CO2 Laser Marking for organic materials

PowermarkCO2 Fly CO2

 Powermark FlyCO2 for integration is a robust, durable laser marking product that works in any industrial environment. It can be used for laser marking 2D codes, alphanumerical codes, one-dimensional codes, and logos.

FlyCO2 is the ideal laser marker for plastic and natural materials, like Plexiglas, paper, wood, hard stone, fabric, or marble. It can be integrated into any production line, and the laser engraver is the ideal combination of low operating costs and high productivity

LASIT designed it for interfacing with existing PLC systems.RS232 or TCP/IP — in the Client/Server concept — communication is available as well as the use of digital signals. The power of CO2 laser markers ranges from 10 W to 70 W, air cooled. 

The gas is excited inside the source using radio frequency (RF), which determines the power of the output flow. The “Preview” function in the LASIT software allows the piece to be centered. The scanner unit can be Flat Field (two axes) or Prescan with Dynamic Z (three axes).

Flat Field uses a pair of high-speed, high-precision galvanometers, with drivers and control electronics — SMT technology — integrated in the head. The head is sealed to prevent mirror contamination.

 

As with all LASIT laser markers, this one can be integrated into the line with Profibus, Profinet, or Ethernet/IP protocols.

All our Laser Markers are qualified for Industry 4.0. LASIT supplies all the necessary technical materials and instructions for connecting the laser to the factory’s system at no additional cost. LASIT can ship this product in 48 hours.

CO2 Laser Marking: how it works

Instructions for Stand-Alone Use

In this mode, the laser operates without a command PC, and it can be integrated into production lines with limited space.

 

It does not require an operator interface, and installation is much faster.

Manage multiple lasers with a single PC

As an alternative to FlyCAD, the FlyPowermark software with a fully customizable operator interface is available for automated environments. It can manage several data input modes, for example, access to the company factory system (database, web services, TCP/IP). It can potentially manage an infinite number of lasers, making it possible to design applications to command all the lasers on the line simultaneously.

Cameras for reading and grading DataMatrix codes

In addition to the lateral vision system, LASIT equips its laser markers with the TTL vision system. This vision system is directly integrated into the laser scanning head and is perfect for validating (reading and grading) DataMatrix codes without moving the laser or the camera.

This is possible because the light reflected by the part is directed on the camera’s detector in the same exact path as the laser beam.

The integrated circular light offers a clear view inside the framed area, and the brightness can be adjusted.

There are two possible scenarios for DMC validation:

3-axis-head for 3D laser marking

The system is equipped with the 3-axis head for laser marking large, cylindrical, or irregular surfaces, which allows a constant focal elevation to be maintained.

 

Mechanically, it consists of a linear motor system, two X and Y rotary devices (allowing the laser band to be moved along the axis), and a third axis for focusing. The laser band passes through a scope equipped with a mobile lens that, in turn, is assembled on a linear traverse. 

 

The software automatically adjusts the operation. This system allows the focal point of the laser to advance without it moving along the Z axis. Powermark FlyCO2 can also be equipped with an Autofocus system, which allows the focal distance to be corrected automatically. It consists of a laser sensor integrated optimally in the LASIT software.
