Individual customer requirement

Our customer needed a quick and easy way to personalise large quantities of bottles, cups and the like. Typically, round or conical workpieces are clamped in flatbed systems or Galvolasers in a turning device. But this process is too time-consuming for large volumes. There is no standard solution on the market. Our team of Galvo experts has taken up the challenge.

Productivity solution

Developing completely new products costs our customers time and money, so we usually use the SpeedMarker workstations or the InMarker integrated laser series as a starting point. In this particular case, we have equipped a SpeedMarker workstation with a 3D function and a workpiece holder that allows the user to mark four cups at the same time. As with all our galvo systems, this system is controlled by the proven SpeedMark software. This makes it easy to process dynamic data.

Handling & applications

Thanks to the plug-in system, the workpiece carrier can be quickly assembled and disassembled as required. This means that the system can also be used for flat workpieces. For higher part numbers, systems with a larger workpiece holder, such as a SpeedMarker 1300, are also available on request. The laser power can also be selected from 45 to 120 watts to suit your specific application. Without the need for time-consuming clamping and set-up or slow mechanical turning, cups, glasses, bottles and other angled surfaces, spheres, bowls, cylinders and tubes can be marked up to 100 times faster.
