What is a fiber laser?
A fiber laser marker utilizes a fiber optic cable that has been fixed with Yb (Ytterbium) as a laser generating medium.
The fiber laser doesn't require an amplifier and offers higher performance compared to solidstate lasers, making it possible to decrease the size of the marker. A high light conversion ratio allows for decreased power consumption compared to conventional laser markers. //
The MD-F Series combines a "high-power 30W output" and "naturally-cooled fanless marking unit" by maximizing the cooling effect using original technology developed by KEYENCE. This brings dramatic improvement to marking time and quality in most applications. //
The MD-F Series head size makes it easy to place the laser into any manufacturing environment or system; with its 16.4 feet of fiber optics cable length. //
Application:
The high-power fiber laser marker plays an important role in every industry including the automotive, precision part manufacturing, and medical industries. //
Percision 2D code great for marking high speed precision marks on metal components. This 30W fiber laser marker allows for deep engraving. The MD-F series allows for high-speed marking on products which require minimal surface damage such as bearings and industrial tools, also known as Annealing. This is due to the simple and accurate defocus feature. The MD-F series laser is versatile enough to mark on plastics. //
The 3D configuration software allows users to precisely lay out what is to be marked on any shaped target in the 3D edit screen. Since it is possible to mark anywhere within the 3D marking field, mounting constraints can also be accounted for in the laser marker program adding flexibility in the placement of marking equipment on the production line.
Using 3D CAD data (STL format), the actual profile of the target can be imported into Marking Builder. The user can then lay out marks anywhere on the custom target. //
Automatic laser power check
The power monitor displays the actual marking power output instead of the LD intensity, which allows users to precisely monitor the state of the unit.
The MD-F Series has a built-in laser power monitor in this world's smallest marking unit. Thus, external devices are no longer necessary since it is now possible to do easy and accurate measurement of laser outputs without making contact with the equipment. This makes on-site preventive maintenance easy for any operator and will ensure that each mark is made with the same quality and consistency, regardless of the age of the marking head. //
Sample marking feature
Using a combination of laser power, marking speed, pulse frequency (Q-Switch) and spot variable, the sample marking feature is a useful tool that marks characters while automatically adjusting parameters identified making it quick and easy to determine the optimal marking condition for the specific type of material. //
Multiple guide laser function
A visible red laser beam scans the item to mark simulating the actual marking laser to ensure accurate marking location has been identified. There are four features to this guide laser. Using the guide laser will ensure the mark is never out of position.
(1) Area guide laser
(2) Workpiece image guide laser
(3) Guide laser one time or continuous
(4) Block frame guide laser //
Software
(1) Marker Builder 2 is an easy to use editor allowing for 2D and 3D marking.
(2) Z-MAP Creator is used to import 3D CAD data (.STL format), containing the actual profile of the marking target. The user can then lay out marks anywhere on the custom target.
(3)Logo Designer is used to further manipulate logos by adding this optional, but included software package. Importing a .DXF CAD file into Logo Designer for a better quality logo mark and also allows for setting start and end marking parameters. This allows for creating the best and fastest logo mark. //
Advantages of a fiber laser
(1) Available in 10, 20 and 30 Watt models
(2) Fiber diodes will last 30,000+ hours
(3) No consumables and minimal maintenance
(3) Fiber laser can be replaced in the field by customer with no laser alignment necessary
(4) Beam quality is higher than Flash Lamp, Diode pumped and Vanadate.
(5) High beam quality allows the 10W - 30W lasers to match the performance of a 85W laser for most applications
(6) Air-cooled design
(7) Better Cost of Ownership than Flash Lamp, Diode Pumped and
