Leave it to the leading U.S. laser manufacturer to improve on a good thing. LaserStar, a driver in marketplace innovation of laser welders and laser markers, continues to push the edge by expanding product capabilities and developing advanced features on their latest laser marking products, all while reducing the out-of-pocket cost for retailers. Understanding that retailers need tools to build additional revenue streams beyond finished goods sales was a driving factor when developing our new laser marking products, and today retailers of all sizes are the beneficiary of a company that cares.

Continuing along the line of product and process improvement, LaserStar introduces a fiber laser marking and engraving system that is becoming commonplace across many industries, including fine jewelry. The system offers a non-contact, abrasion resistant permanent laser mark onto almost any material with high speed and incredible precision. The fiber laser marking system uses focused light that interacts with a material to produce a permanent mark. The system also offers laser engraving and laser machining capabilities, including thin material cutting, scribing and material removal.

“This laser marking system can mark on almost any material and is very good at engraving on cylindrical items such as rings, which is why companies like Tiffany, David Yurman, Kabana, Simon G, Kurt Gaum, Tessler & Weiss, IGI, Fable Designs, Heavy Stone Rings, Herff Jones and many others have become LaserStar customers,” states James Gervais, President & C.O.O.

Fiber Laser Marking

While fiber laser marking isn’t brand new technology, LaserStar is proud to be the first manufacturer to bring it to the fine jewelry industry at an affordable price. Historical pricing for a machine like this was around the $60,000 range. Today LaserStar offers the same technology starting at $34,000 and as with all technology pricing seems to go down as technology improves. They will also be introducing new product packaging making it easier for the operator to use, along with a software upgrade and enlarged chamber size. This system was introduced at the JCK Las Vegas Show in June.

Fiber laser marking allows retailers to literally load large sheets of gold and populate the machine with 15-20 names for laser cutting and walk away. In a few hours the entire cutting job will be done. Retailers can mark text, graphics, logos, barcodes and data-matrix codes, all in an automated process.

Operated by LaserStar’s Laser Marking Software, the system operates on a Windows operating system. Installing the software is easy and only takes minutes, and once installed it will automatically detect the FiberStar® Laser Marking System via USB connection.

FiberStar® Laser Marking Systems are a maintenance free, air-cooled laser marking system that offers extreme precision with a high beam quality. It will mark on different colors of titanium and stainless steel and has increased power for deep laser engraving. Controlling spot size is another new feature that allows retailers to mark on items as small as an earring post.

Gervais describes the ‘power of hot light’ saying, “laser heat is so localized that it only hits the target area without damaging the stones or surrounding metals. There is no damage, no fire scale, no contact with the piece. It is just hot light that we are manipulating.”
