Laser coding and marking solutions for vehicle parts
The safety standards of the automotive industry are among the highest of all. Vehicle components therefore have to be clearly identifiable and fully traceable. Our laser coding and marking systems reliably create permanent, durable markings.
Direct marking - non-contact and permanent
Laser marking in the automotive industry
Vehicle manufacturers and suppliers use markings and codes on vehicle components for quality assurance, among other things. This is why they mark the components directly during the production process (Direct Part Marking - DPM). This means that the components bear a unique part marking (serialization) right from the start, which allows them to be traced back to the production site without any gaps (Track & Trace). This means that all processes can be easily traced for quality assurance purposes. They can also be automatically fed into the production line in modern intralogistics processes. Codes and markings on vehicle components are also important to ensure that the supply chain and transport logistics function smoothly. Regulatory requirements that have to be taken into account include the basic specifications VDA 5005 and VDA 5510 and marking in accordance with the European REACH regulation for chemical products.
What is important for laser coding and marking solutions?
- Reliable work in industrial production
- Permanently durable part marking
- Fast, simple and economical coding and marking technologies
- Legal requirements (VDA 5005, VDA 5010, VDA 5510, REACH regulation)
Industrial laser coding and marking solutions are used in almost all areas of the automotive industry and its suppliers. A wide variety of vehicle parts are marked with codes and markings. These support the identification, tracking and management of vehicle parts along the entire production cycle and supply chain.
Application examples for component marking
- Non-contact direct marking (Direct Part Marking - DPM) of components with laser
- Marking of ceramic soot particle filters usingCO2 Laser
- Quality markings, defect markings and good part markings to provide information about the quality and condition of components
- Counterfeit protection for safety-relevant components
- Traceability and containment of defective batches
- Implementation of customer/legal specifications
Discover the various application possibilities of our industrial laser coding and marking solutions. They enable process-reliability, automation and traceability in the automotive industry.
In the basic specifications VDA 5005 and VDA 5510, the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry) prints processes and procedures for the traceability of vehicle parts and the identifiability of their technical design.
The basic specification VDA 5010, published by the VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry), provides information on relevant forms of delivery in the automotive industry.
