Class 1 Portable Laser Marking

VarioLase is designed for flexible on-site marking of bulky, heavy or fixed components. Its contact-based safety system helps provide Class 1 laser protection while allowing operators to mark parts directly in the production environment.

  • Portable, on-site marking system
  • Industrial fiber laser with 20W and 30W options
  • Integrated Class 1 safety through contact nose
  • Quick-change contact noses for different applications
  • Marks metals, plastics and composite materials
  • High-contrast marking including QR codes, barcodes and logos
  • User-friendly MV6 LaseControl software
  • Excellent readability and edge sharpness

Designed For

  • Medium and large fabrications
  • Heavy components
  • Large fabricated parts
  • Weldments
  • Machine frames
  • Castings and forgings
  • Steel structures
  • Hard-to-reach surfaces
  • Components that are difficult to move into a traditional laser cabinet

How It Marks

  • Laser engraving: Permanent visible indentation created through selective melting and vaporization.
  • Annealing laser marking: Permanent color marking on metal without material removal.
  • Foaming: Light-colored, slightly raised marks on plastics.

Easy Operation with MV6 LaseControl

MV6 LaseControl software allows users to create complete marking layouts in just a few steps. Common 1D and 2D codes can be generated directly in the software and added to the layout.

  • QR codes
  • Data Matrix codes
  • GS1 codes
  • Barcodes
  • Serial numbers
  • Date codes and variable data
  • Logos and graphics
  • Alphanumeric text

Integrated Safety System

The system includes an integrated safety seal in the contact nose. The laser activates only when the safety seal is ensured and all required safety indicators are active. An LED indicator on the handle shows the current device status at all times.

Contact Noses and Accessories

Interchangeable contact noses with a quick-change system allow the marking unit to adapt quickly to different part geometries and application requirements.

  • Contact noses for flat surfaces
  • Contact noses for round parts
  • Contact noses for cylindrical components
  • Custom contact noses for special applications
  • Optional magnetic holding device
  • Optional mobile trolley system
  • Optional integrated panel PC
  • Optional barcode scanner
  • Optional fume extraction system
  • Optional Class 1 tabletop enclosure system

VarioLase Portable Laser Marking FAQs

What is the Markator MV6 VarioLase?

The Markator MV6 VarioLase is a portable fiber laser marking system designed for permanent marking directly on medium-sized and large industrial components. Unlike traditional enclosed laser marking systems, it allows operators to bring the laser to the part rather than bringing the part to the laser.

Is the VarioLase a Class 1 laser marking system?

Yes. The VarioLase uses an integrated contact nose and safety system that helps ensure Class 1 laser operation during marking. The laser only activates when the required safety conditions are met.

What materials can the VarioLase mark?

The VarioLase can mark steel, stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, coated metals, many plastics and various industrial materials commonly used in manufacturing and fabrication.

What types of marks can the VarioLase create?

The system can create serial numbers, part numbers, Data Matrix codes, QR codes, GS1 codes, barcodes, logos, graphics, text and variable production data.

Can the VarioLase mark large parts?

Yes. The system is specifically designed for large or heavy components that are difficult to move into a traditional laser marking enclosure. Common applications include weldments, machine frames, steel structures and fabricated assemblies.

Can the VarioLase mark curved surfaces?

Yes. Different contact noses are available for flat, round and cylindrical surfaces, allowing consistent marking on a variety of part geometries.

What industries use portable laser marking systems?

Portable laser marking systems are commonly used in metal fabrication, aerospace, automotive, oil and gas, heavy equipment manufacturing, defense, energy and general industrial manufacturing.

What are the advantages of portable laser marking?

Portable laser marking allows operators to mark parts directly on the shop floor, reducing handling time, eliminating unnecessary movement of large components and improving production efficiency.

What laser power options are available?

The VarioLase is available with 20W and 30W fiber laser configurations depending on marking requirements and production needs.

Can the VarioLase create permanent traceability marks?

Yes. Fiber laser marking creates permanent, high-contrast marks that resist wear, heat, solvents and harsh industrial environments.

Does the VarioLase support UID and Data Matrix marking?

Yes. The system supports Data Matrix, UID, QR and barcode marking for asset tracking and traceability programs.

Is software included?

Yes. The system uses Markator MV6 LaseControl software, which allows users to create text, graphics, serial numbers, barcodes and 2D codes with an intuitive interface.

Can the VarioLase be used for part serialization?

Yes. Automatic serialization and variable data marking are supported, making the system suitable for manufacturing traceability applications.

What is the difference between the VarioLase and a traditional laser marking cabinet?

Traditional laser systems require parts to be loaded into an enclosure. VarioLase brings the laser to the part, making it ideal for large, heavy or fixed-position components.

How do I determine whether VarioLase is right for my application?

Rocklin Manufacturing can review your parts, marking requirements, materials and production workflow to determine whether the VarioLase is the best solution for your operation.
