Six-axis laser marker

With laser marking generally confined to 3- or 4-axis processing, the new Larovi integrates a laser, robot and 3D scanning technology to deliver full 6-axis processing that enables the end user to wrap images around intricate components. The machine accommodates components up to 250 by 250 by 250 mm with a maximum weight capacity of 20 kg, while the Class 1 laser system has a robot speed of 4 m/sec. The Larovi laser system also has real part location compared to theoretical location. This allows the laser to re-adjust for each individual component and gives consistent positional accuracy on batch runs. A number of systems have already been sold to customers in the aerospace, automotive, electronic, medical and cosmetics industries. Examples of installations include a customer removing paint from magnesium castings for electrical conductivity in the aerospace sector, chrome plate removal from automotive lights and the decorating of glass perfume bottles.
