Rofin launches latest versatile modular EasyMark laser marking system

The EasyMark incorporates the latest diode-pumped or fibre laser technology and powerful yet intuitive software to make it an all-in-one laser marking system for a wide variety of applications. The unit's design features a supply control unit and the working chamber as separate modules for configuration flexibility and set up to suit specific applications. The system is not only suitable for standard applications, with manual part placement and removal, but it is also capable of being integrated into semi or fully automated production lines. Its capability encompasses marking metals, polymers, flat or cylindrical parts, standard marking tasks or those with graphical content, mobile or static use. By simply removing the laser class I enclosure, the EasyMark is transformed into an open laser class IV marking module with numerous integration possibilities. With the side panels removed, the unit is able to accommodate long and bulky work pieces. In this configuration it is also accommodates automated part feeding systems such as conveyors or indeed automatic loading and unloading by robot. The rise and fall door provides easy access to the entire working chamber. When the door is closed and the system in operation, the process can be monitored through the large inspection window. The system is configured with a camera and pilot laser for exact part positioning within the standard 120 mm or optional 180 mm marking area. The EasyMark comes as standard with a programmable Z-axis and can be equipped with an optional rotary axis if required. Further options such as a Through-the-Lens (TTL) camera, automatic door, or foot switch can provide customer specific solutions. Depending on individual customer requirements, the EasyMark is powered by PowerLine F fibre lasers with 20, 30 or 50 W or alternatively with the diode end-pumped PowerLine E 10. All laser sources used within the latest EasyMark are air-cooled and designed for continuous industrial operation. The system requires a standard, single-phased power supply. Powerful Visual Laser-Marker (VLM) software makes design and transfer of marking layouts simple. VLM also offers a comprehensive range of marking functions, fonts, and pre-defined laser set-ups. The standard configuration of the EasyMark comes with a Laptop (Windows 7), VLM software, programmable Z-axis, pilot laser and camera observation.
