Laser Marking of Small Manufacturing Lots at High Throughput

Laser labeling and marking of metal serial parts is a well established technology in industrial manufacturing. From part or serial numbers to Data‐Matrix codes or logos, such data can be applied to parts permanently, quickly, and cost efficient. However, there are several ways to integrate laser labeling into manufacturing processes depending on volumes, production process, and desired degree of automation. Laser labeling units with rotary indexing tables are common, as provided by Trotec, e.g., to a customer for labeling metal filter caps.
