OVERVIEW
In as low as 6 seconds, the plate edge is referenced and labeled with a mark that is suitable for manual or automatic identification of
stacked plates. |
OPERATION
The plant positions the plate at the marking station (stopped and stationary) with the edge justified within 0-1" (2-25.4 mm.)
Typical plate thickness range is .187" (4.7 mm) to 9.8" (250
mm) with plate temperatures of ambient to 500°F (260°C.) (Contact
InfoSight Corporation for other requirements.)
The InfoSight LabeLase® machine pneumatically extends and lifts to reference on the plate edge and under side surfaces. A basecoat
of blank ink is applied followed by a top coat of white ink. A 50W
CO2 laser removes the white ink overlay to reveal a desired black
man-readable message, barcode and/or logo. The total message width
is 4" (100 mm) or less. After marking, the machine retracts
to a clear position.
