Laser marking system processes 1000 units/min
Laser marking system uses dual axis scanning technology to mark small and large characters on packaging lines at speeds in excess of 1000 containers per minute.
Laser weld positions and the welding parameters are set up using LaserCAD the front end software which runs under Windows on a PC.
Integration of the galvanometer head is straightforward and there is a simple handshake to demand a weld cycle and advise when welding is successfully completed.
Applications like welding of components onto shafts and spot welding delicate assemblies can be rapidly and consistently achieved.
Optionally, a vision system can be used to compensate for any mis-alignment of the components to be welded.
Vision is through the lens so there is no possibility of mis-alignment due to the camera position moving relative to the focus head. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
