✅ Picosecond laser: the technology that changes the way of engraving steel and hard metals
Those who engrave metals such as steel know well how important it is to have a reliable, precise and fast machine. The THETA machining center was created precisely for this reason: a complete system that allows you to automate the engraving process, obtain perfect results and stand out for quality.
The heart of the machine is the picosecond laser: a technology that works in a thousand times shorter time than traditional lasers, offering a concrete advantage in every phase of processing.
➡️ Why
choose a picosecond laser
- More precision: the brevity of the pulse allows for a clear engraving, without smudges or shadow areas. The detail is always sharp, even in micro-engravings.
- More depth: the laser easily enters hard metals, such as stainless steel, with deep and long-readable engravings, ideal for identification codes, serial numbers or functional markings.
- Less thermal stress: processing is so rapid that no heat is transferred to the material. No deformation, no burning, no risk of ruining the piece.
- More quality, less rework: each piece is engraved uniformly. There is no need to check and correct, with a real saving on production times and costs.
➡️ Intelligent surface detection with laser scanner
The THETA model is equipped with a laser scanner that automatically detects the shape of the surface of the piece.
This is a concrete advantage, especially on materials that are not perfectly flat, curved or slightly deformed. The system maps the surface precisely and transmits the data to the laser head.
For this reason, the picosecond focal length can faithfully follow the detected profile, adapting the focus in real time. The result is an engraving that is always uniform, precise and deep, even on complex geometries.
➡️ Automatic centering of the piece
Thanks to the integrated camera, THETA recognizes the position of the piece and automatically centers the area to be engraved. Setup time is drastically reduced and the risk of human error is eliminated.
➡️ Flexible in every sector
- Mechanical industry: coining with low roughness index and deep engravings on tools and structural components.
- Medical sector: precise laser markings on surgical instruments and implants, even on curved surfaces or delicate
- Jewellery and watches: very high definition micro-engravings, with details that are always legible and impeccable.
THETA is the right choice for those looking for a solid, automated machine ready to work consistently.
The difference is made by the picosecond laser: more than a technical detail, it is the guarantee of a superior result.
