Laser marking machine developments

Speedier laser marking is the principle benefit of the new TruMark Series 6000 from Trumpf (pictured). This improved productivity is thanks to a new generation of deflection systems that allow an increased output gain of up to 75 per cent in the infrared, green and ultraviolet range by comparison with earlier models. The new markers also have higher pulse peak powers and higher pulse energy enabling them to be employed for new applications such as those found in semiconductor manufacture. Succeeding Trumpf's proven VectorMark impact marker is the new TruMark 7020. This model can be fitted with fibre-optic output enabling its homogenous beam profile to achieve higher edge sharpness and mark definition. In addition to marking, this robot-friendly system can also be used for rapid annealing, soldering and plastic welding. Simultaneous processing of two workpieces is possible thanks to the availability of twin fibre-optic connections. To optimise the flexibility of the new TruMark machines Trumpf has also upgraded its TruTops Mark software.
