Military laser marking and engraving is used to add graphics and text to parts and components included in military equipment, weapons, vehicles and aircraft. The applications vary greatly from basic UID Plates used on thermal imaging cameras to instructional information on compartment doors inside aircrafts.
Military equipment must sustain and endure under harsh conditions; which makes Laser Engraving the preferred method to apply permanent marking to parts as it does not fade or wear off the way stamping does.
The US DOD requires certain assets that qualify to be marked or tagged with a UID code, which is a 2D Data Matrix code in a standard format including some critical pieces of information such as Cage Code and Part Number. The requirement were established in a set of standards, most commonly known as MIL STD 130.
UID codes are useless if they are unreadable and not all lasers can mark effectively to receive an Grade A mark. Laseraxis has a wide array of lasers that are tuned to accommodate these requirements.
Laseraxis produces MIL STD 130 compliant UID Plates and Labels for some of the largest Defense suppliers in the US, our experience and quality gives our customers confidence they are receiving exactly what was specified.
