High-speed OEM laser marking system

1 October 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Lasit’s OEM laser marking system is now available in 20, 30, 50, 100, 200 watts, and produces permanent, high contrast marks (surface and to a depth of 0,5 mm) on metals such as steel, aluminium (coated as well as uncoated), carbide, graphite and plastics. Capable of marking any graphic, logo, 2D matrix, bar codes and alphanumerics, it provides up to 100 000 hours of maintenance free operation.

The system contains a fully air-cooled ytterbium Q-switched fibre laser with M 2 beam quality less than 1,05. The system comes with Lasit’s scan head as well as user friendly Windows-based FlyCad and FlyControl software. FlyCad emulates ‘AutoCad’ type function, which provides full drawing capability. FlyControl provides motor and scan head control as well as diagnostic software, which can be accessed remotely. The software allows for remote entry of data via a TCIP network connection and can have a custom interface that provides for custom modifications.

The marking system comes standard with the new programmable Smart Focus – the alignment of a lighted dot and line provides for instant set up and focusing. Another new feature is the Smart Link cable – a rugged stainless steel cable designed to encase the fibre cable, which prevents damage or breakage in the fibre and communications delivery.

A small footprint with 19-inch rack mount allows for easy integration into factory lines with on-the-fly software capability. Remote control commands through an I/O board are possible for devices such as a PLC, HMI or computer to control the system. Lenses are available from 163 to 420 mm to allow for marking up to 30 x 30 cm areas, while three axis scan heads are available for larger areas.
