Laser System Details

Be sure to check out our advantages on the Featured Equipment web page.

*Pulsed Fiber Laser Source* Our pulsed fiber laser source features 50,000 hours MTBF , versus 10,000 hours max MTBF on Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 (Vanadate) laser sources. Much higher reliability is frequently achieved, even to 100,000 hours. Our laser marker, including the laser source itself, operates in an extended temperature range between 0°C and 45°C (32°F + 113°F). Humidity tolerance is 0% to 90%.
Materials Marked Kevron laser markers are effective on many materials, including:
all metals most plastics rubber printed circuit boards silicon
*Software* Kevron laser markers are driven by proprietary in-house software written and constantly improved to be the state of the art. Our standard software has one of the most flexible user interfaces available on any laser marking system from which you can choose either of two forms:
Drag and drop graphical user interface (GUI) High turn / low volume applications Simple manual user interface Fully sortable marking file structure WYSIWYG Marking Palette Industrial GUI High volume variable data applications Fully sortable and customizable marking file structure File cloning for similar marking files Exact coordinate object placing Remote access/control from external databases and controllers Ultra high speed USB2 data transfer Customizable by software staff
Mark Types The following types of mark are supported by our software: Alphanumeric characters, all fonts and sizes Elliptical alphanumeric (ID & OD orientation) 2-dimensional bar codes Linear bar codes Custom 2DMI codes Serialization with automatic or manual increment Graphics, including Company logos True grayscale photos (better quality than black & white) Vector files Line drawing Rotary (circumferential marking on cylindrical objects) Dynamic marking (mark on the fly)
*Standard options* Class I enclosure Interlocked light-tight box with manual door, fume extraction port and focusing diode Automated bellows Pneumatic bellows automatically close with mark activation and raise at completion of mark
Rotary chuck ID and OD circumferential marks on cylindrical parts Automated Z axis option for variable diameter parts
X/Y Table Mark large areas or trays of multiple parts Manual Z axis Automated Z axis Ideal for tray handling on mid to high volume work cells Automated Class I bellows or automated Class I box
*The Kevron “Race track” – a palletized conveyor work station* Unique among laser marker manufacturers, Kevron, Inc. offers a ready-to-use “race track” with the laser marker already integrated into a work cell, along with automated Class I bellows and every thing else required to just switch on and mark. Our race track conforms to production line standards so that it can also be inserted in-line or as a spur with minimal effort. We currently offer two sizes: 24" oval 36" oval
*The Most Integration Friendly System Available*

We understand that our laser product has to work for you in your environment, all day, every day. We provide a hardened industrial stand-alone laser marker which is easy to expand into large automation systems. To this end, experienced integration engineers were involved in the design of our product from the beginning. This is best demonstrated with the following built-in features of our Kevron laser markers: 4 axes of motion control capability 12 inputs and 12 outputs which eliminate need for external controllers in small to medium automation projects Complete remote control for fully automated production facilities Kevron laser marking systems are integrateable with external databases or variable data from test stations *Fastest laser marker* The Kevron laser marker is the fastest laser marker on the market. Our laser marker will always be waiting for the material to absorb the energy from the light; the light will not be waiting for the marker to render and position before shooting the beam. Send us your sample marks and materials for a benchmark speed test. Kevron, Inc. offers a laser marking system that has been designed for true industrial applications. *Integration* Kevron products are easily integrated into high speed production lines. Our system enables easy data interchange with external databases (production, scheduling, quality, etc.) and with variable data from test stations and the production line itself. *Harsh environments* The marking head is contained within a sealed cavity to keep out dust, oil, moisture and other contamination. The unit continues to operate normally within an extended temperature range of 0°C and 45°C (32°F + 113°F) and humidity between 0% and 90%. *Low maintenance* Kevron laser markers require minimal maintenance - just keep the lens clean. A 115V conventional wall plug is all that is necessary to run our equipment.
