INDUSTRIAL LASER MARKING REQUIREMENTS IN THE METAL INDUSTRY

Typically, coils are marked on the fly, which makes marking more challenging when dealing with stationary marking. The line speed could be anything between 1 m and 100 m per minute. The faster the line speed, the more challenging the marking will be. With “full speed” applications, we are able to mark more than any other marking device provider with excellent quality.

Marking of sheets could be done on the fly or stationary. Which method to use depends on the application. If codes are marked, then a slow speed or stationary marking is preferred in order to ensure good quality laser markings.

Cajo Tailor™ product family is an excellent solution as a marking unit for inline applications. The Tailor unit is a class 4 device. Our team of specialists will help you with the required protection against scattered laser radiation, making safe laser marking possible. Laser safety is our priority number one!

FINDING THE RIGHT MARKING APPLICATION FOR YOUR PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

In addition to safety, one needs to take into account the mounting of the device. Do you want to achieve one side or two side markings? How is the mechanical integration done? Is the marking done in a harsh environment? How do you make sure it does not affect marking quality? What is the temperature of the marking environment? Do you need cooling for the devices? As you can see, there are many questions that need to be answered in order for marking applications to function properly. Our team will help you with all of these questions.

One very crucial question from an automation and operation point of view is, how to provide the data for the marking unit in these kinds of production environments? There are many ways to deal with that. For instance, an external control system sends updated marking content to the marking unit using TCP/IP or serial port communication. There are other options available as well. Our team will help you to select the best solution for your needs.
