➡️ Last week, our Marion Mackert travelled to the university in Ansbach.  A  home game through and through for everyone involved, in addition to the regional proximity - to be precise, we are only 7 kilometres apart - our Marketing Manager also completed her Master´s degree there. 

➡️ First, we went to the laboratory, where various images of laser-cut sample components were taken using a scanning electron microscope and a new product´s material was precisely analysed. 

♻️ Unfortunately, this product is still top secret and is about to be launched on the market. With the all-round carefree package of sustainability, our labelling with the power of light should of course not be missing - stay tuned for more!  🤩

🔨 A short tour of the newly opened Building 66 of Ansbach University of Applied Sciences was also a must. The new Audimax and the many opportunities for students to learn together are really impressive. 
Special highlights: 
-          Ambrosius-Auditorium 
-          All-gender toilets 
-          Current horse  🎠

Many thanks to Philipp Häfner for your support with our projects and the tour of the site. We are pleased that our cooperation has been so successful for years and that we always support each other. 💪

➡️ Aluminium can be marked quickly and precisely with fibre lasers. The laser beam specifically removes material from the surface, creating a permanent marking - perfect for logos, serial numbers or codes. 

💡A major advantage of fibre laser technology is that it is particularly precise and leaves fine, legible characters that remain clearly visible even under harsh conditions such as scratches or abrasion. The labelling is also resistant to corrosion and weathering, which makes it ideal for use in industry. 

➡️ Compared to other methods such as chemical etching or mechanical engraving, the fibre laser is fast and environmentally friendly, as no chemical substances are required - only the power of light is used. 
PS: Natural anodised aluminium can be easily recoloured with a MOPA laser; the surface is not damaged, only the anodised layer is recoloured.

ℹ️ You can find more information on laser marking of metals here. 

➡️ The beLaser team spent the past two days travelling in the Allgäu region. The agenda included several customer visits in the region and a laser delivery. 🏔

➡️ The first stop was the laser delivery including training at the customer´s premises. Ronny Baumert familiarised the team with the laser technology and, of course, there was also plenty of fun to be had. 😁 Then it was on the next customer visit. 

➡️ On day 2, a visit to our cooperation partner Gabriel-Chemie was on the programme. Of course, the one or other sample laser treatment and optimisation tricks from the laser expert should not be missing here. 

PS: We also had the opportunity to admire the beautiful landscape - the sun was on our side. ☀️

The KPA trade fair was almost 2 weeks ago and we are still impressed by the many great conversations we had on site. The mixture of

The combination of laser marking and masterbatch sets new standards for the sustainable labelling of plastics. But what makes this solution so resource-efficient?

💡 Less is more
In contrast to conventional methods such as labels, printing inks or sleeves, laser marking does not require any additional materials. This saves resources and significantly improves the recycling process.

🚀 Advantages at a glance:
✔️ No additional waste: labels and sleeves are completely eliminated.
✔️ Recycling friendliness: Laser-marked products can be recycled without restrictions.
✔️ Durable and precise: Abrasion-resistant markings for high demands.
✔️ Efficiency: No consumables such as ink or film reduce storage costs and environmental impact.

🌟 Why masterbatch?
Masterbatches contain additives that prepare plastics perfectly for laser marking. The result: razor-sharp, high-contrast markings directly on the surface - without any additional work steps.

📍 Visit us at the Paris Packaging Week!
Together with our partner Gabriel-Chemie Group, we will be presenting this innovative and sustainable solution at Paris Packaging Week. Experience live how laser marking and masterbatch are shaping the future of packaging labelling.

This solution shows how sustainability and efficiency harmonise with each other. An innovative step that helps companies to make their processes more environmentally friendly and save costs at the same time.

We are proud to train young talent and look forward to accompanying Lea on her journey and growing together! 🚀

➡️ In just under 2 weeks, the Fakuma in Friedrichshafen will open its doors. This year, we have not only exhibited our marking lasers at our stand, but also at the stands of our cooperation partners. 

💡One project is a fully automated production system in which the injection moulding machine, robot handling and marking laser work together seamlessly. Together with KT Sakkas, we are currently in the final stages of developing the system and are looking forward to presenting it at the Fakuma trade fair. 

⚙️The system was only possible thanks to a collaboration between several companies. The masterbatch was provided by Gabriel-Chemie, the raw material by Microfol and the laser marking system by us. 

➡️ But what do we laser there? 🤔 – You´ll have to find out for yourself, just drop by the KT Sakkas stand ➡️ Hall B1 / Stand 1218 - the team looks forward to seeing you!

📍You will find our labelling systems together with our partner Gabriel-Chemie in Hall A6 / Stand 6221. 

➡️ Last week, our CEO Ronny went to Austria - more precisely to the headquarters of our cooperation partner Gabriel-Chemie.

💥In addition to customer appointments on site, a laser workshop for GC staff was also on the agenda. The workshop focused on the operation of modern laser technology and the creation of complex laser marking designs. 

➡️There was also plenty of opportunity to discuss current and future projects. The combination of masterbatch and laser marking offers countless design possibilities and we are already looking forward to the next joint projects. 

➡️ After numerous trade fairs in the first half of 2024, the last few months have been a little quieter in terms of trade fairs. The team was therefore keen to get a taste of trade fairs again.

