Everything is possible:
Our laser engraving solutions for the mint industry
Whether laser-based die and minting tool production or direct processing of final
products such as coins, medals or circulation money; from the artist’s model through
the digitization and creation of security features and visual effects to laser engraving
and direct laser marking: FOBA’s workstations and machines for laser engraving and
the especially for and with the industry developed engraving process cover all industrial
requirements and technically feasible applications.
→ Laser deep engraving
By repeatedly removing layers of
material deep marks/engravings are
created.
→ Three-dimensional engraving
Depending on the component geometry
material layer by material layer is removed.
In contrast to laser deep engraving –
three-dimensional engraving is used to
precisely process more complex products
such as dies or tools.
→ Frosting
Frosting or matting involves direct laser
material processing of the final product
or minting tool for the creation of visual
effects.
→ Surface structuring
The laser applies previously precisely
defined (micro) structures and textures
to workpiece surfaces (injection mold
tools and minting tools).
Leaving our stamp on the industry for years:
The experts in deep engraving and laser marking
Experience leads to expertise at FOBA. For decades we have been working with laser
technology for deep engraving and have become specialists in this field. Laser engraving,
laser marking and engineering made in Germany. A global leader acclaimed as the
manufacturer of advanced, well-engineered laser marking and engraving solutions
since 1991 and in the future.
→ Micro engraving
Micro engraving is utilized to apply finest
and filigree structures to tools for minting
or jewelry manufacturing.
→ Laser latent image
Laser latent images are modern security
features that protect money and valuable
items against unauthorized reproduction
or misuse.
→ Smoothing
In order to improve the surface quality
and achieve long lifetimes of tools, the
laser finishes and smoothes previously
engraved areas.
→ Edge lettering
Laser engraving of the tools that are used
for edge lettering/edge inscription.
→ Direct marking
Finished medals, coins, watches and
jewelry are refined and directly marked by
means of laser direct marking – among
other things in edge (circumference) areas.
Focused on challenging applications
Past and present have always been closely linked. The
corner stones we set down just yesterday form the basis for
the significant new developments of tomorrow. Patented
technologies are the foundation of ideal solutions for our
clients. Today’s achievements would be inconceivable without
past accomplishments! We have focused on challenging
applications and complex tasks from the outset, a key
factor in our becoming the market leader for laser and deep
engraving in the mint industry. The challenges we set for
ourselves were always impressive. This applies to all areas
including grey scale or photo marking for ID cards and security
documents, day and night design in lacquer removal
on high quality plastic parts for the interior of cars or in
deep engraving in tool and mold and die industries.
The market leader for laser and deep engraving
in the mint industry
Our achievements have earned us our market leadership
in deep engraving. Our experts have been researching in this
field and contributing to its development for decades.
We have coined our reputation as pioneers of this discipline –
maintaining the Research and Development spirit to this
day, along with our unique status as the only manufacturer
with a global training, services, expertise and distribution

We support and develop the entire process
By setting high standards for ourselves, we constantly and
consistently challenge ourselves to provide new innovations.
The solutions we develop convince our worldwide clientele
that we understand their processes and speak their language.
The mint industry currently has over 40 FOBA 3D laser
engraving systems in service in sophisticated production
processes. We don’t simply deliver the machine. We support
and develop the entire process, from artwork creation and
configuration to the finished die and the subsequent direct
marking of the end product.
