Pulse oscillation fiber laser marker (FAYb laser)
What is FAYb laser?

In a revolutionary method, the FAYb laser amplifies a weak laser beam from a master oscillator as it passes through a fiber treated with the element ytterbium to emit a strong laser beam.

Long life and high reliability
The LD contains reliable and durable InGaAs (gallium indium arsenide). Since the LD lights only during marking, the heat load remains minimal and the product provides a long life.
High efficiency and energy saving
Because laser amplification takes place inside the fiber containing ytterbium, high beam-to-beam conversion efficiency of pproximately 50 % is achieved.
Compact head
The amplification section is contained inside the oscillator unlike solid lasers such as YVO4, so the head is compact and contributes to the reduction of equipment size.

Compact fan-less head with IP64 rating

The head was developed based on the fan-less head equipped in the LP-M series, so it is tough. There will be no entry of water drop and dust particles to cause problems.

No more cumbersome installation work
Removable head

With a conventional model, the head cannot be separated from the controller.
Therefore, installation or maintenance work requires the handling of the head that weighs more than 10 kg. The LP-RF series features a removable head, thus allowing the installation of the controller and head individually. This contributes to the reduction of man-hours required for installation and maintenance.

Measure against power supply noise

Electrical noise produced by equipment using a large amount of electrical current or generated in the surrounding area can affect the operation of the internal parts of the equipment and causes problems. Therefore, UPSs (uninterruptible power supply units) are installed to equipment in many production facilities as a measure against power supply noise. The laser marker controller of the LP-RF series is equipped with anti-noise parts such as a power transformer and varistor to ensure safe and reliable use of the laser marker on the production floor. This protects the internal parts of the laser marker from electrical noise and prevents problems caused by noise.

Automatic marking position correction

The PV230 scans and detects the position of the workpiece placed in the equipment.

Laser marking

The angle is corrected based on the scanned position information before the LP-RF irradiates laser beam.

Cross-check of scanned code information

Whether the marked 2D code can be scanned properly is checked, and the scanned information is crosschecked with the marking data.

Laser marking of design image in a simple way
Laser Marker NAVI Smart

The new "Laser Marker NAVI Smart" software, which was supplied with the LP-GS CO² laser marker and highly acclaimed, is provided with the product. Using the software, characters and logo marks and 2D code can be set and arranged on a PC or tablet. The screen layout can be customized to suit each work environment. The screen can be switched according to the purpose of use, such as for parameter setting or for workers.
