Our equipment supports fine identification, larger graphics, individual parts and production runs. We use laser systems, mechanical engraving equipment and industrial printing processes to meet different material and marking requirements.
Multiple workholding options for varied part shapes, surfaces and marking locations.
Prototype work, batch marking and recurring orders supported by production fixtures.
Inside our shop
Selected equipment from our shop.
Adjustable-column marking stations
Laser marking workstations
Multiple marking stations with adjustable vertical columns, work tables and computer controls. Workholding and mark access are considered together when setting up a part.
We select the setup for the part dimensions, marking surface and order quantity.
Tell us what you need marked ↗Galvanometer scan heads & fixture tables
Galvo laser marking systems
The scan heads direct the laser beam across the marking field. Adjustable columns and fixture tables support positioning; the pictured vise provides another way to hold suitable components.
Controlled layouts for part numbers, logos and identification, with the process selected for the material and finish.

Rotary workholding for suitable round parts
Laser station with rotary chuck
A rotary chuck holds a cylindrical component and provides rotational positioning. Part diameter, length, grip area and mark coverage determine whether this setup fits the job.
An additional workholding option for round components that need identification in a defined location.
Tell us what you need marked ↗Production marking in action
Watch a laser process parts arranged in a multi-position fixture. A defined setup helps present each component consistently to the marking system.
For your job, we review part orientation, spacing, mark access and handling requirements before setting up the batch.
Explore laser marking ↗Personalization, branding and industrial identification
Names, artwork, logos and identification for personal items and business projects. Tell us the material, dimensions and finish so we can review the right engraving or printing process.
Part identification, serialization and drawing-controlled marking for components and assemblies. Include flowdowns, traceability records and required acceptance criteria.
Identification for suitable instrument and device components. Material condition, cleaning and customer validation requirements guide the marking review.
Housings, panels, fittings, sensors, tooling and equipment identification. From one-off fixtures to recurring production lots, define the mark around its use.
Production requirements and inspection
Start with the current drawing revision, material and finish. Establish mark location, artwork, acceptance criteria and any record requirements during quote review.
Identify sample or first-piece approval needs before production. Confirm the appearance and layout, plus symbol verification or other inspection when required.
Reference the agreed artwork and part revision on repeat orders. Communicate changes to finish, numbering, packaging or downstream processing before the next batch.
