Digital Automation of Laser Marking Solution

In manufacturing Industry 4.0, it will be always a time critical operation to save the OPEX cost. One of the important parameters is to perform laser marking on the different parts of the machine/object during manufacturing process and it should be automated to save the cost and time of the laser marking.

The project includes a system to have connection of Digital I/Os (8 or 16) in between existing PLC/HMI and digital automation laser marking software. It should also support the selection of multiple laser marking programs based on the automated input from the PLC/HMI. Synchronization between PLC and automation software plays a critical part to make smooth and effective laser marking using automation.

Thus, we have designed products with;

• Customization and white labeling
• Complete Desktop based and Touch based HMI software including control system (using PLC or Controller boards)
• High performance and real-time communication with the machine
• Multiple Program selection
• Support of multiple and configurable IOs

Solution:

• Supports 8 or 16 Digital I/Os to utilize during the automation process
• Multiple program selection based on configured digital input signals
• Configurable input and outputs
• Port test utility to check wire connection between PLC and card to help for the configuration of I/Os
• Synchronization of Start Marking, Laser Ready, and Marking Done signals between PLC and software
• Custom program selection to perform marking
