Fonon Technology International Develops World's First Portable Hand-Held Laser Marking System

Lake Mary, Florida – October, 2005 – Fonon Technology International introduces its latest innovative Portable Hand-Held Fiber Laser Marking System that produces permanent, legible marks on a variety of materials. This new laser system is a safe, reliable, no-maintenance, Direct Part Marking alternative for Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4 lasers. The system is more reliable than current Nd:YAG lasers, delivering 50,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. The extremely versatile unit can be easily moved for convenient operation to any location and is capable of marking materials ranging in size from miniature to considerably large equipment that wouldn’t fit into traditional marking systems. Easy installation and intuitive software allow for a quick start-up.

Components

Components include a Q-Switched Fiber Laser, Scan Head, PC Controller, Power Supply, Marking Software, and a Red Diode Pointer for easy setup. The software used by the Hand-Held Laser is the most advanced marking software available, providing a simple interface for fills, automation, graphic importers, parts handling, machine control, transformations, quality, and more. The laser requires only a low voltage power source (110/220), and has an excellent beam quality with a small spot size for precision marking. The Hand-Held Marking System can be optimized to meet any production need.

Applications

The portable system is ideal for military, large industrial equipment, and applications such as Alphanumerics, Logos, Graphics, Part Numbers, Schematics, Serialization, Matrix Codes, Barcodes, Paint Removal, ITO Removal, Backlit Buttons, and much more. The United States government and Home Land Security recently initiated programs incorporating laser technology as an essential part of present and future defense applications. In the private sector, government contractors are now using lasers to comply with strict governmental regulations. Fonon Technologies International envisioned this opportunity and successfully introduced and delivered applications compatible with military standards, while continuing to perfect our laser technology for future commercial and defense applications.

Materials

The Hand-Held Laser System can process a wide variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, carbide, polycarbonate, titanium, nickel, PVC, plastics, rubber, iron, chrome, painted metal alloys, multi-coated materials, and galvanized metals.

Availability

Our Handheld system is available today, providing reliable, portable Fiber Laser Technology starting at only $65,000.00. Now the automotive, defense, medical, aerospace and other industries have an affordable solution by providing permanent marking capability for product identification and traceability. Systems are also available on a rental basis for trial applications.
