Unique Product Identification Code With Laser

Quality assurance, protection against counterfeiting, identification. Industrially manufactured components are usually provided with a unique identification number. The reasons for this are often complex. One reason may be the easier ordering of spare parts by the end customer. Another important point is the unique identification of products to the tracking of possible production faults as a quality assurance measure. Due by an increased wave of counterfeiting especially from Asia increasingly also industrially manufactured parts must, as mechanical components, tools and complete assemblies are marked clearly.

In all areas, it can happen that the space available on the respective workpiece for an extensive marking in clear text is not sufficient. An automatic reverse reading plain text information is often too complex and expensive. Here is the identification with the so-called code. The data matrix code is a two-dimensional, machine-readable code, the the stored information includes redundant. Thus, up to 25% of the code can be destroyed without compromising readability. Especially with more serious murder laser technology these codes can now very quickly, permanently and be applied flexibly with variable information on a wide range of materials (metals, plastics, ceramics u.v.m.).

Typically, a data matrix code with a capacity of approximately 40 characters takes a room of less than 5 x 5 mm. The marking time in the use of laser technology here is supplied normally in the range of 1-2 seconds. Very fast processes allow the marking in the range of a few hundred milliseconds. As a system supplier of such and other laser systems, we design complex special solutions and develop new procedures with you. Of course we offer the necessary accessories, marking to read out again.
