A virtual event in May to discover how die-cast components are engraved
This two-day event will be like a virtual one-to-one meeting between customers and one of Lasit's sales agents and specialized laser technician. This way, guests can solve their doubts and learn more about this world. Plus, they can ask any question about laser engraving die-cast components or how to obtain permanent engravings. Guests will discover how not to jeopardize laser engraving results after invasive processes, such as sandblasting and shot peening.
Stay in touch to be always up-to-date with LASIT. They'll email you the instructions on how to book a virtual visit to the laser engraving workshop. Moreover, you’ll have the possibility to read foundry-related content every week before the event.

What are the benefits if you register?
If you work in the foundry industry, you cannot miss any of the things that will happen before the event in May. The first event for registered people is dedicated to laser engraving for traceability purposes and 2D codes.
Check out Lasit's Youtube Channel: they have prepared a series of videos about laser engraving die-cast components. Search for the 1-minute Laser videos on YouTube. Every week, they post a video about die-cast components. These 1-minute videos summarize important information and present the event that will take place in May. Mario Palmieri, Lasit's laser application expert, will address the following topics:
- Laser engraving for traceability purposes
- 2D codes between myths and legends
- Robot integration for handling diecast components
- Presandblasting laser engraving
- 3D marking with a 3axis laser head for irregular components
If you register, you’ll receive the above material before the event, even if you can’t attend. You can decide whether to participate or enjoy the content you received via email upon registration. The content will always be available, so you can read it any time you want.
What are you waiting for? The first video on Traceability and 2D codes is coming soon
Laser engraving die-cast components
A few years ago, laser marking unfinished components when they were just out of the die was impossible because of the loss of quality caused by the subsequent treatments. This happened mostly on DataMatrix codes. Today, thanks to high-performance lasers and optimal technical parameters, Lasit can ensure complete traceability by marking components immediately after they come out from the die. This way, DataMatrix codes are always legible even after invasive processes, such as sandblasting and shot peening.
Lasit has developed different standalone and automated solutions through in-line laser integration. These solutions include: 24 systems – developed over the last ten years – that allow for loading and unloading during machining; 5 special stations to be integrated into automated islands, whose strength is the productivity resulting from the cooperation of robots.
- Bespoke software: we develop data management software
- Autofocus system integrated into the marker
Vision systems for centering and checking code quality
Pre-sandblasting laser engraving
Die-cast components undergo different processes, such as sandblasting and shot peening, which are necessary yet invasive, as they risk making the DataMatrix code illegible.
Lasit has developed a strategy to prevent the DataMatrix code from becoming illegible after various processes. People at Lasit managed to do this thanks to deep engravings and specific parameters and shapes for die-cast components. 100W, 200W or 300W lasers are those we used the most as they also ensure extreme speed.
