Software Solutions for Laser Marking and Laser Engraving

Laser marking software is used to create marking content (e.g., text, DMC/QR, logos, serial numbers), transfer it to laser systems, and verify it in a process-reliable manner. Modern solutions combine design tools, axis/process control, and image processing for automated, traceable marking. 

Significance for industrial applications

In industries such as medical technology, automotive, and electronics, laser marking software ensures traceability (e.g., UDI, DMC), process stability, and consistent quality—right through to pre- and post-checking of the marking within a closed workflow.

Advantages over manual or alternative methods

Laser marking solutions are contactless, flexible in terms of content, permanent, and require no consumables. Compared to pad printing, CIJ, or labels, they are more economical and easier to integrate into digital manufacturing processes. 

User-friendliness

FOBA MarkUS offers an intuitive designer interface with powerful layout and workflow functions, including axis control and plug-ins for reliable operator guidance. 

Camera-assisted marking alignment

FOBA vision systems such as IMP or Through-the-Lens enable automatic component recognition and WYSIWYG positioning for repeatable laser marking. FOBA Mosaic™ detects the position of randomly placed components and aligns markings precisely—without the need for product holders.

Code validation, serial numbers, UDI labeling

Integrated verification steps cover OCV, 2D code readback, and UDI validation—for compliant, machine-readable markings in regulated industries. 

Integration into MES/ERP systems

Open interfaces (e.g., TCP/IP, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, I/Os) and remote options facilitate integration into lines, systems, and control systems; marking jobs and serial data are transferred securely.

Compatible laser devices
(e.g., FOBA M-Series)

Seamless collaboration with M workstations (e.g., M1000) and M2000/M3000 for Class 1 laser processes.

Interfaces and automation

TCP/IP, PROFINET, PROFIBUS, EtherCAT, I/Os, axis control (up to 5 axes), and remote access enable fully automated, networked marking processes. 

Plug-and-play vs. customization

From standard to customized solutions, including accessories, vision, and customer-specific software—perfectly suited to your line, cell, or manual workstation.
