New Laser Marking Technology on Display at IMTS
Niles, IL. (June 2002) - Geo. T. Schmidt, Inc. will display the new MicroLase laser marking system at IMTS 2002 in Booth #B-6169. The unit's unique compact design and innovative diode-pumped Nd :YAG laser combine to create a revolutionary new method of industrial non-contact marking.
The advanced MicroLase laser system replaces traditional laser technology - which utilizes a lamp to generate energy - with a new diode-pumped laser. This laser operates at lower temperatures, eliminating the need for external chillers. The result is a more efficient, cost-effective system that requires little maintenance.
The unit offers precise, non-contact marking on plastic, paper, glass, metal and ceramic at a rate of up to 150 characters per second. Schmidt's user-friendly software simplifies programming in Windows 95/98/NT environments.
Compact and lightweight, the MicroLase requires less plant floor space, making it ideal for integrating into a variety of Class 1 configurations. The biggest advantage the MicroLase technology offers may be the 10,000 hours of virtually maintenance-free operation -- no laser lamps to change or reflectors to clean.
Traditional laser marking systems cannot offer such longevity.
The MicroLase comes with a warranty, covering its first 5,000 marking hours. In that time, if anything goes wrong, Schmidt will replace the scanner head free of charge. "It is important to note that the warranty covers actual marking hours," said Schmidt product manager, Matt Beatty. "If a unit is turned on for eight hours, but only a few minutes of marking time has occurred, only that few minutes counts towards the 5,000 hours."
Additionally, Schmidt backs its equipment with more than a century of industrial product marking experience, along with its direct sales force and 24/7 service support.
