Engrave Round Parts With 20w Fiber Laser Marking Machine

Product marking is one of the most useful and exciting applications of laser. Along with other benefits, it has made engraving possible on rough and uneven surfaces and on different shapes. In this article we are going to find out how to process round objects with 20w fiber laser marking machine.

The device necessary for processing circled parts is called rotary fixture. This is an attachment for a fiber laser marking machine that makes it possible to engrave round, conical or cylindrical objects.

How Is It Possible?

The marking head of any modern fiber laser engraver moves in X and Y directions, providing the automated work of the device. With the rotary fixture installed, the head is not moving in Y direction. Instead, the part itself is rotating with the speed matching the speed of fiber laser marking.
