Partners Release Fiber Laser Marking System
October 25, 2006 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
BRANFORD, Conn. Lasercut, Inc., with partners El.En. Group and Lasit, released a 20-W pulsed fiber laser marking system that is said to etch metals and plastics to a reliability rating of 100,000 hours. The companies have collaborated since 2003.
The air-cooled system is designed for inline production, and can be ordered as an OEM component or an enclosed turnkey system. Compact and modular, the system includes a galvo scan head, Fly Air software, and a computer for operator and machine interfaces. Operators control the machine using a joystick. Additional options include XY tables, rotary attachments, conveyors, and on-the-fly marking capabilities. Fiber cables with stainless steel connections are protected from breakage and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
On-board operating software supports vector and raster graphic formats, and grayscale imaging. A barcode functionality is said to enhance traceability, identification, serialization, and circumferential markings.
Fiber laser systems do not require mirror alignment and have low cooling requirements, making them efficient and totally monolithic, according to the companies.
