Black laser annealing

LP-S500W SERIES

What is black laser annealing?
Black laser annealing is a printing technique that uses
laser irradiation to heat up metal surfaces and form oxide
lms that appear as letters printed in black*. In contrast to
traditional techniques involving metal surface etching, the
absence of depressions or burrs keeps surfaces level. This
makes black laser annealing the best printing technique for
target objects such as bearings that require high surface
precision.
Reliable black laser annealing used to require strict management
of the target’s work distance. With the LP-S500W series, you
now have ±15 mm ±0.591 in* more exibility in work distance
thanks to a newly developed optics design. There is no longer
a need to do process changeovers for lines producing products
of different sizes. And, because printing is done uniformly
regardless of height differences, the LP-S500W series helps
improve production reliability.
* In case of marking to SUJ2 (material) by LP-S500W
The LP-S500W series allows the operator to visualize the
marking range based on the relationship between the
positions of the guide laser and laser pointer. Now you
can check target object position and height based on the
laser pointer’s marker positions.
Deviation amounts can also be checked. With this feature,
equipment setup and maintenance gets a little easier.

For accurate marking on workpieces with different heights,
marking sizes, positions, etc. need modication in
consideration of each target’s height. With the LP-S500W
series, marking size and position are corrected
automatically by entering the distances to each target
object. Setting for marking target objects of different heights
just got much simpler.

Superior design
The LP-S500W series features minimum frame seams. Minor seams and screw holes are completely sealed, producing
high sealing performance. This performance is sustained by applying constant pressure to the sealed areas. Maximum
cooling efciency is also achieved allowing the use of a fanless head for thorough cooling.
High quality protection parts
Seamless sealing materials are used that have low water absorption and excellent oil resistance properties.
Connectors are dust, water, and oil-proof. The lens has a protective glass cover.
What is IP?
IP indicates the degree of protection from water, human body, or solid foreign objects.
This is based on IEC / JIS standards.
IP6X: Prevents chips from entering inside the product (complete prevention).
IPX7: Prevents water from entering inside the product when it is immersed under water under the specied
conditions.
G: Indicates the oil protection structure specied by JIS standards and able to prevent oil drops or oil foam from
entering from any direction.

OPERABILITY
Congurable using an ofce PC
The laser marker comes standard with PC software that allows for easy conguration of print data and layout,
via a familiar PC based environment. Data can also be created on a PC in ofine mode, which means that data
conguration is possible without stopping the laser marker. In addition, connecting a PC to the laser marker allows
you to check the operation status, I/O status or error log.
Monitor and mouse
Large screen for checking print content
Laser marker setup and operation is made simple by connecting a commercially available monitor and a mouse.
When the monitor is placed in an easy-to-view position, the printed content can be viewed from a distance and any
changes made to the printed content can easily be veried.
Easy operation via a touch panel console
A color touch panel is used so that even persons unfamiliar with
machine operation can easily handle it. An intuitive and easily
understandable software package allows the operator to smoothly
access any setting screens, and the ergonomically designed
console is easy to operate whether hand-held or directly attached
to a machine.

[ Fiber unit removability advantages ] ■ Illustration of equipment
integration
Panasonicʼs unique laser head design allows the ber unit to be easily removed from the scanner unit. This
revolutionary mechanism is a rst in the ber laser marker industry*1. Because the ber unit is removable, it can be
easily incorporated into equipment for easy installation and enhanced exibility of equipment design.

[Dust-, water- and oil-proof performance]
• The head of the FAYb Laser Marker (excluding controller) offers dust- and water-proof performance conforming to IEC/JIS
protection grade IP67. Oil-proof performance conforms to IPXXG, and offers protection against some lubricant and cutting
oils. Tests are conducted according to the specied environments, times, and methods. However, dust-, water- and oil-proof
performance is not guaranteed in all environments. Refer to IEC 60529 (JIS C 0920) for details of testing methods. Oil-proof
performance is evaluated using typical lubricants and cutting oils (see table below), but this performance may not be fully
achieved depending on the type of oil.
• The protection degree fully achieves performance only when the ber unit, connectors, focus adjustment unit cover and lens
protection glass are attached correctly.
• Although the product features a protection degree, it cannot be used submersed in water or oil.
