The system comprises the LM45, Q-switched Nd:YAG laser marker integrated with an ergonomically designed MW workstation, both from Unitek Miyachi Lasers.

Using high-speed X-Y galvanometers, the laser beam is directed to the work surface through a flat field lens, producing a 7.5in sq marking area.

Laser spot diameters down to 0.002in produce clean, crisp, high- contrast marks over the entire area.

The LM45 can directly and permanently mark a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, semiconductors and ceramics.

The system includes a built-in fume extractor and optical readers to form a fully self-contained unit, which can handle the entire laser marking process for any application.
