Omron MK-Z fibre laser markers

Omron’s MX-Z fibre laser markers are designed for deep or shallow engraving on metals and fine mark processing on plastics. With durable IP65 certification, the laser head has a double glass cover for stable operation even in dusty and wet environments. The product further meets international standards and regulations with two built-in safety relay circuits to meet with ISO 13849-1 criteria.

The device features two operation modes — standard mode and Energy Enhanced Mode (EE) — that allow users to choose from fine detail or deep engraving depending on their application. The standard mode offers flexible pulse control of up to 1 MHz (1–20 pulses adjustable) for optimum high-speed marking. The EE mode is for deep engraving of metal and intense energy processing with increased pulse control of up to 30 pulses.

Using a flexible high-precision z-axis, marking on 3D objects is possible, including sloped, curved, conical or sphere-like surfaces. Marks can be clearly marked on any object at a high speed due to Omron’s Galvano Dynamic Acceleration Control (G-DAC) feature that adjusts the speed according to the marking details for clean marking. All the marking data can be edited on the laser marker without the need for an additional software, simplifying the process.

The series can work stand-alone with its direct finder link feature, which directly connects the image processing system to the laser marker. Alternatively, the product can connect to various external devices (such as PLCs) via EtherNet/IP, serial communications or digital I/O.
