FIBER laser, Integrated laser marking system for metal and plastic parts
- Compact
The heavy-duty design, based on a cast aluminum structure, and high-quality optical components guarantee strength and low maintenance. Whether integrated on production lines or robotic cells, its implementation is easy in all mounting positions. The laser can be oriented to the part surface to significantly reduce installation times and costs.
- Industrial
Equipped to meet the needs of Industry 4.0, the fiber laser engraver is equipped as standard with full network communication ports allowing full compatibility with all PLCs brands and ensure quick and cost-effective integration.
- Powerful
This laser marking machine is available in several powers, 20W, 30W and 50W. 20W is adapted for most of the applications for a surface marking, 30w is the solution for your fast and high-contrast markings, and 50W is the most suitable solution for deep laser markings.
Looking for a simple & affordable laser marker? The Fiber ENERGY contains all core features necessary for basic applications.

This module guarantees you a precise and uniform laser marking, whatever the regularity of the pieces, or the complexity of their shape. Simplify your integration : No need to adjust the focal distance Easy programming Highest amplitude – Choose the best solution on the market : Focal 160: up to 60 mm Focal 254: up to 120 mm Fastest solution – Reduce your marking cycle time : Less than 100ms to change the focal distance Instant refocusing
This unique system adapts to the marking surfaces instantly without any head movement : - No character deformation - Uniform contrast over the entire engraving area - Possibility of multiple markings on a single part at different levels
This module automatically adjusts the focal distance without calibration or wait time: - Guarantee of optimal marking regardless of the flatness of the parts or their shape. - Exceptional range up to 120mm for part height variation for marking of various types of parts on the same line - Constant contrast & depth
- 2D code content verification - Graduation of the code and trigger of operations: file selection, dialogue with the PLC, activation of alarms, actuators for rejecting faulty parts. -Used with Lasertrace software, this module includes a Cognex Insight camera with lighting, auto-focus system and protective lens. -It offers a perfect reading of all 1D and 2D codes
The fiber laser marker is the marking solution dedicated to harsh environments, his aluminum cast housing is powerful, rigid, reduces vibration and shocks, IP rating Head Ip 54 for better protection of the head and reduces long-term maintenance costs, Dust filter, no cooling fan for electronics and source.
To facilitate and reduce the programming times of your PLCs, fiber laser marker is compatible with a wide range of communication protocols: Ethernet TCP/ IP, RS232, standard 8 I / 80, Dedicated I/O via DB-37 and optional industrial communication protocols like Profinet & Ethernet IP.
Developed by Gravotech and enriched by numerous application experiences, it includes all the functions necessary for identification and traceability. Easily mark your parts, with text, serial numbers, logo, generate unique codes like Datamatrix, barcodes, QR codes, UID, GS1, and configure your variables, counters and shift codes. Delivered as standard with each marking laser, Lasertrace allows you to create your marking files in a few clicks. Once the files have been transmitted to the control unit, your marking laser can operate on its own, or controlled by a PLC.
Mini Inline - Innovative Solutions For Permanent Marking
Gravotech has designed a turnkey marking solution that will fit perfectly on your production lines. Mini in line is a Class-1 nozzle to perform marking without designing a costly class-1 casing to secure all the marking process. Designed for Marking of large industrial parts : This class 1 solution is fully customizable to fit your parts perfectly. Recommended for large parts and flat surfaces: Engine crankcase, Gearbox housing, Stamped body parts, Fuel tanks, Long parts # Highest level of safety The mini Inline package includes safety sensors (inductive or optical) for part detection. They are linked to the protective shutters and laser source monitoring. We protect the operators from the fumes and particulates generated by the laser marking. The Mini Inline ensure that we extract all fumes generated by the laser. # flexibility and reliability can be integrated into all positions and compatible with Robots arm / linear Axis. A specific and proven design has been used for years in more that one hundred manufacturing sites.
Fiber Energy
Essential laser marking – simple, reliable, repeatable
Taking all of our expertise, our proven design and dependable components we have created the essential laser, the Fiber Energy. Without the need for autofocus or complex multi-level marking, we can now provide a simple stripped back experience without compromising our product quality. The Fiber Energy has a modular design using proven components to identify permanently your parts, with a high-contrast and high durability marking.
We have carried the reliability from the Fiber over to the Fiber Energy, with a IP54 marking head sealed from dust and other projection, designed to cope with a harsh environment. The fiber energy also carries the full communication capacities to integrate into any manufacturing process for traceability. PROFINET, Ethernet IP, Ethernet TCP/IP and RS232 interfaces are available along with dedicated I/O and USB ports to easily connect it to your workflow.
With fibre source available in 20W and 30W versions, you can get a precise and powerful marking on a wide range of metallic materials: steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminium and more.
