Portable laser marking system

Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Lasit has introduced its newest generation LaserTab, a compact, desktop fibre laser marking system with a motorised Z axis with 40 cm travel. The fully enclosed Class One system comes complete with a fibre laser, galvo scan head, computer, and FlyX and FlyCad software that supports both vector and raster engraving of graphics, logos, alpha-numerics, barcodes, 2D Data Matrix, and serialised numbers on plastics and metals. The software also includes diagnostic capability for remote troubleshooting.
Fully air cooled and service-free, the system virtually eliminates the need for any maintenance. A low voltage power source with power efficiency up to 50% reduces operating costs, and the compact footprint makes this a portable marking system designed for harsh industrial environments.
The motorised Z axis with encoder provides for marking of components varying in thickness from 0 to 150 mm. The joystick allows for instant and simple focus. The marking of a small series of parts is made more convenient by a useful drawer that allows the load-unloading without having to open the door. The wide cabinet has a manual door with a Class I inspection glass that offers a clear view of the product being marked. Movement of the Z axis can also be carried out with a joystick which is an indispensable instrument if used together with the Smart Focus system.
The Smart Focus is a unique system which generates an image for focus control. This system is said to be much more convenient and accurate than traditional technologies based on the convergence of two laser pointers. The operator can easily and instantly find the optimum marking position for both flat surfaces as well as parts with complex geometries. The possibility of using software to control the intensity of the focusing image makes it suitable for use both on components that reflect (chrome plating, polished stainless and ground surfaces) and on those that absorb (black plastic, dark oxidised aluminium).
A rotary C axis for marking of cylindrical parts can be integrated as an option. This workstation is fully self-contained and both FiberFly and FlyAir lasers can be integrated. FlyCAD operating software can be run under modern Windows versions and a simple network connection is all that is needed to control the laser.
