Automation of Laser Marking

Automation of Laser Marking
The automation of laser marking processes plays an increasingly important role in industrial manufacturing. Automating laser marking can help manage demanding marking requirements and save costs. We offer flexible technical solutions for auomated laser marking in cooperation with automation experts. The implementation is customized and depends on the given production environment and requirements.
What is automated laser marking?
Automation in the context of laser marking is diverse and can relate to different kinds of processes: from robotic parts handling, automated part feed, rotary units and rotary tables to vision- and software-based process monitoring.

For example, automation of laser marking encompasses automated loading and unloading of a marking station, pick and place operations within a closed marking unit, but also stacking, sorting or a subsequent packaging and cleaning. A distinction is made between semi-automated and fully automated systems, which differ in the degree of human interaction required.

In addition to automated parts handling, the automation of the marking process itself also plays an important role, as provided by our laser marking proces HELP (Holistic Enhanced Laser Process).

Benefits of laser marking automation
Increased productivity
Automated systems can operate around the clock, thereby increasing production capacity. Even the automation of the marking process itself, as provided by the marking process HELP (Holistic Enhanced Laser Process), significantly increases efficiency and helps to boost throughput.
Process reliability
Automated laser marking solutions enable consistent high marking quality, especially in combination with the laser-integrated vision system IMP (Intelligent Mark Positioning).
More efficiency
Automated processes reduce scrap and manual intervention, leading to lower production costs.
