Automatic Engraving Machine

Automatic Engraving Machine for Worldwide Manufacturer

The requirement of Poclain Hydraulics, s.r.o. in this case was to laser mark the metal parts of the hydraulic motors. The carousel will be loaded by a robot in the production, which meets the current trends of automation, i.e. robotization. This task could be best accomplished with a similar marking carousel, complete with a reader.

The marked data itself is recorded in the form of a 2D code – datamatrix. This brings a number of advantages. From the easy traceability of the product to the ability to read the information despite possible partial damage to the description.

Proposed solution:

single-purpose marking station with a rotatable two-position carousel for engraving datamatrix codes with subsequent verification
the station is equipped with a 20W fibre laser with an f-254 lens with a marking field of up to 170x170mm
the laser bench has been clamped on the X axis
the machine is equipped with a reader for checking the correctness of the datamatrix code
the generation of datamatrix codes is handled by SamLight software, the data is provided by the Linmark user control environment, which was developed by our programmers
displaying the current data is handled by a monitor located on the machine, which displays all the information needed for operation

Description of the basic functions of the machine:

Parts based in a jig that is designed to accommodate all manufactured diameters. After foundation, the operator presses the two-hand control and the table rotates with the unbound piece into the interior of the machine. The laser begins to engrave a unique number on the piece along with a DMX code. Meanwhile, outside on the table, the operator is setting up a new piece. After the reading process to see if the DMX code is engraved correctly, all the data is shown on the display and the table is turned again at the push of a button and the whole process is repeated with the newly engraved piece.

Benefits:

This laser engraving machine has several advantages. From the contrast and permanent marking, to the time saving due to the two-position carousel, to the possibility of automated part insertion by robot, which the hydraulic motor manufacturer has planned.

More about the machine can be found in Complex laser technology projects.
