OVERVIEW

We are honoured b y your c hoice of a Data logic produc t, spec ificall y a new product belonging to the VlaseTM product fam ilies, which aim to satisf y new market evolutions, and especially the integrat ion industrial laser sources.

OPERATION OF A LASER SYSTEM WITH GALVANOMETRIC SCANNING

The laser generates a train of high-energy pulses of invisible radiation. In order to obtain a mor e accur ate focus, t he laser beam is f irst enlarged using an optica l expans ion s ystem and then deflected by a scanning system consisting of two mirrors mounted on galvanometric motors. These mirrors deflect the beam in a controlled beam along the X and Y axes; processing of the product surface occurs by coordinating the movement of the two motors with the turning on/off of the laser beam. The deflected laser beam is focused by an F-Theta objective before it hits the surface of the product. Generally speaking, the marking is carried out within the focus of the beam.

MARKING SOFTWARE

The marking software Lighter is preinstalled on the system.

NOTE:

Consult Lighter software user’s manual for a proper use of the same.

NOTE:

Consult the proper Appendix to upgrade the preinstalled software if necessary.

The VlaseTM laser marking system features a control unit whose size is compatible with the standard 19” 2,5U in varnished steel, a nd a resonator whose compact dimensions make it eas y to integrate into a s ystem that comprises safet y devices required by applicab le regulations, the management of m arking signals and the customer’s complementary modules, if any.

All laser marking system connections are found on the rear of the rack: power supply, safety, electrical signals, communication ports, patch cord to the scanner head, while the front features key and enable command devices, status LED in addition to a USB connector for the communication with the internal embedded controller.

This signal is used to know if the system is already warmed up: (see 2.4.3.3)

- ON when the laser is in STAND_BY or READY state

Ground reference This signal is used to know if the system is in booting

up state or in error state: (see paragraph 2.4.3.3)

- ON during BOOTING UP

- ON in case of system error

This signal is used to know if the system is ready to emit laser radiation: (see paragraph 2.4.3.3)

- ON when the system is in READY state

This signal is used to know if a document, sequence or script is loaded and ready to be executed:

- ON when a document or a sequence is running in AUTO MODE (**) or WORK MODE (**) (SW_READY COMPATIBILITY (**) = true)

- ON when a document or a sequence is running in AUTO MODE (**) and laser in READY state (SW_READY COMPATIBILITY (**) = false)

- ON when a script is running n AUTO MODE (**) and “IoPort.setReady (true)” function is used
