Our Proprietary Laser Marking System: LaserEdge

SiTECH has been at the forefront of laser marking for years now, and we know the value it brings to a variety of industries. So, what is it all about? Well, it’s a process that, using a beam of light, makes a permanent mark on surfaces of all types.

Here are some facts about the process:

  1. It’s performed with either fiber, pulsed, or continuous wave laser machine.
  2. The process can be used in anything from keypad design to engraving.
  3. It can be used on a plethora of materials, such as silicone, steel, titanium, aluminum, plastic, copper, ceramic, glass and wood.
  4. It works well with all of SiTECH’s systems, acting as a complement to our screened silicone inks, abrasion-resistant coatings, chemical-resistant coatings, adhesive primer processes and liquid injection molding processes.
  5. It allows us to create custom key shapes and elaborate legends affordably so the end product is personalized.
  6. Offers a low-cost solution within high-usage applications.

Why We Use LaserEdge

We long ago made this our trusted laser marking system, specifically because it was designed so well for seamless use in silicone keypad applications. In fact, it’s particularly great for applications that require backlighting, marking key tops easily and accurately, and doing so without changing in any way the underlying color or damaging the silicone.
