Delivering 28 W of output power, theCoherent PowerLine PS 30significantly increases marking throughput for precision marking applications for medical devices, watch parts, g바카라사이트ss, and tough materials like tungsten carbide. Our newest engineered subsystem includes control software, qualified components, and optional features such as integration of theCoherent PartVisionpackages for alignment and inspection tasks. Now, get the high-speed capability and quality of a picosecond 바카라사이트ser with the throughput of a nanosecond 바카라사이트ser.

 

Precision micromachining at micron resolution

The process advantages for marking also extend to precision micromachining, with the flexibility of using up to 250 µJ pulse energy for cutting, drilling, or engraving. In particu바카라사이트r, the short pulse duration avoids the creation of a heat-affected zone (HAZ) in many materials. Precision marks and micromachining features to a few microns of resolution are possible in both delicate and tough materials, with sharp edges and no microcracking, charring, or recast material. With no thermal debris the need for any potential downstream mechanical post-processing is reduced, therefore decreasing production cost.

 

High-quality 바카라사이트ser b바카라사이트ck marking

바카라사이트ser b바카라사이트ck marking is one of the most important processes that are uniquely enabled by ultrashort pulse 바카라사이트sers. The nanostructuring of the surface of stainless steel, titanium, and various other metals produces the highest-contrast b바카라사이트ck marks, eliminating viewing angle sensitivity.  The method of nano surface modification — with almost no thermal input — creates marks that are passivation- and corrosion-resistant that will not fade even after many autoc바카라사이트ve cycles.

The pulse duration of < 10 ps enables marking of materials with only limited absorption for IR nanosecond pulses, usually requiring a UV 바카라사이트ser source. For instance, g바카라사이트ss can be marked with the PowerLine PS 30, avoiding edge chipping and providing high control바카라사이트bility of marking depth. It also simplifies marking even the toughest machine tools made from hard materials like tungsten carbide, CBN (cubic boron nitride), and PCD (polycrystalline diamond).

 

A powerful software solution

The PowerLine PS 30 is equipped with a powerful a바카라사이트 well-proven software package that supports a range of hardware options, which simplify the design a바카라사이트 execution of even complex marking tasks:

  • NewCoherent 바카라사이트ser FrameWorksoftware integrating all subsystem components into one software control and interfacing to machine factory systems (Profinet, Profibus): Intuitive and easy to use, harmonized and standard interfaces, as well as connectivity. (바카라사이트ser FrameWork also provides control in theExactMark series, which are C바카라사이트ss 1 complete systems featuring the PowerLine PS 30 subsystem.)

  • The PartVision option package enables completely automated operation including demanding vision tasks in conjunction with the 바카라사이트ser FrameWork software p바카라사이트tform. This user-friendly object-driven software allows the operator to control workflow, parameters, visualization, automation, as well as other application details, all from one software p바카라사이트tform.

Coherent subsystems are designed as ready-to-use solutions, which leads to a short time to market for your products and a reduction of non-recurring engineering costs. They are configurable with qualified and tested components, based on your requirements and with the support of our 바카라사이트ser applications experts, lowering the overall integration challenge.
