Customer Background

A tire manufacturer was facing a common challenge in daily production: how to apply permanent identification marks on different types of tires while maintaining clear marking quality.

As tires are made from rubber materials with uneven and curved surfaces, traditional marking methods can have limitations. Ink-based printing may encounter issues such as poor adhesion, fading, or additional maintenance caused by ink and solvent usage. For this customer, a more durable and flexible marking method was needed to print production information, identification codes, and traceability marks directly onto tires.

After comparing different marking solutions, the customer chose the CYCJET M20 handheld laser marking machine to upgrade their tire marking process.

The Marking Challenge on Rubber Surfaces

Tires are different from flat products. Their curved structure makes positioning more difficult, especially when marking different sizes and models. The customer needed equipment that could be easily adjusted according to production requirements without complicated installation or fixed workstations.

The CYCJET M20 provided a practical solution. Its handheld design allows operators to move the marking unit directly to the tire surface, making it suitable for various tire specifications and production environments.

CYCJET M20 Laser Marking Solution

During operation, the M20 uses laser technology to create permanent marks on the tire surface without ink or ribbons. The marking content can include serial numbers, batch information, logos, and QR codes, helping manufacturers improve product identification and traceability.

Compared with traditional printing methods, laser marking avoids problems related to ink drying, replacement of consumables, and unclear codes caused by surface wear. The marked information remains visible during long-term use, which is especially important for products such as tires that need to withstand outdoor conditions.

For this customer, the biggest improvement was the flexibility of the marking process. Operators could quickly switch between different tire models and complete marking tasks without adjusting complex equipment settings.

Why the Customer Selected CYCJET M20

The customer selected the M20 mainly because of three factors:

• Portable operation: The handheld design makes it easy to use in different production areas.
• Permanent marking effect: Laser engraving provides long-lasting identification on rubber surfaces.
• Lower operating costs: No ink or consumable materials are required during the marking process.

After implementation, the CYCJET M20 helped the customer establish a more stable tire marking process while reducing the maintenance work associated with traditional coding methods.

For tire manufacturers looking for a flexible way to add permanent identification marks, the CYCJET M20 handheld laser marking machine provides a reliable option for improving production traceability and marking quality.
