Laser marking

Key points first Laser is economic when it comes to marking small components or even large workpieces precisely and permanent. There are several benefits: cab marking lasers have been designed to solve a wide range of applications. It is possible to mark stagnant products of metal or plastics in a wide range of industries: • Focus on smallest spaces, as laser beams allow strong bundling • Medtech – machine-readable encoding of medical or surgical instruments, compliant with the guidelines on Unique Device Identification • Flexibility, as both metals and plastics can be marked – even on spots...

Sample applications cab marking lasers mainly work with metals and plastics. Depending from the requirement and material, different methods are known: Engraving Evaporation with high energy density removes the material. An indentation with a sharp outline occurs. Markings on cast parts Annealing finds application mainly on highly alloyed stainless steel or titanium. Medical instruments Traceable sterilization Ablating uncovers material underneath the top layer. Examples include anodized or painted layers. Aluminum rating plates Automotive components Coloring finds application on plastics. The...

Marking lasers XENO 4 The performance and quality of markings mainly depend from the output power and the laser beam focus. Marking is possible on plastics, metals and painted surfaces. cab XENO 4 marking lasers are diode-pumped and air-cooled. They have high beam quality and high pulse peak powers. Beam sources are provided with 20, 30 and 50 Watt. Different plano-spherical lenses enable marking in fields from 69 x 69 mm to 290 x 290 mm. XENO 4 marking lasers consist of two units: A control unit with an integral beam source and a scan head that is connected with the beam source via a fiber....

Shifting the focus with XENO 4S By shifting the focus, XENO 4S can within fractions of a second effortlessly compensate height differences on a component. By mechanical unit adjustment, even complex markings are possible on different levels of a component without loss of cycle time. A control unit calculates the respective layout scaling. Depending from the plano-spherical lens in use, shifting is possible up to ±70 mm. Marking field Operation distance Operation distance
