LASIT – Laser Marking Machines for Industry
Traceability
Laser marking technology is primarily used to ensure the traceability of industrial components, thanks to its versatility, high speed, and resistance to wear compared to other technologies.
Integration
Another advantage is easy integration into existing production lines, as well as the ability to connect laser systems with robots and equip them with vision systems for reading and verifying marked codes.
Aesthetics
Lasers can be used to mark or engrave complex geometries and logos with exceptional precision. A wide range of wavelengths and power levels enables the marking of almost any material with permanent, high-contrast marks.
Functional Marking
Laser marking technology can also be used to modify the physical properties of a material’s surface, achieving the desired result with exceptional process repeatability.
Metal is the material most commonly marked with lasers. The entire industrial supply chain largely consists of metal products, while many hydraulic and medical components are also made of metal. However, laser marking can also be used on plastics and wood.
One of the most common applications of laser marking is product traceability. This involves marking identification codes, most commonly QR and Data Matrix codes. LASIT laser markers, combined with the proprietary FlyCAD software, offer exceptional flexibility in code generation. The software is easy to use and enables automated data management, with direct integration into the customer’s MES and ERP systems.
LASIT laser markers can also be equipped with a vision system (camera) for verifying and assessing the quality of marked codes.
Within an individual production station, product traceability is ensured through a high level of automation and expertise.
This marking method is known as DPM (Direct Part Marking), meaning that the identification is applied directly to the component without the use of labels, plates, or other additional information carriers.
Standard Machines
MicroMark G3
A compact and functional benchtop laser marking machine designed for a wide range of production requirements. The system is prepared for robot integration and can operate fully autonomously.
TowerMark X
A flexible laser marking machine with an innovative X and Z-axis movement system, offering a working area of up to 600 × 100 mm. It is suitable for marking large components, fixtures and pallets containing a large number of parts.
TowerMark LX
An industrial laser marking machine for marking large components and pallets containing a large number of parts. It represents an enlarged and more productive version of the standard TowerMark system.
CompactMark G8
A three-axis laser system for precise and repeatable positioning and marking of large components and pallets. The system can be expanded to up to six axes for more demanding applications.
Vertical Standard LASIT Machines
Vertical machines from the LASIT range, unlike standard laser marking machines, meet specific requirements across different sectors – custom solutions that have become standard at LASIT.
TowerLabel X & RotoTag
Systems specially designed for automated label marking, with the possibility of integrating up to four buffer towers inside the marking cabin.
RotoMark X
A system designed for users requiring high productivity, achieved by loading and unloading in parallel with the marking process, known as masked loading and unloading.
FlyRoller
A system designed for automated marking of aluminium wheels and brake discs, intended for demanding industrial processes with a high degree of automation.
TowerShuttle
A system designed for marking components with robot integration, using a loading system positioned outside the marking cabin.
