Industrial marking requirements are not the same as they were even 10 years ago. Today, manufacturers need marking systems that are ultra fast, consistent, and produce marks permanent enough to support traceability throughout a product’s lifecycle. Production speeds have increased and compliance requirements are now more rigid. Older marking methods simply aren’t living up to […]
You have a project that requires permanently laser marking your products. Whether you need it soon (yesterday?) or a year down the road, it’s never too early to start your search when buying laser marking technology for your business.
MECCO advances laser engraving and processing with the acquisition of FARO Photonics, leading supplier of laser application components. By combining their scanner and software control technologies with MECCO’s application expertise, we are able to bring customers new opportunities for innovation.
Whether you’re an OEM looking for a more effective track and trace solution, or a brand owner battling counterfeits and knock-offs, you know how much value permanent marking can add. But which do you choose? Here are the essential dos and don’ts to streamline your decision-making process.
Finding and partnering with a supplier that has experience building complete solutions means that you also benefit from their experience for your speed to implementation. Here are three real-life examples of engineered solutions that manufacturers invested in.
You may have heard the term hybrid laser used to describe silicon lasers or laser arc welders in the semi-conductor industry. What is it? What are its benefits? And how can it be used in traceability?
We did the research. Now you can see what’s really behind hybrid laser hype and it’s benefit claims.
Laser marking technology is becoming more and more important in all realms of manufacturing. One of the most common questions we get at MECCO is “How do I choose the right marking technology for my application?” Here are three main considerations to help you in choosing the best laser technology.
Most factory equipment is controlled through programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to automate processes in assembly lines. While devices such as conveyors, robotic devices, and vision systems typically communicate directly with a PLC using EtherNet/IP™, historically, marking systems have not.
What’s the difference between a 2-axis and 3-axis laser? Learn why you many only need a 2D part marking system rather than an expensive 3D marking system.
