FAYb Laser Marker LP-S500W

What is black laser annealing?

Black laser annealing is a printing technique that uses laser irradiation to heat up metal surfaces and form oxide films that appear as letters printed in black^*.
In contrast to traditional techniques involving metal surface etching, the absence of depressions or burrs keeps surfaces level.
This makes black laser annealing the best printing technique for target objects such as bearings that require high surface precision.

Reliable black laser annealing used to require strict management of the target’s work distance. With the LP-S500W series, you now have ±15 mm ±0.591 in^* more flexibility in work distance thanks to a newly developed optics design.
There is no longer a need to do process changeovers for lines producing products of different sizes.
And, because printing is done uniformly regardless of height differences, the LP-S500W series helps improve production reliability.

The LP-S500W series allows the operator to visualize the marking range based on the relationship between the positions of the guide laser and laser pointer.
Now you can check target object position and height based on the laser pointer’s marker positions.
Deviation amounts can also be checked. With this feature, equipment setup and maintenance gets a little easier.

For accurate marking on workpieces with different heights, marking sizes, positions, etc.
need modification in consideration of each target’s height.
With the LP-S500W series, marking size and position are corrected automatically by entering the distances to each target object.
Setting for marking target objects of different heights just got much simpler.

A significant amount of heat energy used to be needed to achieve a sufficiently dark black laser annealing. Featuring a high-output 42 W FAYb laser, the LP-S500W series has twice the output of other models*. Improve productivity with black laser annealing that is faster and that produces darker markings.
