Laser marking in motion

In this article we are going to explain and detail a technically very advanced laser marking system that is constantly growing in the industry. This is the laser marking system in motion, also known as “Marking on the fly”, on which SIC Marking has developed special control software to provide the customer with the right solution for his needs.

Industrial laser marking: Marking on the fly

These in-motion marking lasers are designed for continuous industrial operation and are equipped with sophisticated control and calculation software to guarantee work without any disturbance or distortion during the marking process on the fly. Nowadays, in many sectors (especially in the automotive industry), a large part of their high production lines do not have enough cycle time to stop the part and mark it. In this case, SIC Marking and Sivart have developed this in-motion marking system.

With the laser marking system in motion, it is possible to mark at line speeds of up to 80 meters/minute, depending on the type of material and the content to be marked. SIC Marking 50W lasers are recommended and installed for this type of marking.

Advantages of laser marking in motion

Now that we have seen what exactly the laser marking system in motion is all about , let’s name the advantages that this type of system offers:

More automation possibilities: the ease with which it can be installed or integrated into the process, gives this type of lasers a high automation and production capacity.
Automatic marking: as mentioned above, the modernity of these in-motion marking lasers makes it possible to start the marking process just as the part in question is approaching.
High process safety: the reliability and adaptability of the laser allows precise and safe results.
Increased continuity for fast productivity: by not stopping the tape when marking parts, better results are achieved in much less time. This results in a substantial increase in productivity.

And to finish this article we leave you with a real demonstration to appreciate perfectly the operation of the system and the speed of marking “Marking on the fly”.
