US-based Coherent Inc (
www.coherent.com) is one of the world’s leading providers of lasers and laser-based technology for scientific, commercial and industrial customers, has launched EasyMark XL, a fully integrated, desktop laser marking system.
Based on the company’s successful EasyMark platform, the EasyMark XL offers an expanded working range and longer focal lengths. Marking fields are now available up to 240 x 240mm.
The processing head of the EasyMark XL can be moved by 120mm on a precision rail to be adapted to different workpiece heights. What this means is that larger workpieces with variable thickness can now be marked in one operation. The larger working area allows for batch processing of small parts for increased efficiency.
The EasyMark XL includes a number of options, such as three different nanosecond, infra-red fibre lasers; the PowerLine F20 is a very economical solution, the PowerLine F50 delivers the highest speed, and the PowerLine F20 Varia enables optimisation of the heat input by adjusting the pulse width, thus enabling marking with the highest quality requirements.
Other options include a rotary axis for marking round parts and the software package APP Suite that enables effects such as 3-D depth engraving.
With this broad selection of options, the system can be configured to provide optimum results for a wide range of applications – from "low-tech" marking of plastic ear tags for animals, to marking codes on stainless steel medical devices, to deep engraving of casting molds and stamps.
The EasyMark XL is supported worldwide by experienced Coherent application specialists. Application development, service and a wide range of training courses complete the portfolio.
