Laser Marking in Photonics and Medical Technology
Precision at the Speed of Light – for Optical Components and Medical Devices.
FOS Inon Fiber Optics combines advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure the highest precision and quality in both the marking and production of components.
At FOS Inon Fiber Optics, highly specialized laser technology meets engineering know-how in photonics. With our precise laser marking processes—such as Nd:YAG lasers—we set standards in the permanent, material-friendly, and high-resolution marking of optical and medical components.
Our infrastructure facilitates not only the engraving-free marking of sensitive optical components but also depth-accurate engravings where required—always with a focus on functionality, legibility, and traceability.
Laser Marking for Medical Technology
In medical technology, traceability is not a “nice-to-have” but a regulatory mandate. We implement biocompatible, permanent UDI (Unique Device Identification) markings on stainless steel, titanium, and high-performance plastics. These markings are integrated directly into the material structure, ensuring they are abrasion-resistant and suitable for sterilization. Complex geometries or coated surfaces pose no obstacle for our laser-based processes.
Precision Marking for Photonic Components
In photonics, every micrometer counts—especially when marking optical assemblies, mounts, lens barrels, or fiber modules. Our laser marking is contactless, distortion-free, and has a minimal heat-affected zone to avoid compromising optical properties. Logos, serial numbers, calibration marks, or polarity indicators are realized with the highest resolution, even on demanding materials like anodized aluminum, stainless steel, or engineering plastics.
