APPLICATION EXAMPLE
APPLYING HEAD MARKINGS TO AEROSPACE FASTENERS IS A COSTLY PROCESS
SAVE MONEY BY LASER MARKING YOUR HEAD MARKINGS
CUSTOMERS CURRENT PROCESS
- Stamping or forming head markings require many dies of the same size
- Die marking space is limited due to die push in thinning sections
- If marking isn't legible you can scrap an entire order
THE ABSOLUTE AUTOMATION ANSWER:
ADVANTAGES TO LASER MARKING FASTENERS
- Laser marking aerospace fasteners meets the criteria for legible markings
- Control depth penetration with settings
- Increase marking size for even more legibility
- Decrease your heading die count
- LASER MARKING meets standard for aerospace fasteners
ABSOLUTE AUTOMATION SOLUTION
- In this application we bowl feed titanium aerospace nuts into a dead nest.
- A camera vision system determines the parts rotation angle and the laser-marking-image is rotated for proper marking
- Laser marks 1 part every 2 seconds
- HEPA air filtration system
- Uses Windows software for generating marking images that can be saved
- Totally enclosed, safety ensured by door interlocks and safety master relays
This machine passed 21-CFR regulation for integrating Class IV lasers into Class I enclosures. All laser integration requires an accessions number from the FDA.
