First of all, speaking of laser markers we
must make a distinction between lasers
that are integrated in a production line and
marking systems with integrated laser.

It is also important to consider the
power of the laser itself, which is
measured in Watts, and which can
also impact substantially out of
the total. Eg, a 20W laser will cost
slightly less

Advantages of laser engraving machines in the industrial world Various marking methods have been used for
metal. The most common examples are laser markers, moulds, marking, labelling and micro-point machines
using punches. Laser marking is becoming the most widely used method given its numerous advantages.
On discovering these advantages, many users have replaced traditional marking methods with laser marking.
This guide will allow you to find more on Lasit laser Engraving machines.

First Concept: Laser Source

First of all, speaking of laser markers we must make a distinction between lasers that are integrated in a
production line and marking systems with integrated laser.
It is also important to consider the power of the laser itself, which is measured in Watts, and which can also
impact substantially out of the total. Eg, a 20W laser will cost slightly less
compared to a 30W laser (usually around 10%).

Second Concept: Structure of the machine

The second parameter gives considering is the structure of the system complete where the source
is inserted. Mainly I frames of laser markers are made of aluminum, steel or - more rarely - granite.
Of these, the best for applications where it is required high precision and / or speed of displacement are steel
and granite, which are even the most expensive ones.

Third Concept: Marker Elements

Based on the requests and the application, the structure of the machine changes, adapting itself to satisfy the
requests for efficiency and productivity.

Among the most famous elements that are normally requested and recommended we find:

Rotary Table
Thanks to its different workstations, this component loads another pallet while the previous one is being
marked.

Roller conveyor or belt
Workpieces are conveyed to the machine automatically. This way, the operator is not involved in the various
steps of the production chain.

Automatic magazines
Magazines can store hundreds or thousands of workpieces. This way, processes can go on for hours without
involving the operator.

Robot
Robots facilitate the loading of bulky workpieces or the movement of the laser head. They can also position or
mark components in impossible positions.

Shuttle
By moving the whole surface, they facilitate the loading of bulkier components and protect doors and the laser
marker cabinet from blows.

Number of axes
The head moves on the surface through the axes. Marking possibilities change considerably from axis Z to axes X and
Y.

Fourth concept: Marker Accessories

Another important variable is the need to add to the accessory marking, which optimize the laser engraving system and
are sometimes needed for some specific applications, such as axis rotary and 3-axis head for cylindrical ones. Our laser
systems can interface with PROFIBUS communication protocols, PROFINET, PROFIsafe. In case of additions, the laser
marking unit will interface with an existing PLC system or with an ad hoc programmed PLC.

Over the years LASIT has distinguished itself for the high technological level of our departments
research and development, which includes mechanics, automation, hardware and software.
