New fiber laser marker family features the most compact design for unrivalled versatility and maximum uptime

Article Type: New products From: Assembly Automation, Volume 29, Issue 2

With ALLTEC LF100 and LF200 (Figure 3), ALLTEC GmbH introduces two new fiber laser markers that are compact, versatile and highly reliable for many applications in the electronics, automotive, tools and metal as well as aerospace, and medical devices industries. The ALLTEC LF100 and LF200 are capable of static and on-the-fly marking on a variety of plastic, metal and other hard to mark materials with 10 W (LF100) and 20 W of output power, respectively. The new fiber laser markers provide an unrivalled compact mechanical design with one of the smallest marking heads of its kind and straight-out or right-angle beam exits for increased versatility in tight spaces. Less-frequent maintenance intervals maximize uptime and reduce costs.

“Combining superior high-speed scanning technology, powerful software supports and a choice of marking heads (for 6 and 10 mm beam diameter) and beam turns (0° and 90°) no other manufacturer offers, the ALLTEC LF100 and LF200 are the smallest and easiest to integrate pulsed fiber laser markers available worldwide,” says Dr Manfred Suddendorf, Product Manager for ALLTEC’s Laser Business Unit. “The ALLTEC LF100 and LF200 set up quickly and integrate seamlessly into even the most complex and tight production lines.”

The new laser coders use a maintenance free, air-cooled Ytterbium fiber laser source instead of a gas laser tube or a laser rod which are used in CO₂ gas and Nd: YAG solid-state laser coders. Both ALLTEC LF100 and LF200 can quickly apply complex variable data such as high-quality identification matrix codes, bar codes, logos and serial numbers, on moving as well as static products. They also can mark a wide range of metal, ceramic or plastic parts with uncompromising quality, and are ideally suited for demanding (parts) marking applications, such as automotive, aerospace and electronic parts, medical devices, tools and other instruments.
