OPTIONS FOR USE
The D-Series Laser Marking Systems are suited for directly marking objects
by material removal, or by changing the colour of the material.
All painted, printed or anodised materials can be marked by material removal,
giving the marking contrast.
We highly recommended that the technical aspects of individual applications
are discussed with the manufacturer or the distributor.
D-Series Laser Marking System
The following materials can be marked with a CO

laser:
• Painted or coated metals
• Glass
• Ceramics
• Cardboard
• Various plastics.
PERFORMANCE DATA
The D-Series laser marking system can be used with indexed, continually
running, or intermittently running batch processing packaging machines.
The laser marking system operates automatically and adapts to the speed of
the object to be marked. This always guarantees marking of equal quality,
independent of the respective movement of the production line. The text or
the logo can easily be changed at any time via the provided user interface
software.
The marking speed depends on the following parameters:
• Number of lines and characters, size and complexity of characters
• The speed, at which the marked object is run
• Size and spacing of the marked objects.
For speeds currently valid for the individual systems, please refer to the
configuration data sheet.
This part of the manual contains an overview of the D-Series marking system
and its field of application. Choose the right system by considering the surface
condition of the materials to be marked, and the type and complexity of the
marking.
