Key facts

• Laser marking in three directions via linear axes
• Identification & control via RFID on workpiece carriers
• Cycle time 20-25 seconds depending on the recipe
• Intuitive operation via 22" touch panel & live camera

Task

Products on workpiece carriers are to be automatically guided to the laser marking station in a rotary system. The station must react flexibly to new recipes and carry out product changes independently. Identification is carried out using RFID tags, and marking takes place at 30-second intervals.

Solution

An autonomous laser cell reads RFID tags, labels products on three sides simultaneously and rewrites the chips for further processing. The cell is fully enclosed and is operated via a touch panel. Two cameras allow the operating personnel to monitor the system live. The system works quickly, precisely and is seamlessly integrated into the production flow.
