A new laser range launch is an important breakthrough for SIC Marking. This range uses a ytterbium-doped fiber source designed by SIC Marking, a pulsed operating mode (30 to 60 kHz), a wavelength of 1,064 nm and an average power of 20W (available in 30W and 50W).

Heimatec Inc. announces immediate availability of marking and cleaning tools from its European partner Andreas Maier, under the AMF brand. The announcement was made by the president of Heimatec Inc., Preben Hansen. “This development brings additional products to our current customers and responds to the market needs for quality marking and cleaning tools for workpieces in CNC machining,” he observed.

Kwik Mark Inc. offers the KM-1207 benchtop dot peen marker, with a large 12” x 7” marking area to suit most industrial marking applications. It can engrave on materials ranging from hardened tool steels to delicate plastics.

Tapmatic's Scribewriter Force II allows end users to utilize a single setup and mark a part with any logo or text as it is being made. This eliminates the need for separate stand-alone marking machines.

FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving has further optimized the capability of its CO2-laser marking systems. In response to increasing demands for marking quality and speed, FOBA introduces 10- and 30-watt lasers that mark a broad range of materials with variable contents.

The new 100-Watt fiber laser FOBA Y.1000 operates up to 40 percent faster than common 50-Watt lasers and allows for marking substrates that are usually difficult to mark with other models. It applies robust marks on heavy wear products to ensure abrasion-proof legibility.

The redesigned Tag Master 3 from Kwik Mark Inc. uses dot peen technology to permanently mark industrial components. The automatic feeder/marker was developed to eliminate the problematic tag feeding issues of escaping tags from the bottom of the magazine.

Kwik Mark Inc. introduces its new line of X Series markers, which reportedly improve overall operation and streamline every aspect of marking your products. The smarter design boasts high performance for the most demanding applications.

Leading Marks LLC announces a package for pattern labeling that improves legibility for cast-in identification, and provides cost savings through labor and material costs. A marking press and a custom designed accessory package impact legends in one stroke of the press rather than rotating wheels one character at a time.

Trotec is offering the MOPA fiber laser source as an option for its SpeedMarker galvo laser marking systems. MOPA technology opens up a new world of possibilities for marking metals and plastics because it allows the user to select pulse durations (between 4 and 200 ns), which provides a much wider range of laser parameters, more options for creating high-contrast, homogeneous markings, and the ability to mark colors on some metals.
