Setting the focus: Lightweight spring-loaded coupling for state-of-the-art laser marking systems

Permanently readable markings on metallic or non-metallic products and workpieces are indispensable today as advertising or unique identification for smooth intralogistics and traceability in manufacturing processes.

For example, these products are marked with scannable codes, serial numbers, or logos using laser technology.

In laser marking, a precise, focused beam of laser light is projected onto the surface through a lens, creating extremely fine lettering or line contours with a very high degree of durability. This marking process is carried out with a high degree of dynamics, precision, and speed. Permanent reverse operation of the laser unit is standard.

Guaranteed success: Coordinated linear guidance ensures precise control Lightweight and with minimal inertia, combined with high torsional rigidity and precision—these are the characteristics of the Sliflex GRC-A spring-loaded coupling.

These features make it the ideal integral component of the carefully coordinated linear traverse units in such state-of-the-art laser marking systems. This means that nothing stands in the way of the dynamic marking process, even with difficult contours, which are marked “exactly on point.” It is made of lightweight aluminum, equipped with backlash-free clamping hubs, and is available for speeds of up to 35,000 rpm. In combination with its high torsional rigidity, it is the ideal partner for accurate marking at lightning speed.
