Basic Information

Improved Speed and Precision!
GB:Conforming to GB 7247.1
Features
Improved speed and precision
High-speed vector processing engine (VPE)
The dedicated engine (VPE*) for the generation of vector data for marking and processing achieves high-speed marking. The resolution of positioning data for laser scan control has been increased fourfold and the communication speed for galvano mirror positioning control has also been made four times faster. The new engine realizes quicker and more precise engraving as compared to our previous models (LP-400 series).
*Vector Processing Engine
Resolution of instruction signals to the galvano improved by four times
Smoother values of coordinates for interpolation of lines
○: Coordinate instruction value
Two-dimensional code Raster setting reduces takt times by about 40%* with no change in marking quality.
* When compared to previous LP-400 series
The raster marking setting optimizes the two-dimensional barcode engraving sequence to realize faster and higher-quality marking.
(Marking condition) Overall size: 7.2 × 7.2 mm, number of cells: 22 × 22, cell size: 0.30 × 0.30 mm
(Marking condition) Overall size: 7.2 × 7.2 mm, number of cells: 22 × 22, cell size: 0.30 × 0.30 mm
Startup time reduced by about 80%*
The time from the startup of the laser marker system to the startup of laser oscillation is reduced by about 80% as compared to our previous model (LP-400 series). The shorter startup time significantly reduces the waiting times at the time of facility startup, at the time of reset from power OFF triggered by safety circuit, etc.
* When compared to previous model (LP-400 series)
■ Comparison of system startup time and laser excitation time
Previous LP-400 series | LP-RH series | |
---|---|---|
System startup time | Approx. 75 sec. | Approx. 10 sec. |
Laser excitation time | Approx. 15 sec. | Approx. 5 sec. |
Significant reduction of system startup time and laser excitation time
Simplifies facility designs
Head rotating mechanism [Standard models (horizontal type)]
The head is structured to allow flexible angle setting in a range of 350 degrees. The head angle can be rotated according to the marking surface angle to facilitate the installation along the line. This minimizes the installation spaces and eliminates the need for complex jig design. Simple jigs can be employed even when marking in the upward direction or at an oblique angle.
* Multiple units set up in different directions are shown in each of the above illustrations for the explanatory purpose.
Installation footprint: Smaller than a B5 sheet of paper [Tower head models (vertical type)]
The head measures 230 mm x 175 mm 9.055 in x 6.890 in and is smaller than B5 size. The LP-RH series can be installed easily in existing lines, without worrying about a lack of space. The new series also allows for compact equipment designs, so it significantly reduces the required installation space and helps cut the cost of facilities such as line machines and floor lighting systems.
Interchangeable with previous Panasonic Industry head
The installation dimensions and mounting hole size/layout of the LP-RH series are the same as those of the previous head (LP-400 series).
Furthermore, marking data and communication commands are also interchangeable.
* Marking quality, operation, etc., must be checked in advance.
Laser Marker NAVI smart
The software allows for easy marking setting and easy maintenance. It reduces the man-hours required for installation and operation.

Cautions For Use
About laser light
- This product is a Class 4 laser product as defined by the JIS standards. Do not look directly toward the laser light or touch the laser light or its reflections. Be sure to take the required safety measures in accordance with the standards.
- The labels shown at the right are affixed on the product. (The labels are not affixed on the products shown in this website.)
- The laser light is an infrared light and invisible to the human eyes. Exercise caution when the laser oscillator is operating.
Warning, explanation, aperture labels
Use of dust collector recommended
- Some materials generate a toxic gas or smoke during laser marking, and this may cause adverse effects on the human health or laser marker. In such a case, use a dust collector. For more information, please contact our sales representative.
