The unit’s unique portability enables laser marking to be completed anywhere in a facility, as opposed to the typical heavy, stationary laser marking setup. With MobiLase, laser marking can take place directly at the part instead of lugging parts to a laser marking station. This innovation eliminates costly downtime and investments in elaborate contraptions to mark large parts. The marking unit features a 30-watt fiber laser and a large, 100-by-100 mm marking window, delivering fast and durable laser markings on nearly any material ranging from plastics to steel to precious metals, among many others. The seven-pound handheld applicator is equipped with a trigger to start marking plus two bracket options for ease of marking various part shapes. These brackets also enable rapid focusing from a consistent, repeatable distance, which is further optimized by the laser pointer simulator.
The MobiLase features a touchscreen PC embedded in the suitcase, which enables a wide range of easily programmable and potentially intricate markings, including:
- Numbers, letters and characters
- Time and date
- Barcodes, 2D codes and QR codes
- Images, logos, symbols and more
