ORION Compact Laser Marking & Engraving Machine for Small Parts

Q: What is the Markolaser ORION laser machine?

The Markolaser ORION laser machine is a highly compact, modular, tabletop laser machine designed specifically for small individual parts, prototyping, and low-volume production with accuracy, repeatability, and top-tier quality.

Q: What materials and laser processes can the ORION handle?

Markolaser's ORION seamlessly handles metals, alloys, engineered polymers, ceramics, and graphic composites. Available processes include high-precision surface marking, micro-engraving, deep engraving, micro-drilling, fine cutting, surface ablation, and paint removal.

Q: In which industries is the ORION laser machine used?

Jewelry & Watchmaking: Micro-engraving, hallmarking, and thin filigree cutting on gold and silver. Tool & Toolroom Industries: Serialization on cutting bits, calipers, and small hardware components. Electronics & Medical Devices: Markings on plastic enclosures, microchips, and surgical implants.

Q: Which laser sources can ORION be configured with?

Depending on material processing requirements, the cabinet can be configured with multiple European-sourced laser wavelengths, including IR (Infrared/Fiber), UV (Ultraviolet), CO₂, and Green lasers.

Q: What is the price of the Markolaser ORION?

The price depends on the laser source and power. As a guide, an ORION with a [20 W fiber] laser typically costs between 1.3-1.65 million INR. UV, green and CO₂ configurations are priced on request. Contact us with your part and material for an exact quote.

Q: Can I send a sample part for a trial marking before buying?

Yes. We will mark it on ORION and share the results, so you can check quality before you commit.

Q: What is the delivery time, and do you install and train?

Typical delivery is aproximately 6-8 weeks. Installation and operator training are included across India and for export customers.

Q: What is ORION's marking area?

The marking field is 175 × 175 mm with the standard lens.

Q: What is the maximum part size and weight?

ORION takes parts up to 200 X 150 X 250 mm and under 15 kg.

Q: Can ORION do deep engraving and 3D engraving?

Yes. With the motorised Z-axis, ORION can import STL files and engrave in layers, slice by slice. That makes it suited to coin dies, punch dies and moulds.

Laser Marking Machine for Small Parts, Prototypes and Short Runs

ORION is a compact, Class 1 enclosed laser marking and engraving machine by Markolaser, built for small parts, prototyping and short production runs. It can be configured with a fiber, UV, green or CO₂ laser source to mark, engrave, deep-engrave, micro-drill and cut metals, plastics, ceramics and composites. ORION takes parts up to 250 × 250 × 150 mm and under 15 kg, and is designed and manufactured in India.

Flexibility

Quick Part Change and easy operational area access makes Orion very user friendly and perfect for prototyping requirements. Since Orion can accommodate a variety of laser sources, you get the flexibility to process all materials by selecting appropriate configuration.

ORION Laser Marking and Engraving Samples

Deep laser engraving by Orion on a coin die

Deep 3D relief engraved into a hardened steel coin die on ORION lasers. The motorised Z-axis steps down layer by layer from an STL file, cutting the design directly into the die with no EDM or hand finishing

A punch die engraved on ORION with a crisp, permanent mark that holds up under repeated stamping. Laser engraving replaces manual engraving for short runs and prototype tooling, and each die can be changed over in minutes.

Steel Bearing Laser Marking | Markolaser ORION

Part number and code laser-marked on a curved steel bearing race using Markolaser's ORION fiber laser. The mark is high-contrast and wear-resistant, with no ink or labels, and it doesn't affect the bearing's surface finish or tolerance.

Deep laser engraving on brass coin die by Orion

Fine relief detail deep-engraved into a brass coin die on ORION. Brass engraves cleanly, keeping sharp edges and smooth floors, which makes ORION suited to minting, medallions and jewellery tooling

ORION Laser Marking Software

Smart features to deliver flexible, efficient and reliable laser marking for modern manufacturing needs.

3D marking with Z-axis focus shift in the laser marking software

3D Marking Functionality

Load 3D data and mark curved or uneven parts. ORION's optional motorised Z-axis shifts the focal point, so the mark stays sharp across the part's height. This is useful for deep engraving and for marking 3D surfaces such as dies and bearings.

3D engraving from sliced STL file in the laser marking software

3D Engraving from STL Files

Import STL or CLI files and engrave them layer by layer. The software slices the model, and ORION's Z-axis steps down between slices. This produces relief and step engravings like the coin and punch die samples above.

Marking on the Fly

Mark parts while they move in the X or Y direction, or in both at once in some setups. On ORION, this pairs with the rotary split axis to mark cylindrical parts in a single run.

Stand-Alone Mode

ORION's controller can run without a PC, taking commands such as Start Mark or Get Time over an Ethernet Telnet interface or an RS232 ASCII terminal. This suits repeat short runs and simple integration with lab or shop-floor equipment.

Customizable client control interface of the laser software

Custom Client Interface

The operator screen can be simplified to the controls your team actually uses. On a shared prototyping or R&D machine, this means fewer settings for operators to get wrong.

Two laser heads controlled from one process window

Dual-Head Control

Run more than one laser head from a single process window. This is useful when ORION is part of a larger setup alongside other Markolaser machines.

Advanced Features

Client Control Interface

Mark on the fly (MOTF) Splitting functionality

3D Free Form

Supported File Formats (Adobe Illustrator, DXF, etc)

Motion Controls

Multi Head option

Stand Alone functionality
