A laser marker with a traditional template is not enough for the automatic laser marking of 1600 tags.
Since productivity is one of the most important requirements of tag producers, we have developed a system that allows easy management of laser engraving, so as to reduce the operator’s work to automate the processes.
The Flylabel laser marker is configurable up to 4 loaders: from a single one, which can contain up to 400 tags with the Pick&place system that regulates disorderly unloading, up to 4 different loaders that can manage both disorderly unloading and ordered loading with the same Pick&place system. The XZ axis system with 800×300 mm stroke then manages the position of the laser head for laser marking of each row of components with extreme precision.
How does it work?
The operator loads the tags in the loader and the laser marking program for tags, capable of handling one or more operating sequences, is started. LASIT usually creates software according to customer needs, guaranteeing its ease of use. The main advantage of FlyCAD is its ability to progressively manage data, automatically populating the contents of the laser engraving on the tags according to the production order.
Once loading has been completed and the software started, the operator’s work is finished. The tags are automatically marked and then picked up by a Pick&Place system (equipped with a suction cup) and unloaded.
Unloading can involve:
- Positioning of the tags in a warehouse equal to the loading warehouse (ordered unloading)
- Collecting the tags in a container by means of a chute (disorderly unloading).
We can autonomously manage the functions of the loaders, assigning them all to loading (if unloading is disorderly) or associate each load with its own unloading warehouse.
Replaceable loaders
It is possible to install different size loaders in the same housing if different size tags need to be marked. This gives the laser marker great versatility and a strong productive advantage.
The mechanical structure
The machine is based on the FlexyMark structure, made by LASIT, which ensures the total stability of the laser marker in all its components:
- Frame made of Bosch profiles
- XZ axis structure in welded, stretched and milled steel
- Pick&Place system with pneumatic chute on Star Rexroth guides
