CO2 Laser Marker LP-RH Series

Basic Information

Improved Speed and Precision!

UL/C-UL , CE , FDA , GB , UKCA Approved
GB:Conforming to GB 7247.1

Features

Improved speed and precision

High-speed vector processing engine (VPE)

The dedicated engine (VPE^*) for the generation of vector data for marking and processing achieves high-speed marking. The resolution of positioning data for laser scan control has been increased fourfold and the communication speed for galvano mirror positioning control has also been made four times faster. The new engine realizes quicker and more precise engraving as compared to our previous models (LP-400 series).
*Vector Processing Engine

Resolution of instruction signals to the galvano improved by four times

Smoother values of coordinates for interpolation of lines
○: Coordinate instruction value

Two-dimensional code Raster setting reduces takt times by about 40%* with no change in marking quality.

* When compared to previous LP-400 series

The raster marking setting optimizes the two-dimensional barcode engraving sequence to realize faster and higher-quality marking.

(Marking condition) Overall size: 7.2 × 7.2 mm, number of cells: 22 × 22, cell size: 0.30 × 0.30 mm

(Marking condition) Overall size: 7.2 × 7.2 mm, number of cells: 22 × 22, cell size: 0.30 × 0.30 mm

Startup time reduced by about 80%*

The time from the startup of the laser marker system to the startup of laser oscillation is reduced by about 80% as compared to our previous model (LP-400 series). The shorter startup time significantly reduces the waiting times at the time of facility startup, at the time of reset from power OFF triggered by safety circuit, etc.

* When compared to previous model (LP-400 series)

■ Comparison of system startup time and laser excitation time

	Previous LP-400 series	LP-RH series
System startup time	Approx. 75 sec.	Approx. 10 sec.
Laser excitation time	Approx. 15 sec.	Approx. 5 sec.

Significant reduction of system startup time and laser excitation time

Simplifies facility designs

Head rotating mechanism [Standard models (horizontal type)]

The head is structured to allow flexible angle setting in a range of 350 degrees. The head angle can be rotated according to the marking surface angle to facilitate the installation along the line. This minimizes the installation spaces and eliminates the need for complex jig design. Simple jigs can be employed even when marking in the upward direction or at an oblique angle.

* Multiple units set up in different directions are shown in each of the above illustrations for the explanatory purpose.

Installation footprint: Smaller than a B5 sheet of paper [Tower head models (vertical type)]

The head measures 230 mm x 175 mm 9.055 in x 6.890 in and is smaller than B5 size. The LP-RH series can be installed easily in existing lines, without worrying about a lack of space. The new series also allows for compact equipment designs, so it significantly reduces the required installation space and helps cut the cost of facilities such as line machines and floor lighting systems.

Interchangeable with previous Panasonic Industry head

The installation dimensions and mounting hole size/layout of the LP-RH series are the same as those of the previous head (LP-400 series).
Furthermore, marking data and communication commands are also interchangeable.

* Marking quality, operation, etc., must be checked in advance.
