The i-Series Fiber Laser was specifically designed for maintenance-free OEM applications.  It delivers a diffraction limited (M2<1.05) laser beam directly to the worksite via a metal sheathed single mode fiber cable.  These compact service-free lasers are designed to operate under high shock, vibration and dust conditions, with relatively high humidity and temperatures. They do not require routine replacement parts or materials; they require only a low voltage power source.  Wall-plug efficiencies up to 50% result in a   compact size, reduced utilities, and trouble-free air cooling.  Fiber-to-fiber architecture means a robust, monolithic design with no optics to align or maintain, no mechanics to stabilize, and with the focusable power and high power densities needed for the most demanding applications.

Main features:

  • State-of-the-art, Air-Cooled, Ytterbium Q-Switched Fiber Laser for marking on virtually any material (metals, plastics, ceramics; etc.)
  • This Marking Kit has two scanning heads working simultaneously
  • (master-slave configuration) which doubles the speed of the marking process.  This could be very useful for marking a large quantity of parts with the same pattern.
  • Integrated Design with laser, laser control and power supplies in one box for each of the two scan heads
  • Designed for maintenance-free Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications
  • PC with user-friendly software supplied
  • Excellent bean quality (M2=1.4)-TEM00 beam profile
  • Greater than 50,000 hours maintenance-free operation
  • Low voltage power source (110/220 VAC) requirements
  • Flexible cable beam delivery system
  • Possibility to operate without a PC. In this case, the marking pattern is saved on the multimedia memory card.
  • Built-in I/O for integration into a production line or other equipment.

The i-Series Fiber Laser is able to produce a mark using the following techniques:

  1. Surface Etching:  A surface etch usually gives a bright contrasting mark. It is ideal for marking on coatings without penetrating through, such as Chrome, Nickel, etc. 
  2. Surface Annealing: Most common when marking on stainless steel.
  3. Ablation: The ability to remove surface treatments (i.e. Coatings of paint) to create high contrast without damaging the base material – widely used in backlit material processing, such as backlit buttons.
  4. Paint Removal: The process of burning or vaporizing the a coating of paint that is either on metal or plastic. Most common for backlit buttons.
  5. Engraving: The process of vaporizing a material to dig into the part.
