Through the lens vision system for FOBA laser marker August 2008
 
FOB America has developed an integrated, through-the-lens vision system for the FOBA laser where part verification, mark content and laser control are performed under one platform. IMP reduces set-up time, simplifies focusing, eliminates waste parts due to mark misalignment, reduces fixturing costs and reduces human error.

The three step process means a job can be set up in less than 20 minutes and changeovers from one part to another take less than two. Create a job, create a layout that includes the position of the part and mark content and create a vision model to capture and identify a part. Production part variations can be included by adjusting the tolerance levels to ensure all parts are marked. Teaching IMP where to place the means the mark will be positioned and oriented correctly.
