Geo. T. Schmidt, Inc. several months
ago introduced a new MicroLase laser marking system. The unit's compact design
and diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser combine to create a new method of industrial
non-contact marking.
The advanced MicroLase laser system replaces traditional laser technology - which utilizes a lamp to generate energy - with a new diode-pumped laser. This laser operates at lower temperatures, eliminating the need for external chillers.
The unit offers precise, non-contact marking on plastic, paper, glass, metal and ceramic at a rate of up to 150 characters per second. Schmidt's user-friendly software simplifies programming in Windows 95/98/NT environments.
Compact and lightweight, the MicroLase requires less plant floor space, making it ideal for integrating into a variety of Class 1 configurations. The biggest advantage the MicroLase technology offers may be the 10,000 hours of maintenance-free operation because of no laser lamps to change or reflectors to clean.
The MicroLase comes with a warranty, covering its first 5,000 marking hours. In that time, if anything goes wrong, Schmidt will replace the scanner head free of charge. "It is important to note that the warranty covers actual marking hours," said Schmidt product manager, Matt Beatty. "If a unit is turned on for eight hours, but only a few minutes of marking time has occurred, only that few minutes counts towards the 5,000 hours."
Additionally, Schmidt backs its equipment with more than a century of industrial product marking experience, along with its direct sales force and 24/7 service support.
