The systems are said to accelerate customization workflows for drinkware producers.
ORLANDO, Fla.—Laser Photonics Corporation (LPC) and its subsidiary, Control Micro Systems, Inc. (CMS Laser), recently introduced their Tumbler Laser Engraving Machines, the companies said in a joint release.
By enabling high-volume customization with speed and precision, the systems are reported to help companies strengthen brand visibility and foster deeper customer engagement. According to the release, they empower businesses “to accept and process large custom orders in record time, transforming ordinary drinkware into impactful brand statements with personalized text, striking logos, and intricate designs.”
CMS Laser’s automated laser marking machines for cylindrical products are said to “supercharge customization workflows for drinkware producers.” The machines leverage the precision of CO2 laser marking and CMS Laser’s advanced proprietary software to create permanent impressions on the surface of tumblers. They use a non-contact laser ablation technique that produces markings without compromising the integrity of the underlying metal, the release stated. By using the focused energy of light, this method is said to foster resource efficiency and promote sustainable practices in industrial marking.
Whether it’s a perfectly placed complex corporate emblem, essential product information, or a captivating design wrapping the entire cylinder, the result is consistently exceptional in clarity, contrast, and uniformity, according to LPC and CMS Laser.
“Laser technology, paired with intelligent automation, greatly speeds up product personalization,” stated LPC Executive Vice President John Armstrong, in the release. “At Laser Photonics and CMS Laser, we are pioneering a world where every tumbler becomes a canvas for corporate storytelling and expression, delivering an end-to-end solution for cylindrical product manufacturing that is helping etch the future of brand engagement.”
The machine is said to seamlessly integrate the core technologies of advanced lasers, precision optics, and intelligent robotics, all orchestrated by integrated machine vision. This ensures “flawless alignment of the marking area and consistently uniform and repeatable results” on every product, the release stated.
Whether it’s marking acrylic, enamel, powder coating, or epoxy, the Tumbler Laser Engraving Machine incorporates a fume extraction process to capture vaporized particles released during the marking process. These particles are trapped by the filtration system, preventing equipment contamination and ensuring a cleaner, healthier operating environment with minimized maintenance. Beyond the easily replaceable fume extractor filters, minimal consumables are needed, translating to low operating costs and maximized production uptime, the release said.
Laser Photonics Corporation, leveraging CMS Laser’s expertise, is strategically investing in cutting-edge research and development for laser marking of tumblers and other cylindrical products. This initiative is said to be well-aligned with “LPC’s broader diversification strategy, aimed at enhancing shareholder value and building resilience in dynamic markets.”
