Customized laser system with two cameras and motorized conveyor for automotive

About one year ago we started the project to realize a laser marker with precise technical parameters and that could have been integrated into a massive production chain. Today we know this machine as FlyRoller for laser marking DataMatrix codes, that can be customized ad hoc to meet the criteria of efficiency and reliability required by a customer.

The machine consists of a marking cabin and a motorized roller conveyor. The cabin is equipped with Y and Z axes with vision system, while the roller conveyor works with two robots: one loading the incoming disk and the other picking it up after marking and check.

We have made this laser marker by equipping it with Y and Z axis with servomotors with encoder, which move the laser to the marking position. This is essential for laser marking discs of different sizes.
The machine works with a robot, which positions the piece on the conveyor avoiding the need to do it manually.

Once the sensors have detected the presence of the disk, the conveyor belts move until the introduction of the piece into the cabin. At this point the sensors detect the position of the pieces and the Feed separator regulates the entry into the cabin of only one component at a time.

Of course the dimensions of the brake discs to be marked can change, so we have equipped the conveyor belts with adjustable abuts that are set through the Software.
