Durable Identification for Metal, Plastic and Silicone Applications
In modern industrial production, product identification must be clear, permanent and traceable. Whether the product is a metal component, plastic part, silicone item or coated material, the marking must remain readable during handling, assembly, storage and final use.
The REA JET FL Fiber Laser is designed for industrial coding and marking applications where durable, tamper-proof identification is required. It provides marking with light, without the need for inks, solvents or consumables.
Application Overview
REA JET FL Fiber Laser technology is suitable for permanent marking on a wide range of industrial products.
Typical applications include:
- Metal part marking
- Plastic component marking
- Silicone product marking
- Coated substrate marking
- Medical and laboratory products
- Automotive and aerospace components
- Electronics and machine parts
- 1D codes, 2D codes, serial numbers, text and logos
The REA JET FL brochure highlights several application areas, including engraving and annealing metals, marking plastics with additives, day and night design, and coated substrates.
Permanent Marking Without Consumables
One of the main advantages of the REA JET FL Fiber Laser is that it is consumable-free and virtually maintenance-free. This helps reduce operating costs and eliminates the need for ink or solvent handling.
Because the marking is created by laser energy, the result is permanent and suitable for products where traceability, brand protection and long-term readability are important.
Key Marking Requirements
Because the marking is created by laser energy, the result is permanent and suitable for products where traceability, brand protection and long-term readability are important.
Metal Component Marking
For metal applications, the REA JET FL Fiber Laser can be used for engraving and annealing. This is suitable for industrial components that require durable identification such as serial numbers, production codes, part numbers or traceability codes.
One reference application shows the inside wall marking of metal flanges in a stationary position. The parts had diameters of 66 mm and 88 mm, and the required marking content was a 10-digit alphanumeric code controlled via PLC.
The same application required a maximum marking time of 1 second per marking, with the laser integrated into a complete production system after annealing and cooling.
Silicone and Plastic Marking
Silicone and plastic products can be difficult to mark with traditional ink-based methods because adhesion is not always possible. For this reason, REA and Merck developed a process for precise and permanent marking of silicone using laser-sensitive pigments.
In this process, laser-sensitive additives are added to the raw material before production. When the REA JET FL laser is applied, the additive reacts and creates a visible color change inside the material.
This makes the marking durable, counterfeit-proof and suitable for variable data such as part identification, 1D codes, 2D codes, text and graphics.
Flexible Coding and Marking Content
The REA JET FL system supports flexible marking layouts, including:
- Text and serial numbers
- Date and time codes
- Counter information
- Logos and graphics
- 1D barcodes
- 2D codes including GS1 and other standards
The REA JET Label Creator supports object-oriented layout creation with dynamic text fields, counters, references, logos and numerous 1D and 2D codes.
Easy Integration into Production Lines
The compact design of the REA JET FL laser unit helps simplify integration into industrial production environments. The marking head is easy to rotate, allowing flexible mechanical installation depending on the product position and line layout.
For automation, the system can be connected to production control systems using Ethernet, USB and configurable digital inputs and outputs.
The system also supports remote access through integrated VNC and web server functions, allowing control and maintenance support through a browser without installing extra software.
