Trotec, a world-leader in high-speed laser cutting, marking and engraving technology, will demonstrate a range of solutions at Southern Manufacturing & Electronics 2024, taking place 6-8 February in Farnborough (Stand H90).

Flatbed laser cutters and engravers have grown in importance among manufacturers. With large working areas, these systems are perfect for prototyping parts, cutting and engraving safety signage and providing detailed engravings on products and components. Visitors to the stand will be able to see the Speedy 300 flexx dual-source flatbed laser engraving machine in action. With a larger working area than galvo systems, a flatbed is perfect for processing larger quantities of components and products, while with the two laser sources, multi-material products and components can be processed in a single job, offering time savings and optimised production.

With standards for traceability and serialisation often stringent, laser marking offers a fast, reliable and legible solution for part marking. The pinpoint accuracy of laser marking systems means that even the finest data can be legibly marked in hard-to-reach areas. Laser marking creates marks that are resistant to heat, chemicals and abrasion, something traditional methods like labelling cannot offer.

A popular choice for many manufacturing companies within the UK and Ireland, Trotec will also present the high-speed SpeedMarker 700 galvo laser system. Designed for high-speed processing, it is ideal for marking metal and plastic components in a matter of seconds.

Also on display will be a range of laserable materials, from hard-wearing laminates perfect for industrial safety signage to metals for data plates and metal marking sprays and pastes for CO₂ laser users. All of these products are specially selected to achieve the highest quality results when laser processed, offering long-lasting, high-quality products.
