FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving’s laser marking station M2000-P, equipped with the Y.0201-DN fiber laser marker for paint removal and with integrated camera, supports vision-based part validation and mark alignment for a safe, economic, and highly precise application of brilliant laser marks on coated plastic used for day-night design applications.

FOBA’s Mosaic software feature makes product fixtures obsolete while guaranteeing a precise positioning of the laser marks. Due to its vision-based automated mark alignment, relative to the part, FOBA Mosaic not only reduces production costs but also simplifies the entire marking process.

A powerful 100W fiber laser system is capable of 600m/min. Due to its variable scan head tuning in two modes, the systems can also be employed to create precise and solid marks on applications with quality before speed requirements, so that FOBA’s Y.1000 marking laser can be used for processing products in serial production as well as individual components with high operational demands.
