The XL-BOX is a MULTI-FUNCTION LASER MARKING STATION that can be used by an operator or integrated in a robotised cell.
The ytterbium-enhanced SIC Marking fibre laser is a latest generation technology that enables HIGH QUALITY MARKING WITHOUT AFFECTING THE MATERIAL, irrespective of the material (steel, aluminium alloy, stainless steel, titanium, plastics, etc.) and with a shorter cycle time.
The marking may be alphanumeric codes, barcode or 2D Datamatrix codes.
The XL BOX provides HIGH CONTRAST ENGRAVING, READABLE WITH THE NAKED EYE, OR instantaneously by READING CAMERAS INTEGRAL with the station.
Small, medium and even large production runs can be marked, as the XL-BOX is designed for HIGH RATE marking.
Used as a standalone unit, the station is very ROBUST AND ERGONOMIC for the operator, providing access to a VERY LARGE WORK ZONE (570*564 mm) from the 3 sides.
The UNIQUE AND INTUITIVE PRODUCTION SOFTWARE is easy to use, even for personnel without much experience in laser technology.
When the XL-BOX laser station is integrated into a robotised cell, ONLY ONE CONNECTION TO THE LASER CONTROL RACK is needed for the island PLC to manage the entire station.
The station can thus communicate marking data, open and close the automatic door to load and unload parts, start the marking or start up the fumes evacuation.
The XL-BOX equipment provides MAXIMUM SAFETY during use.
In addition to a CLASS 1 safety enclosure (standard EN 60825-1), the laser XL-BOX has a PL-E SAFETY LEVEL, WHICH IS THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE ACCORDING TO STANDARD ISO 13849-1.
The system status is indicated by LED lights in the top strip on the enclosure.
The interior of the work zone is lit up by LEDs, providing optimum working conditions for the user.
The XL-BOX is available with castors and a table for a PC.
POSSIBLE OPTIONS TO ORDER
Different enclosure dimensions, specific tools, supplementary movements (Z axis, rotary axis, automatic axis), etc. may be added, to meet your own needs.
3D marking (ability to mark one or more parts of different heights) or the integral reading system are also available as options.

ROTARY D-AXIS
The rotary D axis option offers, as standard, the gripping of cylindrical parts weighing up to 35 kg and gripping over a maximum diameter of 125 mm.
The benefit:
It is directly controlled by the laser software and allows cylindrical parts to be marked longitudinally and around the circumference, irrespective of the diameter.
INTEGRATED READ FUNCTION
The integrated reading function allows the automatic reading of 2D and 3D codes.
When the cycle is started, the codes are immediately read in the same programme sequence, with no additional movement.
The reader outputs the result of the reading, with any necessary code quality grading.
This data is sent through a network or through inputs/outputs to the cell automatic system or to an external controller.
The proposed system allows the code to be read irrespective of its position in the marking window.
This function has a high resolution camera integral with the laser head.
This allows standard 2D codes (QR-Code, Datamatrix) to be read on all types of material and on difficult surface conditions.
It is compatible with HD lasers, Easy and the 3D function,
and is also compatible with the BOX stations.
The benefits:
SIC FACTORY AUTOMATION SOFTWARE
Our new laser station control software, SIC Factory Automation, gives immediate gains in productivity by simplifying and securing your markings.
The software presents a modern and efficient machine interface.
It has a system compatible with plant or workshop organisation, with several access levels.
The software is fully integrated into the traceability system, and the station can be interfaced with the company databases.
The benefit:
This enables the station to be properly integrated into the production system organisation, with all the expected productivity gains.
