i104 HD industrial marking laser, laser engraving machine for production line integration

The I-104 HD is a fiber laser marking head designed for integration into production lines. Fiber laser technology offers next-generation performance and durability. Our HD laser marking systems feature a high-performance ytterbium-doped MOPA (Master Oscillator Power Amplifier) fiber laser source.

Thanks to its power, the I-104 HD laser marking head delivers high-contrast marking on all types of materials, including steel, aluminum, stainless steel, titanium, and plastics. It produces particularly precise markings of logos, alphanumeric codes, standard 1D and 2D codes, and DataMatrix codes. Cycle times are reduced on materials such as aluminum, while contrast is enhanced on plastics.

The I-104 HD laser marking system is extremely compact, making it easy to integrate into an enclosure or onto a production line. It can operate with or without a PC. In standalone mode, a single connection allows the laser to be fully controlled by your PLC.

Our laser marking machines can therefore be easily integrated into production lines using Profibus, Profinet, or EtherNet/IP fieldbus protocols, with optional communication boards.

The I-104 HD marking laser is highly cost-effective. It meets your specific requirements and offers a fast return on investment (ROI). Its high durability and minimal maintenance requirements allow us to guarantee 100,000 hours of operation.

Our laser experts and technical teams are available to conduct marking tests on your actual parts under real-world conditions and recommend the most suitable settings for your specifications.

The 3D marking function gives the possibility to mark in a volume at more or less 40 mm from the focal plane. The marking quality and the laser speed are maintained. This function also allows a quick change of reference in the case of parts with variable height.

The integrated reading function allows automatic replay of 2D and 3D codes. Once the cycle is started, these are immediately read in the same program sequence without any additional movement. The reader communicates the read result with an evaluation of the code quality. The proposed system allows a reading of the code whatever its position in the marking window.

This suction system is a fume extractor directly linked to the laser station with suction hose. It is necessary to treat the toxic fumes generated by the laser and prevent clogging of the lens. It is equipped with a high-efficiency submicron air filter, a prefilter and an activated carbon filter.
