Small, Light Fiber Laser Head for Laser Marking



The small Titus marking head is easy to mount using "clamp'n go" brackets.

The Vector Scan Titus marking head, part of the new fiber laser marking system FOBA Y.0200-xs/Y.0300-xs, is not much larger than a pen.

The Titus marking head is available with straight-out (0°) or turned (90°) beam exit, as well as with a 3 m or 10 m long fiber laser umbilical, depending on the production requirements.

FOBA's Vector Scan laser marking head, called Titus, measures just over 20 cm long and weighs around 630 grams. As part of the new 20 watt or 30 watt FOBA fiber laser marking systems Y.0200-xs/Y.0300-xs, the marking head offers enhanced flexibility in terms of line integration, usability and speed.

Due to its small format and tubular shape, easy mounting with a clamping bracket and an optional supply line up to 10 m long, the Titus marking head can be easily integrated into a wide range of production lines. Its flexibility is also based on an optional straight or inclined by 90° exit angle of the laser beam and the ability to adjust the marking field size to the application requirements.

"During installation, savings of up to 90% percent of the time normally required is possible," said a company spokesperson. "Adjustment and focus determination as well as application set-up are significantly accelerated by the integrated focus finder and pilot laser."

The new laser marking system was developed in collaboration with and according to the needs of system integrators and the automotive industry. "With Titus, we are ahead of the market, because such a compact, fast-to-install and easy-to-use, even remotely operable marking laser has never been there," said Product Manager Philipp Febel.

The advantages of the new fiber laser not only result from its design, but also from the device software. All three available user interfaces from FOBA can be used to operate the system: FOBA MarkUS and FOBA Draw and the new remote FOBA Go. FOBA Go can be operated by any PC, touch display, tablet or other mobile device. All common industrial communication protocols are also compatible.

The maintenance of the system is simplified by the possibility of a minute-fast removal or conversion as well as a dust-protected lens. In harsh production conditions, the IP65 or IP69 standard of the marking head provides protection against dust and moisture. The low maintenance requirement also results from the very small number of wearing parts.
