking organic materials. Unlike conventional marking systems like inkjet or label, the laser operates without contact and does not require maintenance or consumables.
• PERMANENT DIRECT MARKING
Our powerful and versatile CO2 laser engravers use a 10600nm wavelength in the infrared range, which provides a direct, identification, and permanent marking on a wide range of materials such as natural materials (wood, leather, paper, fruits & vegetables), transparent material (glass, transparent plastics) and coated materials (painted surfaces, anodized aluminum).
• ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION
Direct identification marking with CO2 laser engraver is a real alternative to stamping, inkjet, or labeling in several fields. Our fast laser engraver is environmentally friendly as no ink is used and no waste is generated. The CO2 laser engraver works without materials, unlike the other alternatives, so there is no need to replace ink or stop the machine for maintenance.
• VISION MANAGER - ONE SOLUTION FOR MARKING & READING
With the efficient Vision Manager, identification of your parts is ensured. High-efficiency reading camera, easy to install, grade analysis and sending status information to the PLC are some of the features the module offers. Associated with an extremely high coding speed (up to 10,000 mm/s), the CO2 series is designed to be integrated into high productivity lines.
• NON-CONTACT MARKING
As a non-contact marking system, our CO2 laser technology can safely engrave even the thinnest glass and transparent plastic (PC & PET) without the risk of breaking the product.
The glass is only marked on its surface and for transparent/translucent PET plastics, a white marking that seems to float on the surface is achieved.
• THE WOOD MARKING MACHINE
Operating without materials, this integrated CO2 laser engraver directly marks the wood, without altering of the quality of the material. Laser marking of wood does not generate chips, but only smoke, gases, and dust which can be safely evacuated by an extraction system.
There are many marking possibilities on wood which can be obtained by adjusting the speed or the power of the CO2 laser. The marking color can vary from dark brown, through lighter shades of brown, to white.
With high power, this marking on the fly laser can easily cut into the wood and thus create engravings with on all types of wood: natural, MDF, varnished, cork, chipboard, and precious woods.
• EMBEDDED ON THE LASER
This CO2 laser marker can work independently in a production line and provide all the data required for your identification marking, without a computer. It can serialize your parts automatically, create a unique identification with sophisticated marking elements (multi-format time stamps, variables, counters, offset codes) and update the text and 1D/2D codes predefined in your templates. The efficient onboard electronics can exchange and collect information from your PLCs and database in real-time, helping you to save time and boost your productivity.
• LASERTRACE (Marking And Identification Software)
LASERTRACE is specially developed to create marking files to be downloaded into the laser system. It provides a template composition for adding text, a logo, and codes such as Datamatrix. You can easily create your own marking templates with LASERTRACE. You can define your marking process following precise rules: the actions (marking blocks) to be executed, the sequence of execution and the possibility to implement a wide range of transitions (output activations, camera blocks, variables, etc.).

This marking doesn't alter the material and is an ideal solution for marking soft materials and sensitive components.
• ULTRA-HIGH-DEFINITION MARKING
Gravotech has developed green laser engravers that guarantee small and fine markings, it offers a fine spot size of 20 μm and small markings with exceptional resolution while limiting thermal stress on the material. Small 2D Datamatrix, detailed logo, precise removal of thin layers of coating: the GREEN Series can meet allof your application challenges.
• MARK THE IMPOSSIBLE
Its versatility is almost unrivaled. This range uses a 532 nm wavelength to mark materials that would not normally react to infrared wavelengths: from rough to the most transparent plastics, reflective metals (copper, silver, gold), ceramic, cardboard, wood.
• INDUSTRIAL LASER FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND ELECTRONICS
All electrical devices use plastic with specific properties:
- Insulating properties, not to conduct electricity.
- Fire resistance, through the use of special flame retardant additives, temperature Resistance.
These technical plastics with additives do not react to standard IR laser (1064 nm). GREEN laser marking works perfectly and offers a contrasted marking to replace inkjet and label solutions. You can use it for the CE & normative marking, technical specifications, pins & terminal references, etc.
