The Benefits of Using a Fiber Laser Marking System

As is detailed on each of our product pages, all of our laser systems are manufactured with a high-powered MOPA fiber laser engine. But what exactly does that mean for you?

For starters, MOPA stands for “Master Oscillator Power Amplifier.” To keep it simple, it’s what gives our systems the capability and performance that exceeds other lasers.

MOPA fiber lasers are the most reliable laser marking technology available today, providing clean, distinct marks, optimal repeatability, and efficient operation. Keep reading to discover all fiber laser marking can do for your facility and even your home!

Key Advantages of a MOPA Fiber Laser Marking Machine

Fiber laser technology offers the perfect solution for marking on any difficult materials, such as gold and nickel plating, plastics, PCB and other sensitive materials and layers. Ablating of anodized and painted surfaces, smooth finishing of deep engravings, and annealing for medical devices can also be performed.

Utilizing a MOPA fiber laser also means you will have access to a dynamic combination of high peak power and optimized beam quality, which is ideal for deep engraving. That near perfect beam quality and the small spot sizes allows for micro markings with quality and precision as well.

Other advantages for fiber laser marking include:

• High output power, high optical quality, and a compact size
• Cleaner mark edges and faster marking speeds
• Reliability and a lower cost of ownership

Plus, you’ll get the very best in efficiency. Fiber lasers are up to ten times more efficient than traditional YAG laser systems, and they use little to no energy in standby mode.

Fiber Laser Systems vs. YAG Laser Systems

Some of the ways MOPA fiber laser marking machines outclass YAG laser systems include:

• YAG lasers’ bulbs have a short lifespan and require frequent replacement, compared to the long lifespan available from MOPA fiber lasers
• YAG lasers generate a large amount of heat which not only makes them less efficient, but also requires water cooling measures to keep them operational. TYKMA Electrox’s units are much more efficient and require only air cooling
• Due to those issues above, YAG lasers require significant maintenance, whereas our MOPA fiber laser engravers are virtually maintenance free
• Fiber lasers also outperform YAG lasers due to having a higher beam quality and lower power consumption

3D Fiber Lasers

Another key benefit to using the fiber lasers from TYKMA Electrox is being able to incorporate 3D laser marking into your processes. 3D marking can help you mark around spherical, round, and conical shapes, on sloped and slanted surfaces, on “stairstep” parts, and more!
