OVERVIEW
We are honoured by your choice of a Datalogic product, specifically a new product belonging to the
Vlase
TM
product family, which aims to satisfy new market evolutions, and especially the integration of industrial laser
sources.
OPERATION OF A LASER SYSTEM WITH GALVANOMETRIC SCANNING
The laser generates a train of high-energy pulses of invisible radiation.
In order to obtain a more accurate focus, the laser beam is first enlarged using an optical expansion system
and then deflected by a scanning system consisting of two mirrors mounted on galvanometric motors.
These mirrors deflect the beam in a controlled beam along the X and Y axes; processing of the product
surface occurs by coordinating the movement of the two motors with the turning on/off of the laser beam.
The deflected laser beam is focused by an F-Theta objective before it hits the surface of the product.
Generally speaking, the marking is carried out within the focus of the beam.
MARKING SOFTWARE
The marking software Lighter is preinstalled on the system.
NOTE:
Consult Lighter software user’s manual for a proper use of the same.
NOTE:
Consult the proper Appendix to upgrade the preinstalled software if necessary.
The
Vlase
TM
laser marking system features a control unit
whose size is compatible with the standard 19”
2,5U in varnished steel, and a resonator whose compact dimensions make it easy to integrate into a system
that comprises safety devices required by applicable regulations, the management of marking signals and
the customer’s complementary modules, if any.
All laser marking system connections are found on the rear of the rack: power supply, safety, electrical
signals, communication ports, patch cord to the scanner head, while the front features key and enable
command devices, status LED in addition to a USB connector for the communication with the internal
embedded controller.
Vlase
TM
belongs
to the family of DPSS (Diode Pump Solid State) laser sources in the “end pumped” and “Q-
Switched” configuration.
The mechanical and electrical characteristics satisfy standardization and connectivity needs of the industrial
field, such as the new 19” rack and different solutions for laser system control.
The new marking system control platform allows for an easy integration in industrial environments and
complies with the standard of the other Datalogic marking systems, with the same philosophy implemented
in Arex
TM
.
Based on the optical layout of the Datalogic Violino
TM
laser source, the
Vlase
TM
family guarantees significant
improvements in terms of performance thanks to the new laser diode current and temperature controllers,
developed by the Datalogic laboratories, which shorten warm-up time and improve the stability of emitted
laser power. The operating temperature range has been extended to 5°- 40°C for its use in industrial
environments.
WARNING!
Marking system installation in a secure environment is the responsibility of the system
integrator!
