High Contrasts on Demanding Surfaces Advantages of Marking with the Green Laser Marker

With the V.0102-gn, FOBA offers a laser marker in the green spectrum (532 nm wavelength) with low heat exposure. Thanks to 10 watts of laser power, markings are applied with superior speed and contrast sharpness to surfaces that cannot be marked sufficiently with other wavelengths. These include many white and transparent plastics, highly reflective metals and combinations of materials. Even red or orange plastic surfaces, which often provide poor contrast due to their color properties, receive best readable codes and characters.

 

Smooth power for special substrates

Wether in line or integrated in a production cell, the Green Laser proves an extended range of applicability. So that critical surfaces remain intact while obtaining high quality marks.

 

FOBA workflow included

The Green Lasers can be easily operated with FOBA's full workflow package: Upstream part inspection, precise automated mark alignment and verification of the marked characters, enabled by the integrated camera.

 

Ultra compact design

Thanks to its extremely compact design, the laser head is not only fully compatible with all M-Series machines, but can also be easily integrated into existing production lines. The flexible configurability of the V.0102-gn allows the laser head to be adapted to the specific requirements of the production environment. For example, the cable outlet can be designed variably via three variants, the writing head can be mounted in two different orientations and the laser head can be installed both horizontally and vertically.
 

 

Additive-free and material-friendly marking

The Green Laser offers outstanding absorption efficiency in plastics, making additives superfluous. This means lower material costs, no compromise on performance and more environmentally friendly production. The improved absorption also means less heat is introduced into the material, which reduces the risk of deformation and damage.

 

Long-life laser source

The exceptionally long service life is one of the advantages that characterize our Vanadat laser source. With this robust technology, you benefit from minimal downtime and significantly reduce your total cost of ownership (TCO). Thanks to the extended service life of the laser source, you need to invest less in maintenance and replacement, which not only reduces your costs, but also maximizes the efficiency of your machines.

 


Precise and Reliable Laser Markings Application Examples for Green Laser Markings

With wavelengths in the green range, the FOBA V.0102-gn green laser unfolds its full potential when marking plastics and is therefore predestined for direct part marking in medical technology, the electrical industry, automotive engineering and many other industries.

Medical Technology

  • High precision marking on surgical instruments, implants and medical technology products
  • Safe, secure and UDI-compliant laser marking of medical plastics
  • Material-friendly and biocompatible marking due to low heat input
  • Extremely resistant to reprocessing procedures (sterilisation, passivation, etc.)

Automotive Industry

  • High traceability thanks to extremely precise markings
  • Resistant to abrasion, heat and chemicals
  • Speed and efficiency to shorten process times
  • Simple integration and connection to production control systems

Electronics

  • Low heat development of the green laser protects sensitive electronic components from damage
  • Laser marking also possible on red or orange plastic surfaces
  • High absorption with reflective materials and therefore better marking quality
  • Permanent marking, high-contrast and high-resolution, even at minimum size

FOBA's Green Laser

FOBA's green laser marker V.0102-gn has a wavelength of 532 nanometers and is therefore located in the middle of the visible - and in this case green - wavelength range. Compared to our infrared marking lasers, which have a wavelength of 1064 nanometers, the heat input of the green laser is relatively low.

  • High marking speed with up to 6,000 mm/s or 700 characters/s
  • Can be combined with the camera-based FOBA workflow
  • IMP technology with intelligent marking alignment and integrated component and character inspection
  • Easy operation with FOBA MarkUS, FOBA Draw or browser-based with FOBA Go
  • Can be integrated into the M-Series
