Desktop fibre laser marking system

23 July 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Lasit has introduced its newest generation RotoTab, a compact, desktop rotary dial table fibre laser marking system.

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, alphanumerics, barcodes, 2D data matrix and serialised numbers on plastics and metals. The software also includes diagnostic capability for remote troubleshooting.

The rotary system provides a two-marking position pneumatic index table with a 400 mm plate. Fully air cooled and service-free, it boasts high reliability and virtually eliminates the need for any maintenance. A low voltage power source with increased power efficiency up to 50% reduces operating costs, making this a cost effective laser for any business. Its compact footprint makes it a portable and semi-automated marking system designed for harsh industrial environments.

Instant alignment with the use of a joystick provides for easy positioning and instant focusing. A 25 mm stainless steel cable creates a jacket for the fibre cables, eliminating the risk of accidental breakage of the fibre and supplying protection against electromagnetic interferences.

The system is available with a full range of lasers including Fibre, Vanadate, CO₂, and Green. Spot sizes can be customised for applications, with the smallest spot providing micro-machining capability of alphanumerics on parts the size of an eyeglass or medical implant screw.

High speed and accuracy make the marking system suitable for engraving and marking coated and uncoated materials such as brass, titanium, stainless steel, chrome, carbide, nickel, aluminium, plastics, graphite, marble, rubber, ceramics, textiles, paper, leather and other materials.

All lasers are available for OEM factory applications for in-line production with on-the-fly applications and built-in I/O for integration.
