Different techniques for Sheet Metal & Sheet Metal Details

Laser marking on sheet metal

Laser marking

Laser marking is used when the marking is to be permanent and follow the sheet metal part through further processing and assembly. The marking retains its readability even after bending and surface treatment. 

The technology provides an accurate and discreet result that works for both internal identification and final product information. 

Advantages: 

  • Permanent marking that withstands further processing 
  • High readability over time 
  • Accurate and consistent results 
  • Suitable for both small and large series

Inkjet marking on sheet metal

Inkjet printing

Inkjet marking is a flexible alternative in sheet metal production where parts move along the production line. Fast-drying inks provide clear markings even at high speeds. 

The marking is often used for order information or temporary identification in production. 

Advantages: 

  • Fast and flexible in-line labelling 
  • Works well at high line speeds 
  • Easy to customize as needed 
  • Contactless marking

Label marking on sheet metal

Labelling

Labelling is primarily used for temporary or supplementary marking of sheet metal parts, for example in logistics flows or intermediate warehouses. The information can be easily updated or removed at a later stage. 

The right labelling solution ensures that the marking remains in place during handling and transport. 

Advantages: 

  • Flexible labelling that can be easily changed 
  • Well suited for logistics and internal tracking 
  • No impact on the surface of the sheet metal 
  • Practical complement to permanent marking

Read more about Sheet Metal & Sheet Metal Details

Sheet metal and sheet metal parts are used in many parts of the metal industry, from enclosures and panels to load-bearing structures. The marking is used both for internal identification in production and for final product information.

The surfaces can vary greatly depending on the material and surface treatment, for example raw sheet metal, galvanized sheet metal or painted and powder-coated parts. To ensure that the information remains even after bending, assembly and transport, marking directly in the metal is often used, rather than labels that risk coming off.

By choosing a marking method that is adapted to the properties of the sheet metal, it is ensured that important information remains readable throughout the entire production chain.

Questions & Answers (FAQ)

Common information includes, for example, article numbers, order information, batch numbers, dimensions or production data, depending on how the marking is used in production.
Yes, both laser marking and inkjet marking can be used for marking larger sheet metal parts or sheet metal sheets, depending on the speed of production and durability requirements.
Yes, sheet metal can be marked before further processing. Laser marking is often used because the marking can remain readable even after bending or assembly.
When sheet metal parts are transported through production, inkjet marking (CIJ) is often used because the technology can apply information quickly directly into the flow.
Yes. Laser marking only affects the surface of the sheet metal and adds very little heat to the material. With the right settings, even thin sheet metal can be marked without deforming or affecting the shape or function of the component.
Yes, inkjet marking (CIJ) is sometimes used for internal marking of sheet metal parts before further processing or assembly. This type of marking can be used, for example, for production information or internal traceability in the manufacturing flow.
Yes. With laser marking, both barcodes and 2D codes, such as DataMatrix, can be marked directly on sheet metal parts. This makes it possible to link each part to production data, batch information or digital systems.
