The 3020 laser marking system can be installed and integrated either as a stand-alone solution using the mobile stand or directly into the line with mounting brackets. The compact design allows for installations even when space is at a premium. At 7 kg (15.4 lbs), the system is one of the lightest in its class. Additional key features follow:

  • Job creation, parameter settings, line setups and system configuration can be managed with the touch-control unit.
  • All tasks are accessed directly through intuitive icons and a job preview is always visible to the operator.
  • Various password-protected security levels are available.
  • Troubleshooting is a simple matter of pressing a button while an integrated help menu is available for key functions.
  • A keypad built directly into the marking system allows for quick access to start and stop buttons.

The standard configuration consists of the laser, scanner, lens, controller, I/O panel, built-in keypad, mechanical focus finder, product detector and the touch-control unit. A mobile floor stand, beam shields, exhaust units, encoder, mounting brackets and additional fonts are optional.
