MASS Group distributes a full line of industrial automation hardware including laser etchers and 2D data part scanners.

The laser can be used to mark glass panels such as solar panels where intense heat and environmental extremes prohibit use of other methods.

MASS Group is a total solution provider for hardware and software to decode both Bar Codes and Data Matrix as well as provide the enterprise software to track and manage the information. We specialize in both handheld and fixed mounted scanners and vision systems that allow you to read the 2d barcode.

Applications

CO2 lasers and Synrad's FH Series Marking head can be used to quickly and permanently mark alphanumeric, logos, and bar codes into a variety of materials at high speed. The most popular applications for Data Matrix are the marking of small items such as integrated circuits and printed circuit boards. However, the biggest advantage is that Data Matrix can be utilized for Direct Part Marking (DPM), eliminating labels and the problems/costs associated with them. 

Firestar Series

10W FH Marking Kit
The 10WFH is ideal for marking on anodized aluminum. It uses our patented, sealed, CO2 laser, our high-quality galvo-based marking head to produce highly accurate, repeatable, and permanent marks on a variety of materials. Synrad offers versions of this kit from 10W to 125W, marking capabilities on materials from paper to steel, with both stationary and on-the-fly marking available. Our controls software offers barcoding, serializing, character and graphics with easy integration into full production lines.

The  laser shown above creates a unique 2-d barcode or data matrix permanently marked onto the materials surface. A vision system or camera is used to read the barcode enabling you to track the parts marked with the laser anywhere in the manufacturing process.

Connector, computer chip, and PCB manufacturers are experiencing the benefits of laser marking but there are many applications for use of the the laser marking solution.

What Materials can the Synrad lasers be used on?

• plastics
• wood
• paper
• ceramic
• coated metals

Why mark parts with a laser and not a printed barcode label?
Among the outstanding features offered by laser marking are improved reliability and throughput over conventional solutions such as ink jet printing. A 2-d barcode is a permanent solution and holds up to the most demanding environments since it becomes etched into the surface of finished product.
