BEFORE THE MARKING PROCESS

1. MARKING CONTROL

• Automatic recognition of products for switching marking programs.
• Automatic tune of Laser Marking parameters when there is variation in material quality.

2. MARKING PLACEMENT

• Intelligent Machine Vision Solutions can determine the exact position, orientation, and shape of the workpiece, allowing the high-quality Laser Marking System to apply permanent markings with high precision.
• Automatic marking alignment can significantly simplify the mechanical handling of products.

3. VISUAL INSPECTION OF PRODUCTS

• Quality control of products to be marked for maximum yield and minimized scrap.
• Product marking is typically an integral part of the manufacturing process – a high volume of products will go through a marking cell machine for example, where basic visual inspection can be established.
• The defective products can be isolated, so no value is attributed to bad products.

AFTER THE MARKING PROCESS

1. MARKING QUALITY INSPECTION

• Various information, such as alphanumeric data, text, logos, pictures, charts, etc. can be marked on products while the quality of the markings often needs to be verified if it is a crucial part of the visual outlook.
• Intelligent Machine Vision can learn from good samples and is able to compare completed markings to find quality issues.

2. TRACEABILITY

• Many types of 1D/2D codes are used for traceability and logistics applications in manufacturing.
• The marking quality has a direct influence on the robustness of reading, or decoding, of codes.
• Machine Vision can check code readability and grade or verify marking quality based on common standards (ISO/IEC 15415/15416/15426-1/15426-2, AIM-DMP, TR 29158).

3. OCR/OCV

• When the marking is a random alphanumeric string, Machine Vision can read it with OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
• Machine Vision can also verify the marking quality of a random alphanumeric string with OCV (Optical Character Verification).
