What is a mobile fiber laser?

A mobile fiber laser is a powerful and versatile engraving machine that allows you to mark or engrave metals directly on location. In contrast to traditional fixed laser engraving machines, a mobile variant offers maximum flexibility. Whether it is serial numbers on parts, logos on tools or precision engraving on jewelry: a mobile fiber laser combines speed, ease of use and razor-sharp results. In this article we explain exactly what a mobile fiber laser is, how it works and what advantages it offers for different sectors.

What is a fiber laser?

A fiber laser is a type of industrial laser that uses a glass fiber cable (fiber) as an amplifier medium. This makes the laser beam extremely stable, powerful and accurate. Fiber lasers have a very long lifespan, require little maintenance and deliver consistent quality.

Compared to CO₂ or diode lasers, the fiber laser has a much higher marking speed and is ideally suited for engraving and marking metal surfaces such as stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and brass.

What makes a fiber laser mobile?

A standard fiber laser usually consists of a large workstation with a fixed table and housing. A mobile fiber laser , such as our HFL30 , is designed for maximum freedom and ease of use:

• Compact, lightweight design
• Manually operated laser head
• Suitable for direct marking of large or solid objects
• Perfect for use on location, for example at customers' premises, in workshops or on construction sites

Applications of a mobile fiber laser

The application possibilities of a mobile fiber laser are wide and versatile:

• Engraving of serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes and CE markings
• Marking of machine parts, tools and industrial components
• Personalizing jewelry, watches or promotional gifts
• Creating clear identification and traceability for manufacturing companies

For example, the Fire Feather HFL30 is widely used by metalworking companies, machine builders, jewelers and industrial service providers.

Advantages of a mobile fiber laser

• Complete flexibility: you can engrave anywhere without moving the product
• Time and cost saving: no hassle with transport or disassembly
• Durable, permanent markings on virtually any metal
• Minimal wear and low maintenance costs thanks to modern fiber technology
