Laser
Engraving &
Marking
ORCATEK uses multiple laser platforms for industrial marking, engraving, serialization, product identification, panel marking, branding, and dedicated electrical wire marking.
Permanent Marking & Product Identification
Laser engraving and laser marking use focused light to mark, engrave, darken, remove, or alter a surface. The correct laser process depends on the material, coating, finish, desired contrast, durability requirement, and whether the goal is engraving, marking, annealing, ablation, or surface finishing.
ORCATEK supports practical laser work for identification plates, serialized components, product branding, panel marking, machine labels, manufacturing traceability, and dedicated electrical wire identification.
Different Lasers For Different Materials
Fibre Laser Marking
Fibre laser systems are commonly used for marking compatible metals, coated metals, anodized aluminum, serial plates, identification tags, and industrial components requiring permanent high-contrast marks.
Process Selection
Laser marking can involve surface removal, colour change, annealing, ablation, etching, or engraving depending on the material and desired result. Test samples are recommended when finish or contrast is critical.
Dedicated Wire Identification
UV Laser Wire Marking
ORCATEK provides dedicated laser marking support for electrical wires only. This process is ideal for identification, numbering, harness organization, and long-term readable electrical labeling.
Electrical Project Support
Laser wire marking improves organization, readability, traceability, and long-term identification compared with temporary labels or undocumented wiring systems.
How The Process Works
File Review
Artwork, vector files, serial numbers, wire ID lists, part photos, material type, or marking requirements are reviewed.
Setup
The part or wire is positioned, aligned, focused, and prepared using suitable settings for the material and desired mark.
Marking
The laser marks, engraves, etches, or alters the surface to create the required text, logo, ID, or traceability mark.
Inspection
The finished mark is reviewed for alignment, contrast, readability, durability, location, and project requirements.
Industrial, Product & Electrical Uses
Identification Plates
Laser marked plates, serial tags, machine labels, asset tags, product information plates, equipment identifiers, and technical panels.
Product Branding
Permanent logos, branded panels, product markings, presentation pieces, prototypes, and production components with professional identification.
Manufacturing Support
Part numbering, batch identification, inspection references, assembly markers, QR codes, directional labels, and production traceability.
Electrical Wire Marking
Wire numbering, circuit identification, project wiring references, harness ID, and clean labeling for electrical builds.
Material Compatibility Depends On The Laser And Surface
Laser marking results depend on laser type, surface finish, coating, colour, material composition, part geometry, and desired mark. Some materials engrave deeply, some mark by changing surface colour, and some require testing before production.
ORCATEK can review the part, plate, panel, product, or wire and confirm whether it is suitable for the required engraving, marking, surface removal, product identification, or technical labeling.
Good Marking Starts With Clean Artwork
Best File Types
Vector files usually produce the cleanest results. SVG, DXF, AI, EPS, and high-quality PDF artwork are preferred when available. High-resolution PNG files can also be used for some marking work.
Wire Label Data
For wire marking, provide the wire labels, sequence, wire gauge, wire type, label location, and whether markings need to repeat along the wire.
Setup, Artwork & Marking
Minimum Order
Base minimum charge for small engraving jobs, simple part marking, wire labels, or short setup projects.
Laser Work
Laser work is billed or quoted based on setup, marking time, part handling, wire setup, alignment, testing, and production requirements.
Production Marking
Batch engraving, serialized marking, wire marking, panels, plates, product marking, and repeat part marking are quoted by project scope.
Send The Artwork, Wire List, Part, Plate, Or Concept
ORCATEK can review your artwork, logo, wire list, dimensions, part photos, material, serial number list, or panel concept and help determine the best laser marking approach.