➡️So the AMB in Stuttgart came just in time. The metalworking industry meets there for 5 days and provides insights into the latest technologies and innovations. Of course, we couldn´t miss it! You can find all the highlights in all our Instagram storys!

➡️We had a great day at the start of the trade fair, filled with informative discussions with old and new faces, and have many ideas in our luggage.🍿And yes: the obligatory popcorn and waffles were of course also available!😋

➡️ There was also plenty of opportunity to discuss current and future projects. The combination of masterbatch and laser labelling offers countless design possibilities and we are already looking forward to the next joint projects.

➡️MOPA stands for Master Oscillator Power Amplifier. The laser type consists of two main components: 

• Master oscillator (produces the beam, MO)
• Power Amplifier (optical amplifier, increases the output power, PA)

💡The light from marking lasers is emitted in pulses and this pulse duration is fixed. With the MOPA laser, however, the pulse duration can be set variably. Depending on the application, long or short pulses of 1-500ns can be realised.  

➡️Even more flexibility is achieved through the independent adjustment of the laser parameters - pulse duration, pulse frequency and pulse energy. The laser can therefore be adapted very precisely to the material. 

In our example image, a dark marking was created on natural anodised aluminium without damaging the anodised layer - it was ‘only’ recoloured.

➡️ This maintains full corrosion resistance and makes MOPA marking ideal for areas of application where resistant markings are required. Other examples include the marking of medical products, as the marking must be extremely due to the countless sterilisation processes. 

➡️ Last week we hosted the Lehrberg vacation program. As part of several company tours in the Lehrberg industrial area, a visit to the new beLaser company building (stay tuned!) was also on the program. 

💡We started with a brief explanation about laser night and what you can do with it. Then we went straight to the laser machines. Here the children were able to experience the laser effect live. They were each allowed to laser a ruler, highlighter and tennis ball with their names. 

➡️The crowning glory was our "sports program". First, a short warm-up phase with skills exercise was on the program. After that, we got straight down to business. Our sales representative Kai explained the game of handball to the kids and drew the playing fields in the courtyard. Of course, the "freshly" laser-cut tennis balls were used straight away. 

🎯Exhausted from the game and the impressions, there was a round of ice cream for everyone to cool down. 🍦🍨

➡️🥎Are you interested in a round of handball with Kai? Send us a short message, we´ll laser tennis balls and Kai will explain the most important basics for a successful start to the game.  💪

➡️That's how you could summarise the past weekend. Well, maybe it only felt like 36 degrees last weekend at Europa Park in Rust, but the pavilion was definitely worth its weight in gold.

➡️We worked for dm in the "Italy" park area with your mobile marking laser. The drugstore celebrated the renovation of the family&friends store located there for two days. On Friday and Saturday, guests young and old had the opportunity to have lipsticks and brushes individually engraved.

🥳The rush was enormous and so, in classic amusement park style, there was naturally a long queue. Over 1600 brushes and lipsticks ended up in the hands of happy owners.

➡️We are delighted that the campaign was such a great success and wish dm many happy customers for their remodelled store!

➡️ While traditional processes use material removal to change surfaces, a MOPA laser makes it possible to recolour the anodised layer - without any loss of material. 

💡 The main advantage of this technology is that the corrosion resistance is completely retained. In contrast to conventional methods, where the protective oxide layer can be damaged by the removal process, this method leaves the protective barrier intact.

➡️Advantages of the process at a glance:

✅ Corrosion resistant
✅Longer service life and protection of materials/products
✅Ideal for DataMatrix, QR codes etc. for traceability

➡️You can find more information about the different marking processes on metals here.

➡️Our comprehensive brochures offer detailed insights into the world of laser marking technology. Learn all about the precision, efficiency and versatility of our laser systems. Whether CO2, fibre, UV or green lasers - we have the right systems for every application.

➡️In addition to numerous product examples, the technical specifications of the laser systems are also included. Our marking lasers range from mobile desktop lasers to integrated systems in production plants. 

💡UV stands for ultraviolet and the radiation is also emitted by the sun. Ultraviolet radiation is in the lower wavelength range (355nm) and lies outside the perceptible spectrum. 👁️

🟣Violet is the last high-frequency colour that can be perceived by the human eye, which is why you can still see the laser beams in our example.

➡️ Advantages due to the shorter wavelength:

✅Suitable for sensitive materials 
✅ Razor-sharp lettering even on very small surfaces 
✅No damage due to "burning" of the surface

Laser marking with the UV laser is therefore also known as "cold marking", as no thermal deformation takes place. Particularly suitable for marking wood, organic materials, plastics and glass. 

Do you have a sensitive material that you would like to test? Please contact us here. 

➡️ In modern production, it is hard to imagine component labelling without a marking laser. Fibre lasers are often used here, as almost all metals and plastics can be marked permanently and abrasion-resistant.

🧐But how does it works ❓

➡️ A fibre laser uses doped glass fibres as an amplification medium. Optical pump diodes couple light into the fibre, where it is amplified by stimulated emission. 

ℹ️ Detailed information on how fibre lasers work can be found here.

➡️The resulting laser beams are ideal for permanent component labelling of all metals and plastics. Thanks to their long service life and reliability, they set new standards in manufacturing technology.
