Stealth Marking System Verifies Quality
Laser Photonics has announced the release of an automated laser part marking system, the Stealth. The Stealth is specifically designed for manually operated mass production environments. This system is fully automated and can be used by any production facility that is consistently marking a variety of parts that need quality verification. The system contains: a standard Laser Photonics fibre laser marking system; an integrated vision system; an RFID system; a material fixture handling system; and a PLC automation system.
The combination of all of these systems into one unit is a concept designed to help manufacturing facilities increase throughput time while making sure each component is properly marked and tracked. Due to its automated design, The Stealth does not need a trained laser operator to complete a marking task. After the machine is turned and activated into automatic mode, it will wait for the operator to place a fixture into the machine. Once the system detects the fixture, it will lock it in place.
After the operator removes his hands from the laser marking environment, the machine door will fall to the closed position and the marking process will begin without any additional input from the operator. If obstructions are detected in the machine tool entry, or the fixture is not locked in place, the machine will not start. The machine door is dual redundant and hardwired to the interlock system of the laser; therefore the laser will never fire if the door is open. Additionally, the door is gravity fed in order to close and meets weight requirements in that it cannot cause any harm while closing.
When the marking is complete, the internal vision system captures the images and verifies that it meets the necessary standards. Then, the door will open, the fixture will unlock and the operator can remove the marked part and insert the next piece. The Stealth automated industrial system offers a user life of more than 50,000 hours, precise marking and requires minimal maintenance. Laser Photonics will begin regular production of the systems within the next month. Laser Photonics has announced the release of an automated laser part marking system, The Stealth.
