Fibre laser engraving for unique numbering on metal parts
At Vanco Studio we offer professional fibre laser engraving for companies that need to control and register each metal part with a unique number. This type of permanent marking is ideal for parts such as nuts, specialised fasteners or technical components where traceability and precise identification are critical for quality, maintenance and logistics.
Introduction
At Vanco Studio we offer professional fibre laser engraving for companies that need to control and register each metal part with a unique number. This type of permanent marking is ideal for parts such as nuts, specialised fasteners or technical components where traceability and precise identification are critical for quality, maintenance and logistics.
What is fibre laser engraving?
Fibre laser engraving is a process for permanent marking on metals and technical materials using a high-density laser that alters the metal surface without inks or adhesives. The result is a legible, durable and wear-resistant number, text or code, ideal for industrial applications.
Why number each part with a unique code
Individually numbering parts such as nuts or mechanical components provides real benefits in professional projects:
- Complete traceability: know exactly when and where each part was installed.
- Quality control: identify batches that may show faults or abnormal wear.
- Inventory management: automated tracking in ERP systems or databases.
- Predictive maintenance: record replacements and the actual service life of each element.
How the fibre laser marking process works
The process begins with a design file that defines the numbering, format and engraving position on the part. In our workshop in Girona, we prepare each job to ensure the laser works precisely on the correct material. The fibre laser heats and alters the metal surface only where we want the number to appear, creating a deep, defined and durable mark.
This system uses no inks or consumable materials, which means the marking does not wear away with use or change with environmental exposure.
In the photo above you can see the result of a numbering job on nuts using a fibre laser. Each nut has a unique number "chosen by the customer" engraved in high definition. This type of marking is especially useful when the parts form part of a larger assembly that requires individual tracking.
Common mistakes and how to avoid them
When ordering fibre laser marking, it is essential to:
- Define precisely the position and size of the number according to the dimensions of the part.
- Provide files or lists in order with the numbers to be engraved.
- Test on a pilot part when manufacturing tolerances are very strict.
At Vanco Studio we advise you at every step, from file preparation to final verification.
