Fastener Laser Head Marking - UC Components, Inc.

Where Vacuum Integrity Meets Permanent Identification

UC Components’ laser head marking service is a seamless extension of our proprietary RediVac® process, delivering unmatched control, traceability, and assurance. This precision marking adds permanent, high-contrast identifiers – like part numbers, kit IDs, or QR codes – directly onto screw heads without compromising cleanliness. Using either laser engraving or annealed marking, each identifier is applied under strict cleanroom protocols that reflect the same standards of precision and reliability as RediVac® – the result: enhanced supply chain efficiency with less risk and greater confidence for clean-critical environments.

Two Methods, One Goal: Permanent, Cleanroom-Compatible Identification

ENGRAVING

Durable, High-Contrast Identification

Laser engraving removes material from the fastener head to create deep, permanent marks that withstand harsh environments, coatings, and frequent handling. Ideal for metals like Inconel, 304SS, and 316SS, these marks resist wear, solvents, and heat – ensuring reliable traceability in semiconductor and high-purity manufacturing.

ANNEALED MARKING

Surface Integrity and Cleanroom Safety

Annealed marking uses controlled heat to oxidize the metal surface, creating smooth, corrosion-resistant IDs without removing material. Ideal for uncoated stainless steel, this method preserves surface integrity – minimizing contamination risk in cleanroom and high-purity environments.

Both methods meet the demands of high-spec applications without compromising surface integrity.

Protect High-Value Parts with Permanent, Traceable ID

Laser head marking helps reduce cost and risk when working with high-value components like Inconel or custom-finished stainless steel. By engraving permanent IDs directly onto the fastener, you eliminate issues with lost, mislabeled, or contaminated parts – especially during processes like electropolishing, vacuum baking, or coating.

Traceability That Prevents Errors and Off-Spec Hardware

Unique IDs and QR codes enable full traceability – linking parts to specific lots, vendors, or assemblies. This helps prevent mix-ups, ensures spec compliance, and supports quality assurance across complex supply chains.

Laser Marking, Engineered to RediVac® Standards

Our laser head marking service is performed under strict, clean-handling protocols before cleaning, packaging, and vacuum sealing. This ensures each part arrives cleanroom-ready with permanent identification already in place – no extra handling, no risk of contamination.

Cleanroom-Ready Confidence

Designed for those working with critical hardware across various clean-critical industries, our laser marking ensures traceability, reduces error, and supports compliance across your entire fastener inventory—from sensitive components and valuable alloys to complex sub-assemblies.
