Kitchen Utensils

Application: Marking measuring cups and spoons.

Features: This system was integrated with the customer's existing robot to accept six measuring cups or spoons at a time into its 12" x 16" marking field.

After being marked by the laser, the cups/spoons are automatically placed onto the system's conveyor belt and passed to the next station in the production line.

Wire Looms

Application: Marking alpha-numerics and graphics.

Features: This Nd:YAG system incorporates a cam driven rotary indexer, two linear tables and an articulating arm. Multiple parts are loaded into a pneumatic fixture which allows the parts to be marked on three surfaces. When a fixture is loaded, the operator initiates rotation of the table, positioning the parts under the marking head. The marking head moves vertically and linearly to the correct position over each part. After all parts in the fixture are marked on one surface, the fixture pneumatically rotates the parts and the marking resumes. This process continues until all parts in the fixture are marked on three surfaces.
