High Pulse Marking Laser

TRUMPF's TruMark 5070 fiber laser features increased average output power and a high repetition rate for faster processing speeds, according to the company. "Its high pulse frequency makes this infrared laser especially productive for deep engraving metal or ceramics, ablation and high-speed laser marking of metals and plastics," said a company spokesperson.

The TruMark 5070 features a scanner unit and an automatic detection of the focal position. A camera system enables the user to easily position the laser beam on the workpiece. According to the company, this feature is especially beneficial for frequently changing parts or when the marking levels vary in height within a batch of components. In addition to the focal position, sensors also automatically detect the position of the component to be marked. If the part is improperly positioned or turned, the marking process will be modified accordingly.

Potential applications include the ablation of coatings over large surface areas, either for cleaning purposes or in preparation for processing. It is also productive when processing plastics and creates continuous marks on long cables. In addition, the TruMark 5070 may be used for labeling parts with a data matrix or barcode, providing traceability of a component over its life cycle.
