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.
Ring sizing in platinum is easy and rapid using the laser.
Using metal of the same alloy as the ring (rather than solder) results in a finished weld which after polishing is undetectable - avoiding the shadow which is sometimes seen after polishing a piece which has been soldered.
Repairing porosity on cast components is also much easier with the laser - the job can be completed in a couple of minutes.
Welding in close proximity to heat-sensitive stones is now possible using the laser, as the heat input is minimised and very local.
Adjusting the spot size and power of the laser means that fine welds or deep penetration welds can be selected in a few seconds. Request a free brochure from Rofin-Baasel UK ...
