Sub Contract

Fiber Laser Marking (FLM) also provides laser marking and engraving sub contract services. We can accomodate part quantities anywhere from one, to tens of thousands. Our tooling and automation expertise can result in the best mark quality at the best price.

FLM employs the latest fiber lasers and technology in its Fiber Laser Marking Systems. These lasers have the absolute best laser beam quality to produce the finest of mark detail in the finished product. The resultant effect on the component part being marked is held to an absolute minimum because of the high speed of the process and minimal heat input.

Fiber Laser marking's laser / scanning control software offers a robust and flexible solution to make your laser marking project a success. The control software is a fully featured, professional Windows based software package for laser marking, coding, perforating, and many other laser scanning applications. When combined with the 2 axis scan head and a laser, the laser processing possibilities are endless.

The software allows graphics job editing that enables you to assemble images, text, and barcodes and quickly arrange them into marking jobs. With a simple point and click, you can graphically edit marking objects, precisely control laser parameters, and build automation scripts within a single interface. You will be able to define and run jobs within a few minutes. This high performance, laser scanning control solution is designed specifically to run on Windows XP.  

The Fiber Laser Marking's Scan Head offers higher performance in a small package. The Scan Head is the smallest and fastest 10 mm head in the industry. The scan head is designed to ease design-in and manufacturing issues by reducing the need for specialized tooling and highly skilled assemblers and features the following:

10mm Beam Apertures

Smallest, Fastest 10mm Scan Head in the Industry

Rugged, Sealed, Plug and Play Module

XY2-100 Digital or Analog Interfaces

Industry Standard 2 Bolt, 2 Pin Alignment

Windows XP / Vista Based Software Support

Packaged in a class IV enclosure, the scan head can operate in harsh industrial environments.  The scan heads are run through a battery of tests and must pass an extensive burn-in process.

Scan Heads feature the fastest and most accurate galvanometers with exclusive ceramic rotor technology for superior performance. Scan heads also feature high quality ceramic ball bearings for long life operation.

The laser scanning head operates on the basis of the following schematic:

The scanning head accepts the parallel laser beam (approximately 10 mm in diameter) that exits the beam expander that is an integral part of the fiber laser. The beam first strikes the X-axis scanner mirror and then the Y-axis scanner mirror and is subsequently projected into the F-theta focusing lens.

The F-theta focusing lens then projects the laser beam to a focused spot on a flat plane that is the size of that lens’s scanning field. In this manner the computer servo controlled scan head dynamically vector projects the graphic image onto the work surface in that focal plane to mark or engrave the part placed in that field. The scanning mirrors are very light weight and low in inertia, and can move at very high speeds to laser mark parts at exceptional production rates.

The computer control can turn the laser beam on and off, vary the power and pulse frequency, and perform the appropriate number of passes required to produce the highest quality mark, and all relative to the position of the scanner mirrors at any given time.
