Direct part marking system for most materials is small June 2007
 
The 'Ulyxe' laser marking system from Laservall is suitable for direct part marking on most materials, and is probably the smallest diode pumped laser marker system on the market, it is claimed.

Based on an all-in-one design concept, the laser source, scanning head, digital controls and monitoring functions are all integrated in a single compact housing. A robust polyurethane case with user-friendly touch screen interface completes the package. Ulyxe is extremely simple and easy to integrate with production lines or turnkey systems, only a power supply and PC with USB connection are required. Once installed the system can operate for thousands of hours without maintenance.

The Ulyxe software editor allows the user to create marking files that can include text, graphics, barcodes and 2D data matrix codes. Advanced functionality provides for automatic serial numbering, batch coding and date/time stamping operations. Additionally, the graphical editor supports the import of logos in both CAD vector (PLT and DXF) and bitmap (BMP, JPG, GIF) formats.

Materials that can be laser marked with Ulyxe systems include virtually all metals (aluminium, titanium, steels, Nitinol, etc) and plastics (ABS, nylon, PES, PVC, polycarbonate and many others) with excellent results. Benefits of laser marking include: permanent indelible marks, low running costs, high speed, complete flexibility through total software control, no inks, solvents or consumables, simple installation and low running costs, non-contact process means no wearing parts, high resolution
