A flexible industrial marking system must handle more than flat workpieces.

The catalog identifies several processing configurations.

Static Plane Marking

Flat stationary products represent the most straightforward application.

Examples can include:

• Metal plates

• Electronic components

• Hardware

• Flat product surfaces

Curved Surface Marking

Some industrial products have curved surfaces requiring an appropriate marking configuration.

Cylindrical Marking

Cylindrical products can be processed with suitable rotational positioning.

Potential applications include:

• Round components

• Rings

• Cylindrical hardware

• Jewelry

Flying Marking

The system can also be configured for moving objects.

Flying marking is useful when product identification needs to become part of a continuous production line.

Automation Opportunities

Computer control makes these different marking configurations easier to integrate into manufacturing workflows.

Conclusion

The ability to work with flat, curved, cylindrical and moving products significantly expands the application range of compact fiber laser marking technology.
