Original Press Release:
VectorMark® Compact Represents New Generation in Laser Marking Technology
FARMINGTON, Conn., June 3, 2002 - At FABTECH 2002, TRUMPF
will show the VectorMark® compact, a valuable tool for various
industrial and commercial marking tasks. TRUMPF's VectorMark
compact offers a space-efficient, reliable and easy-to-use laser
marking system.
The VectorMark compact occupies minimal floor space. The power
supply and cooling system are fully integrated. Its small size, fully self-contained design, and single 115-volt electrical connection give the user flexibility when positioning it on a busy shop floor.
The VectorMark compact is available as an OEM-component for
integration in automated production lines and as a standalone
workstation with a Class 1 safety enclosure and an integrated fume extractor. A motor-driven Z axis allows automatic adjustment of the focal distance to accommodate different workpieces; and a motor-driven vertical-lift front door simplifies exchanging the workpiece. Additional axes (rotary axis, X axis, Y axis) and a circular rotary table are also available as options. The high beam quality and superior optics of the VectorMark compact allows users to "write with light" to
achieve clean, crisp, permanent marks to distinguish their products.
As another successful addition to TRUMPF's time proven VectorMark
family of products, the VectorMark compact offers high productivity and rugged durability, especially in demanding multi-shift industrial operations.
The VectorMark compact features a two-tiered Windows® based
operating system. The first level allows operators to easily select messages to be marked on the workpiece in any of four languages. Messages are created in a powerful, vector-based graphics editor. Images can be imported in a variety of standard graphics formats and then scaled and edited within the VectorMark software. Variable data such as date codes, sequential numbers, and both standard and two-dimensional bar codes can be generated automatically by the VectorMark software. The second level of the operating system allows a programmer to completely integrate and automate the marking process through an included programmable controller via a high-level programming platform.
The frequency-doubled version of the VectorMark compact
(wavelength 532 nm) is ideal to mark synthetic materials even faster and with higher contrast. In addition, the use of a patented marking process allows many synthetics to be marked without deteriorating the surface quality of the material.
Requests for detailed information on the VectorMark product, including technical specifications, should be addressed to Tim Edwards, Product Manager for Laser Marking at 860-255-6011.
