Fiber laser markers
Technology
Fiber lasers use an optical fiber made of silica glass, rare earths such as erbium, ytterbium, neodymium, dysprosium, praseodymium, thulium and holmium are then added.
Fiber laser markers have one great advantage: they are extremely stable lasers. In fact, when a fiber laser generates its beam inside the core, beam delivery does not require complex or sensitive optical equipment.
So, fiber lasers can handle shock and vibration making it particularly suitable for any assembly line.
Advantages
- Fiber laser markers have a small, straight beam, allowing better focus.
- Fiber lasers are energy efficient. A fiber laser can convert nearly 100 percent of the input it receives into the beam, thus limiting the amount of energy that is converted to heat energy. The fiber laser marker tends to remain safe from heat damage or breakage.
- They are industrial lasers, therefore, require zero maintenance.

Q-SWITCHED FIBER LASER
Arca manufactures and sells several Q-switched ytterbium fiber lasers for any type of marking and industry. Our laser models have power levels from 10 to 100w.
The fiber laser Produces a “pulsed” beam of light. This technique allows extremely high peak power, which is ideal for marking on even the strongest materials. It is suitable for marking on most surfaces, including metals, polymers and ceramic materials.
It enables better print definition and a higher life expectancy (100,000 hours).
MOPA LASER FIBER (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier)
The MOPA laser (an acronym for Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) is one of the most flexible lasers on the market and can be used for many applications: in terms of pulse duration it can mimic the properties of conventional fiber lasers (relatively long pulses) and those of classic solid-state lasers (short pulses) such as Nd:YAG or Nd:YVO4.
For short pulses and lower pulse energy, e.g., the material is heated less and the area of the heat-affected zone is reduced. This results in greater benefits and possibilities for laser marking of metals and plastics:
- Less burning/fusing in the edge area of metal etchings
- Less heat development during annealing of markings on metal, leading to better corrosion behavior
- Creation of reproducible annealing colors on stainless steel
- Black marking of anodized aluminum
- Controlled melting of plastic
- Less foam with plastic
- More homogeneous and sometimes higher contrast markings on some plastics.
The advantages of conventional fiber laser sources remain unchanged:
- Maintenance-free
- Long lifetime
- Air-cooled
3-axis laser marking
All Arca laser markers, of any technology, can employ a 3-axis marking control module. At this makes it possible to mark on different planes, surfaces inclined and curved.
3-axis control makes it possible to avoid onerous part handling systems or the replacement of the jigs supporting the workpiece itself.
Solidity and safety
Arca laser markers are distinguished by industrial strength and safety.
Made of stainless steel and available in IP65 versions, they are extremely robust and employ high-end components.
No improvisation: the best laser sources and focal lenses available on the world market, to offer performance and life expectancy at the top of international technology.
