Worktop laser marking system is
affordable
A worktop laser marking system, which can be fitted easily into even the smallest of workshops, is offered at a very affordable price and is powerful enough for most uses.
Laser marking is the chosen technology for companies where productivity, durability of the data, or mark quality is an important criterion Until now, however, it has largely been the preserve of larger manufacturing plants

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.
To rectify this, Letchworth-based Electrox is introducing the tiny MaxBox, a worktop laser marking system, which can be fitted easily into even the smallest of workshops and is offered at a very affordable price.
Despite its small size, the MaxBox is available in 10 and 20W versions, powerful enough for virtually any application.
Laser is a very simple, quick, versatile and convenient means of marking a component - as easy as writing with a pen on paper - with the added advantages of virtually no health and safety issues and few if any consumables, so piece-part cost is minimal.

Budget-priced laser marking system launched
To meet the market demand - particularly from SMEs - for aggressively priced laser marking systems - this unit provides a permanent, easily legible and versatile mark.
This is why it is the preferred marking technology of many demanding industries, including automotive, medical, electronics and giftware.
The new Electrox MaxBox offers all the proven benefits of a laser marking system from one of the leading manufacturers of laser marking systems world-wide combined with the latest fibre optic laser technology and a fiercely competitive price.
First of the fully integrated laser manufacturers to develop a fibre system, Electrox has made the ruggedness of the fibre laser available to the industrial market.
The technology was originally developed for hostile telecoms applications where the laser had to be capable of functioning, unmaintained, for a minimum of 25 years or 250.000 hours without fault or failure.
It can operate accurately at temperatures up to 450 deg C ambient and is unaffected by humidity levels, airborne contamination or vibration.
The fibre laser generates less waste heat than other types of laser, so the system can be entirely air cooled.
The air-cooled system is controlled by the proprietary Electrox software system, developed and written in-house by the company's own engineers specifically for industrial applications.
Easy to use and proven world-wide, it offers a very high level of flexibility in a simple, user-friendly format.
Its tiny size means it is easily integrated into other processes so is also attractive to integrators and OEM partners.
The MaxBox is easily installed and uses single phase power.
The laser connects directly the scanning head so there is no coupling loss or reduction in beam quality.
It is immune to misalignment or optical contamination.
Maintenance is minimal because there are no mirrors to align or clean and the system is dust-sealed for life.
There are few consumables, giving a minimal cost of ownership. Request a free brochure from Electrox ...
