Why metal likes 1064nm
Stainless, aluminium, copper and iron absorb 1064nm far better than UV or CO₂, so the fiber marker is fast and power-efficient on metal. That is why hardware, auto parts and tools industries almost uniformly use fiber laser markers.
Black, white and colour (MOPA)
Standard fiber does black, white and relief; MOPA fiber varies pulse width to oxidise gold, blue, red and green colours on stainless — no ink, no peeling. Colour marking is common on cookware, gifts and medical cosmetic parts.
Speed and area
The galvo sets speed, the field lens sets area. Common areas run 110×110mm to 300×300mm, power from 20W to 100W. For production lines choose higher power and a better galvo; 8-hour continuous stability is the key production metric.
Typical industries
Hardware tools, auto parts, machinery nameplates, electronics enclosures, cookware, jewellery and medical metal parts. For any logo, model, serial or QR code on metal, fiber is the workhorse.
Procurement Q&A
18-month warranty on the machine. Core parts like the laser source and galvo are replaceable standard parts with long-term supply, so repairs and swaps are documented.
Yes. Send a sample and we return a real test video within 24 hours and ship the part back. Key models get a 48-hour aging test, so you see the actual result on your own workpiece before deciding.

We have 3+ engineers, 7+ authorised patents and 5000+ units shipped. Standard parts like laser source and galvo are stocked long-term for predictable replenishment.
Price depends on the model (UV / fiber / CO₂), power, laser-source brand (Raycus / JPT / IPG) and configuration (galvo, field lens, control software). Zhongyi Laser lists the exact laser-source and galvo models on the quote and in the contract, so the configuration is verifiable and easy to reorder or replace later.
Standard machines ship in 7 days; rush orders in 3–5 days; custom non-standard builds in 15–30 days. Before production we confirm drawings, process and sample results to avoid rework.
Yes. A MOPA fiber switches between white, black and colour on metal by parameters alone — no ink, no head swap, fast job change.
Aluminium and copper dissipate heat fast and need higher power or pulse control; stainless and iron mark easily. 20–30W covers surface marking; 50–100W for deep engraving and cutting.
A larger field lens extends to 300×300mm or more, with slightly softer edges. For large areas with multiple parts, consider vision positioning or flying marking.
