Today we present you a customized laser for engraving nameplates or small components. The traceability of a product, obtainable through laser engraving, is now a consolidated market requirement. The purchase of a marking system must therefore be part of a company 4.0 perspective, fast and as automated as possible. Standard systems are not always able to satisfy all customer needs, leading them to make compromises to achieve satisfactory results. An advantageous solution is represented by internal production, which allows the creation of tailor-made and high-quality products, from the design phase to the finishes. RMU Marking, with over 50 years of experience in the permanent marking sector, provides valuable information on the features to take into consideration when purchasing a marking system. Below we show you an example of a special laser created for a customer who operates in the valve manufacturing industry.

Characteristics

The system aims to mark plates with various layouts in automatic mode, i.e. without the operator working on the machine. The laser mounts a pre-established number of tag magazines, in this case four, but it is modular and implementable. Each magazine can hold up to approximately 400 tags. After marking, the plate is unloaded onto an unloading carousel which has 30 positions. The positions can be divided by type of plate via software programming. The unloading system allows you to keep the labels divided in a convenient and efficient way for the operator’s use.

Thanks to the customized software you can decide what to mark on each plate both individually and by job order. In a machine of this type, with four magazines, the work cycle time (excluding marking time) is approximately 15 seconds. Obviously considering label loading, marking positioning and unloading. The marking time varies depending on the amount of information to be entered. Thanks to this system it is possible to move 1600 plates in 6 hours, without operator intervention. For example, the laser can work automatically all night and the operator will find the tags, ready and sorted, the next morning.
