For the purpose of expanding the spectrum of applications, a wide ran-ge of laser accessories are available for ACI Laser marking systems. These accessory options include, for example, the rotation axis for markingcylindricalcomponents.Thisenables360°markingonthecircumference of the workpiece to be processed. Here the rotation axis is controlled by the marking software, which synchronises the laser and axis. Other features of this software include the segmented labelling of texts and logos as well as the application of scales on the circumference. In addition to the rotation axis, the scope of these system applications is also expanded by various laser extractions, diverse linear axes as well as the „Vision Pack“ camera module.

Alongsidethecompletesolutions,theuseoflasersasOEMlasermarkers is also possible. This becomes necessary in the case of in-te-gration into an existing production process. ACI Laser provides an extensive range of accessories for self-integration processes. These include various types of laser protection glass as well as software interfaces specifically developed for communication with higher-level systems. The close contact between the users and ACI sales engineers ensures that the optimal solution on an individual basis will be found.

Options and accessories

38

Laser extraction

Since the gases, dusts and other reaction products produced in the laser marking process can be toxic, ACI Laser offers three different standard extraction and filter systems for normal marking applications: the compact, standard and low-noise models.

Axis solutions

In conjunction with a standard objective (F-Theta 163) and the Workstation PROFESSIONAL, the y-axis enlarges the marking field to 350 mm in the y-direction (refer to page 33). For marking rota-tionally symmetrical workpieces, ACI Laser pro-vides a rotational axis for integration into the ACI complete solutions. Texts, logos and graphics are automatically suitably segmented by the software.

Laser protection

For efficient laser protection of viewable areas with, for example, integrated applica-tions, ACI Laser of-fers laser protection windows specially customised for the relevant systems and wavelengths. These allow the user to view the marking area without exposure to hazardous laser radiation. Only CE cer-tified protective windows are used for this purpose.

39

PositionCameraVision Systems CPM (Capturing, Positioning, Marking)

Camera for capturing a live or single image of the marking area

AOI (Automatic Object Identification)Image Processing and Evaluation

CPM is used for positioning markings on components, workpieces and objects with the aid of a camera. In the standard version, the camera lenses are selected to capture the entire marking area. In the Ventus series version with the fibre lasers, the camera is integrated in the scan head. In Diode series lasers and the COTwoMarker, the camera is mounted on the outside of the head. The distortion caused by perspective in the live image captured by the camera is corrected. The single image is used for positioning the layout in the graphic area of MagicMark V3.

For applications requiring higher resolution, CPM enables even smaller areas of the marking field to be captured with high resolution by selecting suitable lenses, and processed.

AOI is used for the fully automatic detection, identification and measurement of objects, texts and codes with complex geometries. The combination of object detection and la-ser marking offers an excellent opportunity for quality and process assurance, and for increasing the efficiency of the process control of many applications. AOI captures and analyzes the marked area online via a camera system. The laser marking is directed at the object fully automatically, and afterwards can be checked by the labelling. Another field of application for AOI is reading 1D and 2D codes and optical character recognition (OCR).TheAOI high-end camera system is designed to meet customer-specific technical requirements, and to be suitable for the geometric properties of the object to be labelled.

Magic Mark V3

The factors to consider when deciding on a laser marking investment are how user-friendly the marking software is, what is included in the scope of delivery and how innovative the laser system is. In the area of laser marking software, MagicMark V3 sets new standards. The simple operation of the software’s graphical interface allows fast creation of complex marking even for inexperienced PC-users.

In addition to its extensive graphic functionality, the software offers a Visual Basic programming module, to facilitate integration into production lines. Another highlight is the option to control the marking software th-rough external .NET programs. Even the most complicated data communi-cations can be easily achieved by using this method. In this way, additional investment costs in client-specific software solutions can be avoided.

MagicMark V3 is a Windows (WIN 7 32 bit/64 bit recommended) based marking software that communicates with the laser via a high-speed USB 2.0 interface. Thus, laser system control ensues via standard Windows-PCs.
