Full Laser Marking Station and Desktop Laser Marking System

Isotech Inc. announced the availability of a full line of cost-effective, multi-use laser marking and cutting systems. "Our laser marking and laser cutting systems offer a new dimension in speed, accuracy and repeatability," said Joe Casillo, president at Isotech. "From bar coding to logos, laser marking offers the best alternative available for part identification."

Offered in two distinct configurations for either production line or desktop workstation use, all Laser Marking Systems offer versatile, multiple-purpose functionality including annealing, ablating, etching, thermo-chemical reaction application and engraving. Both the portable and full station configuration provide the flexibility to mark or prepare virtually any material including, but not limited to, anodized and non-anodized metals, glass, plastics, rubber and paper.

For the application of custom product marking, both systems apply a permanent, color image with high contrast and crisp resolution, accomplished without the need for dyes, inks, chemicals, solvents and paper or plastic labels. This feature, coupled with the additional advantage of low energy consumption throughout the entire production process, makes them completely environmentally friendly.

Both the Full Laser Marking Station and Desktop Laser Marking System are highly accurate, with reliable, repeatable results in all applications and require no tooling, preparation masks, stamps, or plates required by conventional marking processes.

All features of these systems provide the user with an overall reduction in production costs and an increase in the speed of delivery of products to the end-user.

The most popular and cost effective unit available is the Desktop Laser Marking System. A highly compact system, the Desktop Laser Marking System can be easily and quickly mounted on any desktop or stable surface. Used for components of varying thickness (0 to 15mm), as well as flat and complex parts, there is never a break in the production process as the unit allows the marking of one item, while the next item to be marked is being loaded simultaneously.

This unit's Smart Focus System software allows for a total image generation for focus control. This produces more accurate imagery versus the traditional, less effective methods based on the two laser pointer convergence method. An additional advantage of the Desktop Laser Marking Systems, allows for maximum image intensity control, a feature ideal when used on reflective or color absorbent materials or surfaces. For higher throughput requirements, the modular designed Full Laser Marking Station remains the ideal choice. The Full Laser Marking Station affords precise, accurate marking of materials at a rate of up to 1,000 characters per second and can easily be integrated into production line applications.
