The new FOBA C.0101 and C.0301 are CO2 laser markers for direct part marking. According to the company, they replace the current Alltec LC100 and LC300 models, build on their laser technology and are designed for productivity, flexibility, smooth integration and easy handling.

According to the company, the new 10- and 30-watt CO2 laser markers are designed for cost effective industrial laser marking applications. The high resolution marking heads apply consistently permanent and high-resolution marks which is a key issue for reliable traceability and counterfeit protection.

"From simple date codes through 2D codes to complex graphics, C.0101 and C.0301 reliably mark both simple and complex contents on a wide range of materials such as paperboard, glass, painted metals and many plastic materials, and products including automotive parts, electronic components, plastic parts and cables. With more laser power, compared to C.0101, the C.0301 is designed for higher speed mark-on-the-fly applications or more demanding materials such as many plastics," said a company spokesperson.

Features of the CO2 laser markers:

  • The high-speed marking heads of FOBA's CO2 lasers and a choice of marking fields meet throughput time requirements. Different contents are marked with print speeds up to 1,300 characters/sec. and line speeds up to 900 m/min.
  • 32 standard beam delivery options, four interface options, a choice of networking communications, detachable umbilical cable and simple-to-use accessory connections are designed to provide flexible, versatile applications and easy integration. Wavelengths, scan head aperture, marking head position, IP rating, and power can be configured to suit individual application needs.
  • The long-life laser beam source, the high resolution marking head and the air-cooling features of the lasers make them suited for direct part marking.
