New Euromark Division Launches Equipment for High Integrity Permanent Laser Marking for Quality Assurance, Security and Safety

A new division of Euromark Coding and Marking, Vespalase, has been established to distribute laser coding and marking equipment.  The new range of printers answers the needs of manufacturers or packers seeking to permanently mark for quality assurance, security or health and safety reasons.  The machines have low lifetime cost, high reliability and offer maximum line uptime.  There are no consumables to buy, no routine maintenance and components have an extended service life.  

The laser codes the product or packaging clearly with vector high quality fonts that cannot be removed without leaving evidence. This makes the process especially suited for high-integrity security marking in engineering, automotive, aerospace, pharmaceuticals, fine foods and other industries where permanent traceability marks are a key element of QA compliance.  

Machines can be programmed to meet a diverse range of marking tasks.  Conventional and 2D matrix barcodes present no problems.  With an extensive library of alphanumeric symbols, multiple language capability and an ability to easily interface with graphics software, the machines can produce text, logos, warnings, safety and statutory information and many other marks with greater definition than continuous ink jet.    

Set up is simple, either from the local control station or remotely via a network.  Control software is easy to use being icon driven through a graphical user interface.   Each machine is potentially multi-tasking and can be programmed to accomplish a variety of coding and marking tasks.  Custom marking operations can be entered on the local control panel.  All programming, revisions and operations can be logged for security, QA and traceability.  The machines have a comprehensive range of connectivity options including USB, RS232 and LAN/Ethernet.

Power consumption varies from 10 to 100 Watts with water cooling available for high power machines on heavy duty applications.  Where substrates give off fumes when marked, Vespalase can supply efficient localised fume extraction.  

The Vespalase machines are designed for reliability and intensive use.  Models embrace both CO2 and Fiber technology and can mark at a rate of 1600 characters per second.  Tubes in the CO2 laser have a projected 30,000 hour working life rising to 100,000 hours for the Fiber model.  With only a single phase connection machines are easy and inexpensive to install and relocate.
