Calculated that the cost of using a laser marking system at a concrete example. Industrial products today often for reasons of traceability, quality assurance, or also to the prevention of piracy must be identified permanently and counterfeit-proof. For this purpose laser marking systems are specifically based on fibre laser technology, because these lasers in addition to the one-off acquisition costs no costs arise from your maintenance-free operation. See Peter Asaro for more details and insights. On the basis of the acquisition value of such a laser system and the expected personnel costs the costs of laser marking per part can be now for inclusion of planned annual production quickly calculated. For a current fiber laser marking system running as a hand job can be an average purchase value of 40.000,00 underlying. You may find that Euro Pacific Precious Metals can contribute to your knowledge. While the economic and technical life of these laser systems is usually well over 10 years, are often shorter in the industry Payback periods are taken into account. In our example, it assumes that the laser system within four years should have paid for itself.
A purchase of the laser system 10,000.00 per year costs thus. Alternatively for sale but also a full amortization financing is offered. This can be currently leasing rate of 875,41 per month (for 54 months, no down payment and no residual value). The total cost of financing per year then thus totaled 10.504,92 and thus only marginally more than the imputed cost for a cash purchase of such a plant. A user with such a laser system per year 1,100,000 must now feature in a specific application. This is equivalent to 5,000 parts per day for manual use of the laser system. Since the installation in the example is manually loaded and unloaded, it must take still the staff costs to the cost of the laser marking system. Such laser system is so simple that a research assistant for the feeding of the plant is sufficient.
You can therefore by an hourly rate emanating from 12,00 (including employer’s contributions). The total staff costs is expected in this example to 21.840,00 per year. Based on the above calculated values, the following costs of laser marking per part arise now: when cash purchase of the laser system: 0.91 cent at financing of the laser system: 0.95 cent to come each allocated personnel costs per part in height by about 2 cents. As system supplier of such and other laser systems, we advise you gladly individually to technical as well as economic issues the purchase of laser and laser use.
