Buying help
Cougartron marking systems can be used for logos, serial numbers, QR codes, maker’s marks, batch data, product names and part IDs on conductive metal surfaces.
Electrochemical marking can be used on conductive metal surfaces including stainless steel, aluminium, mild steel, copper and titanium. Laser marking can also be used on a wide range of metals and treated surfaces depending on the setup.
Choose electrochemical marking when you want stencil-based marking or etching with marking fluids and consumables. Choose laser marking when you need direct, permanent part identification such as serial numbers, QR codes, batch data and traceability marks.
You need a stencil printer when using electrochemical marking for repeat marks, logos, QR codes, text or production data. Laser marking does not use physical stencils.
Choose marking fluid by material and process. Stainless steel, aluminium and titanium can require different marking fluids, so check the product page or ask us before ordering.
In some cases, yes. Marking and etching sets are available for compatible Cougartron weld cleaning setups. Check compatibility before ordering.
