Motion-synchronized marking
Marking on the fly (MOF) enables laser marking on production lines with high throughput. Markings are applied to products while they are in motion, without having to stop the conveyor belt. This optimizes the production process and increases efficiency.
The process can be used flexibly in various industries and is suitable for a wide range of applications - from marking battery foils and packaging to metal and plastic parts as well as electronic components. It is particularly suitable for applications where high speed and precision are required.
Marking on the fly allows products to be marked on conveyor belts or in rotary axes - without stopping the equipment.
In high-volume production, every tenth of a second counts - with marking on the fly, you can optimize your production line, save time and increase productivity at the same time.
An encoder integrated into the production line continuously provides the laser with information about the speed. A sensor detects the product to be marked and starts the marking process. During the marking process, the laser compensates for the movement of the product - even when the transport system accelerates and decelerates. The result is perfect, distortion-free marking - even at extremely high speeds!
