Types of laser marking generally fall into one of three categories: Ablation, Engraving and Stain marking.

Any steered beam fiber laser marking system requires a means of directing the light from the fiber laser into the steering mirrors of the scanhead. The output device of a fiber laser is called an “isolator” or “collimator”. When the fiber laser beam exits the “isolator” it is about 8.5mm in diameter. The fiber laser beam must ultimately go into the scan head, reflect off of the X and Y galvo mirrors, pass through the F theta flat field lens and then be focused on the work piece to be marked or engraved.
