Laser L-Box Marking System

The Laser L-Box from SIC Marking is a compact and very easy to use marking system that fits easily on a workbench. Equipped with an Ytterbium-doped fiber laser source, its power allows it to produce high-contrast markings in milliseconds. It is designed so that users with a minimum of training (laser safety training) in this technology can operate it intuitively. Cost-effective and versatile, it is intended for industrial traceability and identification applications as well as for producing distinctive markings (logos, designs, etc).

Engineered with robust components, it can produce markings at high rates with extremely low operating and maintenance costs in any industrial environment. The lifetime of the pumping diodes allows up to 100,000 hours of laser operation.

The Laser L-Box marks metals of all types (including steel, aluminum, stainless steel and titanium), composites, ceramics and most plastics (depending on the base material, additives and pigments). The viewing window and interior LED lighting allow easy monitoring of marking operations.

The Laser L-Box features many options:

-Rotary D-axis

-Motorized Z-column station for series marking and good ergonomics

-Custom-welded support frame

-Slide or turntable station for series marking

The Laser L-Box features a one-piece design: the beam is generated by the highly compact source then delivered through a fiber optic cable extending all the way to the part via the galvanometer head and lens. Unlike with the previous generation of laser-marking machines, no optomechanical adjustments are needed.
