FOBA will showcase its high-precision system, machine and vision products for laser marking that are designed to meet the challenging identification needs of all manufacturing industries, e.g. automotive, medical, plastics processing and electronic industries.
The laser marking workstations FOBA M1000 and M2000, which will be displayed at IMTS, are capable of marking the new unique device identifier (UDI) and GS1 DataMatrix codes used to identify devices. The core of FOBA's marking technology is a high-precision marking laser system combined with the vision alignment system, Intelligent Mark Positioning (IMP).
"Directly integrated into FOBA's systems, IMP provides much more than just a high-quality marking solution," said a company spokesperson. "A closed-loop process, which includes the marking, pre- and post-mark verification, Optical Character Verification (OCV) as well as 1D and 2D code validation, is a solution unique to the market. The three step closed-loop marking process, Holistic Enhanced Laser Process (HELP), ensures process reliability before and after laser marking and easy compliance with regulations regarding traceability and identification. This contributes to improved product quality and increased production efficiency."
Identification technologies like the vision system IMP and application cases like high-speed automated rotary banding will be shown during live demos at IMTS.
FOBA's Product Manager Dr. Benayad-Cherif will give a presentation on "How lasers can benefit medical part marking" at IMTS. He will illustrate the closed-loop production process and explain how manufacturers, e.g. medical device producers, can benefit from the use of the HELP technology.
