Portable, Flexible Fiber Laser Marker Circumvents Conventional Process Constraints
See Rocklin Manufacturing’s MobiLase portal laser marking unit in action, in addition to other maintenance and repair solutions, at IMTS 2022.
At IMTS 2022, booth #236304, Rocklin Manufacturing is exhibiting its portable coating, micro welding and marking solutions, including MobiLase, an all-in-one, portable fiber laser marking unit housed in a 45-lb rolling suitcase. While laser marking units are typically large, heavy, stationary machines, Rocklin says its lightweight MobiLase enables industrial strength laser marking to be taken directly to the part — versus a laser marking station —and completed anywhere. The innovation reportedly eliminates costly downtime and investments in elaborate contraptions to mark large parts.
Featuring a 30-watt fiber laser and a large, 100 x 100-mm marking window, MobiLase delivers fast and durable laser markings on nearly any material ranging from plastics, steel, precious metals, among many others. The 7-lb handheld applicator is equipped with a trigger to start marking, plus two bracket options for ease of marking various part shapes. These brackets also enable rapid focusing from a consistent, repeatable distance, which is further optimized by the laser pointer simulator. An optional laser stand accessory supports “hybrid” marking, or switching between portable and tabletop laser marking, quickly.
User-friendly software on the touchscreen PC embedded in the suitcase facilitates a wide range of easily programmable and potentially intricate markings, including:
- Numbers, letters, characters
- Time and date
- Barcodes, 2D codes, QR codes
- Images, logos, symbols and more.
