Laser marking of steel ball bearings

Laser marking of steel ball bearing

This laser marking of steel ball bearing is for a well-known German motorcycle manufacturer. The process sees steel ball bearings, all of a set size, ground with a flat. They are then measured and laser marking used to place the size onto the part for identification, and grading purposes around the circumference to two decimal

Laser marking on stainless Steel curved surfaces

Laser marking on Stainless Steel curved surfaces

There are two methods used for laser marking on stainless steel curved surfaces, such as the example shown. The first is to use a rotary indexer that rotates the part keeping the marking position at the focal point all the time. Commercial issue with this is that additional tooling is required and the process does
