The Laser L-Box Marking System
August 1, 2013
"The Laser L-Box is a compact and easy-to-use marking system that fits easily on a workbench. Equipped with an Ytterbium-doped fiber laser source, its power allows it to produce high-contrast markings in milliseconds. It is designed so that users with a minimum of training (laser safety training) in this technology can operate it intuitively. It is intended for industrial traceability and identification applications as well as for producing distinctive markings (logos, designs, etc)," said a company spokesperson.
"Engineered with robust components, it can produce markings at high rates in any industrial environment. The lifetime of the pumping diodes allows up to 100,000 hours of laser operation reports SIC Marking," said the spokesperson.
The Laser L-Box marks metals of all types (including steel, aluminum, stainless steel and titanium), composites, ceramics and most plastics (depending on the base material, additives and pigments). The viewing window and interior LED lighting allow monitoring of marking operations.
The Laser L-Box features a one-piece design: the beam is generated by the highly compact source then delivered through a fiber optic cable extending all the way to the part via the galvanometer head and lens. Unlike the previous generation of laser-marking machines, no optomechanical adjustments are needed.
The Laser L-Box has many options:
- Rotary D-axis
- Motorized Z-column station for series marking and good ergonomics
- Custom-welded support frame
- Slide or turntable station for series marking.
