FANUC America Authorized System Integrator Triton Automation Group is proud to introduce their new robotic Fixtureless Laser Marking System – A ground-breaking technology that allows for marking hundreds of unique part types with no unique fixturing required. Automating this process with robotics from FANUC eliminates the ergonomic and labor issues of having multiple operators use pin stamping machines.

The system is compact in size and eliminates fixtures, saving on overall project costs and floor space, while it’s unique design allows you to scale the system to fit your marking needs. Designed with the operator in mind, the system is very user friendly – from its interface to part changeover, the system makes it easy to apply laser marks on-the-fly to a wide variety of parts. Part changeover time required is less than 30 seconds – An operator simply scans a work flowsheet with details of the parts to be marked. Then, real-time visual feedback is provided to the operator to ensure correct part position and alignment as parts are loaded into the system. This allows for continuous feeding of parts. “Lights-out” marking can be achieved through automated loading and unloading of parts.

From there, the highly reliable and compact FANUC LR Mate 200iD Robot uses FANUC iRVision to determine the exact part position and positions the laser head to mark in the desired location. Parts are marked in as little as 1.5 seconds with marking intervals of 3 seconds, and can be marked in a variety of angles. The Amada Miyachi laser marks the moving part on the fly, applying a 2D DataMatrix code. The code is then validated by a third party vision system. Parts that pass inspection are unloaded by the operator, while failed parts are directed to a reject bin.
