An affordable laser marking system for all small-to-medium volume manufacturers is complete with control electronics, software, safety workstation and work piece focusing mechanism.
Laser marking systems suit high or low volume work
Based on an innovative diode pumped Nd:YAG design, an expanded laser marking range now offers solutions for low volume and high throughput work.
Laser profiling centre makes light work
When visiting MACH 2002 earlier this year, having already made highly effective use of a laser profiling system installed 18 months previously, a subcontractor chose a second, more powerful type.
Although suitable for a wide range of users, it is particularly appropriate for small to medium volume manufacture and as an entry-level system.
The Cobra ES offers a viable and inexpensive alternative to more traditional marking systems.
Providing a permanent, easily legible and versatile mark on a wide range of materials, laser marking is a clean, safe means of marking which eliminates the need for inks, acids or solvents.
Cobra ES, which is based on the proven technology used throughout the Cobra range of laser markers, has been value-engineered to bring laser marking within the budget of the smaller company for the first time.
It is a fully integrated laser marking solution complete with control electronics, software, safety workstation and workpiece focussing mechanism.
It is based on a diode pumped Nd:YAG laser which is guaranteed for a true 10,000h.
In addition, the laser controller has been redesigned and is now offered as a hand held unit which is attached magnetically to the laser workstation and can be operated in any position convenient to the operator and the actual job in hand.
Marking field is 140mm, with the option of 220mm.
Control is through Electrox's own powerful intuitive software which provides for maximum marking versatility.
Easy to learn and use, the software is compatible with all current versions of Windows and can import a wide range of graphic file formats, generate bar codes, two dimensional codes and data codes as well as perform automatic serialisation, conduct merges with data from external sources.
The Cobra ES has USB communications, a galvo beam scanning system and DSP Galvo drives.
The control console allows control of the laser and the ability to select previously downloaded marking files.
The unit has an LCD display which shows the status of the laser and comprehensive diagnostics.
All optical components are mounted on a single rigid rail which is enclosed to be fully sealed against the ingress of dust.
Cooling is fully integrated. Request a free brochure from Electrox ...
