A new standard black laser annealing
Black laser annealing
What is black laser annealing?
Black laser annealing is a printing technique that uses
laser irradiation to heat up metal surfaces and form oxide
films that appear as letters printed in black*. In contrast to
traditional techniques involving metal surface etching, the
absence of depressions or burrs keeps surfaces level. This
makes black laser annealing the best printing technique for
target objects such as bearings that require high surface
precision.
* Black laser annealing may not be possible with certain materials.
SIMPLE
Wide marking range achieved through
a newly developed optical design
Reliable black laser annealing used to require strict management
of the target's work distance. With the LP-S500W series, you
now have ±15 mm
thanks to a newly developed optics design. There is no longer
a need to do process changeovers for lines producing products
of different sizes. And, because printing is done uniformly
regardless of height differences, the LP-S500W series helps
improve production reliability.

Visualize the marking range:
New dual pointer marks
The LP-S500W series allows the operator to visualize the
marking range based on the relationship between the
positions of the guide laser and laser pointer. Now you
can check target object position and height based on the
laser pointer's marker positions.
Deviation amounts can also be checked. With this feature,
equipment setup and maintenance gets a little easier.
