New Electrox marking lasers
New Electrox marking lasers
Keywords: Lasers
Electrox Scriba machines have long been regarded as the industry standard for laser marking. Now, the 600 Group company's newly launched Scriba "plus" versions of these popular Nd:YAG laser markers offer greater flexibility and productivity than ever before. Industries served include computers, telecommunications, electronics, tooling, medical equipment, giftware, as well as throughout general engineering (see Plate 1).
The recognised ability of the Scriba family of laser markers to fit easily into widely differing production environments for fully-integrated marking, along with its ease of use, has now been markedly extended with the introduction of the new "plus" versions. Software enhancements derived from the company's own internal development capability enhance the systems in several ways, including: higher levels of user friendliness, better compatibility with other devices and more capacity plus greater flexibility coupled with ease of use.
Entry level system
Scriba Eplus is an entry level system for the low to medium volume user that does not compromise on quality or reliability. Rated at 75W, Scriba Eplus offers marking speeds up to 3,000mm per second and can put down 1mm high characters at up to 300 per second. With its newly extended pulse frequency range Scriba Eplus is capable of marking a broader spectrum of materials, including stainless steel.

High performance lamp pumped systems
For high performance applications the 90W and 120W Scriba II plus, lamp pumped laser marking systems provide marking at up to 5,000mm per second and are capable of putting down 1mm high characters at up to 500 per second.
Diode pumped systems
Scriba D40 plus is the 40W diode pumped implementation of the Scriba concept that takes advantage of the many benefits of diode technology. First, diode pumping provides higher quality marking through better beam stability and reduced spot size. Integrated chillers reduce the hardware footprint while direct connection to single phase (domestic-type) electricity supply simplifies installation – and with diodes guaranteed at 10,000 hours, Scriba D40 plus offers improved reliability and lower maintenance.
Flexibility and productivity
Both Scriba II plus and Scriba D40 plus are available as twin head models – Scriba II Duo plus and Scriba D40 Duo plus – which have two marking heads to give the ultimate in speed and throughput.
