Business Diode UV diode-pumped laser marking system

Overview

Cold, high-contrast marking on plastics and glass

Business Diode UV is a diode-pumped Nd:YVO₄ system built for precise marking of plastics and glass. It puts very little heat into the workpiece, so even sensitive products take a high-contrast mark with almost no thermal or mechanical stress. Thermoelectric air cooling makes it stable and low-maintenance — there is no air/water or water cooling system to service.

Magic Mark control software

Every ACI system is driven by Magic Mark, the supplier's own marking software. It handles text, graphics, barcodes and Data Matrix codes, serial numbers and logos, and will mark right around a cylindrical part without a rotary attachment.

Operator permissions are set per user group, so a machine on the shop floor can be locked to running jobs while programming stays with the people who own it. On an automated line Magic Mark runs unattended and exchanges job data with your existing systems; plug-ins add code generation and scripting where a process needs them.

Certified functional safety

The laser itself is a Class 4 device. Its safety circuit is certified to EN ISO 13849 at Performance Level e, Category 4 — the highest level in the standard — so a fault brings the system to a safe state rather than an uncertain one.

Installed in one of the laser stations, the whole system becomes Class 1: safe to stand at, with no additional screens, interlocks or eyewear to manage. That is the usual arrangement for a manual marking bay, and the reason most of these lasers are quoted together with a station.
