OVERVIEW LASER MARKERS

Panasonic Laser Markers Introduction In 1918, Panasonic Electric Works was founded as Matsushita Electric Works by Konosuke Matsushita, who continued to expand the company with great determination. Several companies were integrated into Matsushita Electric Works and thus contributed to the overall growth of the group and the product portfolio. In 1999, SUNX Ltd. became part of the group. At that point, the company had already gained a good market position with their sensors and laser markers. SUNX Ltd. started development of laser marker systems as early as 1996. In December 1999, the...

FAYb laser markers: LP-V series Panasonic’s LP-V series Laser Markers utilizes an enhancement of YAG technology called FAYb (Fiber Amplified Ytterbium). These fiber lasers provide several advantages over traditional Nd:YAG systems, such as a better beam quality, smaller housing dimensions, a significantly longer lifetime and lower fixed costs because FAYb systems consume much less power and get by with simple air cooling. Panasonic’s LP-V series Laser Markers can mark nearly all metals using the laser processes of engraving or black marking (annealing). Using the laser processes of internal...

LP-V series highlights Improved productivity High-speed marking The LP-V series features a high-performance galvano scanner whose acceleration, deceleration, and response speeds exceed those of conventional models by delivering dramatically shorter marking times. Capable of marking up to 700 characters per second and at line speeds of up to 240m/min, the LP-V series improves productivity. The LP-V series automatically determines the most efficient marking order, further reducing marking time. Panasonic’s proprietary galvano scanner control technology keeps marking accurate and aligned, even...

FAYb laser markers: LP-S series To improve deep marking on metal, the output power has been increased from 12W for the current model to 42W. Now deep marking and black marking can be performed on precision metal parts such as bearings and tools at high speed. A robust body, superior mechanical design and high-quality components provide an IP67G degree of protection, which makes the LPS series attractive and practical for automotive and metal applications. Moreover, the connector is water-, dust-, and oilproof, and the lens is equipped with protective glass. Also, the unique design allows...

FAYb laser markers: LP-Z series The LP-Z is designed to mark complex 3D surfaces by adjusting the laser beam’s focal point, guaranteeing stable energy density and hence marking quality. This technology likewise contributes to superior marking on large 2D surfaces of up to 330 x 330mm² where the center is much closer to the beam output than the edges and corners. The LP-Z series comes equipped with an encoder interface to mark moving objects, e.g. objects on an assembly line. Standard functions include code generation (Data Matrix, various bar codes, etc.), counters, expiration date and lot...
