Marking & Engraving
Our portfolio
Laser machines
All our systems are developed completely in-house – from mechanics and electronics to software. This holistic development expertise guarantees maximum quality, flexibility, and technical control.
We rely on a broad spectrum of high-performance laser sources: fiber lasers, UV lasers, and CO₂ lasers – each in various power classes. This enables us to precisely adapt our laser marking systems to your material requirements and production processes.
What is laser marking?
Laser technology
Laser marking is a non-contact process for permanently marking a wide variety of materials and surfaces, flexible and versatile depending on the material.
Advantages of laser marking
- Flexibility
- Detail reproduction
- Good readability
- Automation
- Durability
- Variety of materials
- No consumables
- Low maintenance effort
Tempering
The laser beam generates a brownish oxidation on the metal surface through heating. The surface structure remains completely intact.
Removal of a top layer
The laser removes a previously applied layer so the contrast comes from the color of the underlying material.
Color change: Foaming
The laser melts the material in a targeted manner, trapped gas bubbles create raised, brightly visible markings.
Colour change: Carbonization
The laser selectively burns plastic molecules on the surface, creating dark, smooth markings as it cools.
Melting
The laser melts the surface only slightly, maintains the corrosion resistance of the coating and produces high-contrast, reflective engravings.
Material removal
The laser removes the base material selectively to the millimeter range. The metal liquefies or vaporizes. This is also called deep laser engraving.
Glass engraving
The laser creates controlled microcracks in the glass, allowing three-dimensional structures to be precisely engraved.

Laser software
Software
Our in-house developed laser software, TAMPOPRINT Laser Suite, is optimally matched to the MONOLIGHT laser marking systems. It enables precise, reproducible control of all laser parameters and intuitive operation for efficient and standardized production processes.
The software supports cliché manufacturing and offers preset parameters for all laser-compatible TAMPOPRINT clichés. This reduces setup times and increases process reliability.
