Precision Etching Solutions Tailored to Your Production Line
When product traceability and marking accuracy are non-negotiable, robotic laser etching delivers.
Melton Machine & Control Company designs custom laser etching robots built to apply permanent, high-quality markings across a range of materials, without slowing your line down. These robotic solutions add logos, serial numbers, part IDs, two-D matrix codes, QR codes, UPC codes, other bar codes, and other detailed etchings with consistency, even on high-volume runs.
Every Melton system is engineered for the real-world needs of your operation. Whether you’re marking small components or large assemblies, our robotic laser etching solutions bring the precision, speed, and adaptability your process demands.
Permanent Markings With Automated Excellence
Laser etching is a precise process that creates permanent surface markings without compromising the material’s integrity. With robotic automation, these tasks can be performed at scale, reliably, and repeatedly, while freeing your operators to focus on higher-value work.
Melton builds each robotic etching solution to meet your specific requirements, integrating seamlessly with your existing manual assembly or robotic handling systems. From metals and plastics to coated materials and composites, our solutions are flexible enough to handle a variety of substrates while maintaining the level of detail your products require.
Why Automate Your Laser Etching Process?
Manual marking methods leave room for inconsistency and human error. Robotic laser etching systems from Melton solve these challenges, helping your production maintain quality and efficiency without adding complexity.
Key advantages of laser etching automation include:
- Consistent Etch Quality: Robotic control applies the same level of detail across every part, eliminating variation and reducing marking defects.
- High-Speed Marking: Automated systems keep up with fast-paced production schedules, even in high-volume environments.
- Material Versatility: Etch barcodes, serial numbers, logos, and product information on metals, plastics, ceramics, and more.
- Labor Efficiency: Reduce manual marking labor and reassign your team to more technical roles within your operation.
- Integrated Safety Features: Built-in safeguards help protect operators while allowing robots to work safely alongside your workforce.
Melton’s approach to automation centers on delivering systems that fit your manufacturing process—not the other way around.
