Lasers from ACI’s Economy Diode series are the ideal entry-level systems for small and medium-sized enterprises that need to undertake a moderate amount of marking work. You can choose between a 4 W system (Smart Marker I) and a 10 W system (Smart Marker II), depending on the application and the time available for the marking process.
The DPL Smart Marker offers an affordable entry point into laser marking with high precision and minimal maintenance. Designed for small to medium-sized enterprises, it provides reliable marking performance on metals, plastics, and ceramics in a compact, robust format.
Choice of two power levels: Smart Marker I (4 W) or Smart Marker II (10 W) depending on marking needs.
Nd:YAG economy diode design with a short resonator, delivering excellent beam quality for sharp, precise markings.
Thermoelectric air cooling—no complex cooling systems required—minimizing downtime and maintenance.
Laser safety Class 4 by default, with upgrade options to Class 1 via protective enclosures.
Operated using Magic Mark software, allowing text, graphics, barcode/data matrix, serial numbers, logos, and 360° rotational marking. Advanced user access management included.
Compact and lightweight (15–16 kg); interfaces include USB, interlock, external control, with optional plugins for automation.
Properties
The short resonator affords exceptional beam quality, which enables neat, precise marking on metals, plastics, ceramics and other materials. The lasers feature a thermoelectric air cooler. High-maintenance air/water coolers and water coolers are not used for these lasers, sparing users laborious maintenance work and costly downtime.
This system is a laser safety class 4 solution. To upgrade the system to laser safety class 1, all ACI’s laser systems can be purchased in conjunction with various protective casings. This means that these laser systems can be used either as manual workstations or as integration components in an automated system.
Software
The laser system is controlled using our proprietary Magic Mark marking software. This software enables workpieces to be marked with text, graphics, codes (data matrix codes, barcodes), serial numbers and logos. It can also be used to achieve uniform markings around the perimeter of workpieces with rotational symmetry. An intelligent user privilege management system facilitates the creation of different user groups. This way, the laser system can be adjusted to cater for the user’s specific requirements. When using the laser system in automated production lines, fully automated operation – including data exchange with various data sources – can be achieved without any difficulties. Optionally, plugins such as the code or script module can be used to add extra functions to the Magic Mark software.
