I already have an LC400 laser cabin. Can I also use this for marking laser foils?

- 'Yes, your LC400 laser cabin can be retrofitted for laser foil marking, as the LC400 foil laser is based on the same cabin. Our laser team will be happy to inform you about the necessary technical modifications. You have the option of carrying out the conversion yourself or enlisting the help of our service team.

What advantages does foil laser marking offer over traditional methods?

- Foil laser marking with the REA LC400 is durable, UV-resistant and acid-resistant, unlike consumables and thermal transfer printers. It can also be applied precisely to a wide variety of surfaces, offers finer text or higher detail resolution and is more cost-effective as no consumables such as thermal transfer ribbons are required.

What are the differences between metal nameplates and foil labels when it comes to marking?

- Film labels offer several advantages over metal nameplates. They are more flexible and lighter, which is particularly important for applications in the automotive and aviation industries. Film labels are easier to adapt to uneven or problematic surfaces and are more cost-effective than metal nameplates. They are also durable, UV and acid resistant and can be produced without consumables. The laser foil is suitable for varying labeling specifications and is ideal for small batches without high up-front costs.

How does the marking process with the REA LC400 foil marking laser work step by step?

- Episode these 7 steps for an optimal result: Preparing the laser film: select the right type of film for your application and load it as a roll into the laser cabin.Positioning: Guide the foil manually to its exact position in the marking area of the cabin. The vacuum system keeps the foil in place, ensuring precise marking. Closing the laser cabin: Close the laser cabin completely to comply with safety guidelines and protect the user. Entering the data: Enter the desired marking data, such as text, logos or 2D Codes, via the software. You can use existing templates or create new designs. Start the marking process: Start the marking process at the touch of a button. The fiber laser applies the desired data to the foil.Laser cutting of optional contours: If necessary, complex contours or individual shapes of laser labels can be cut out using the built-in laser. Removal and post-processing: Once the foil has been marked, the finished foil label is cut with the cutter knife. Stick it onto the appropriate surface and you're done.

High marking speed, long-lasting fiber laser, simple integration and intuitive operation - perfect solution for automated labeling processes.

Compact laser cabin solution for the laser marking of laser foil labels

LC400 laser foil marking laser

Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly important to mark products and components. Laser foil labels are becoming more and more popular and are increasingly replacing traditional metal nameplates. A foil marking laser can be used to produce labels that are not only flexible and durable, but can also be easily applied to a wide variety of surfaces. Even rough, uneven or oily surfaces can be marked effortlessly thanks to the suitable label foils.

The REA LASER LC400 foil laser cabin provides an entry-level solution for laser foil marking. The foil laser is versatile and is particularly suitable if you regularly have to meet different marking requirements - for example, those that vary depending on the country. Industries such as the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, the defense industry and electronics production benefit from this practical and adaptable solution. The laser system also gives you the flexibility to create and customize labels on site and is ideal if you have to meet frequently changing labeling requirements. Language, country requirements or serial numbers can be changed fast and intuitively.

Using a laser beam deflected by a scanner, it is possible to create permanent, high-contrast markings that are UV-resistant and resistant to environmental influences and chemicals. Compared to conventional marking methods such as thermal transfer printers, which require consumables such as ribbons and can fade over time, film lasers offer a reliable and economical alternative. No consumables, no mechanical stress and maximum precision stand out with this technology.

The precise image is particularly durable and scores with high contrast for maximum readability. Individual labels, strip labels and special contours can all be marked.

These different laser foils can be marked:
Robust laser foil: Specially designed as a type plate replacement, it is extremely resilient and durable. Available in elegant colors such as black or silver, which ensure high-contrast markings in black or white.
Sealing film: This laser film secures your products against unauthorized opening, for example of housing covers.

Both types of film are available as continuous rolls as well as pre-cut and pre-printed.

Applications for the REA LASER LC400 foil laser marking system

The right laser marking solution for every customer application

The REA LASER LC400 combines these advantages in a space-saving and user-friendly laser solution that gives you flexibility in your marking processes. The foil laser cabin of the LC400 is designed for use in a wide range of industries and enables process optimization with targeted functions:

Automotive industry: laser marking of car body components and door frame marking, especially with a wide range of country-specific requirements.
Mechanical and plant engineering: Thanks to its ability to process small batch sizes and varying nameplate layouts, the foil laser supports flexible production processes.
Defense industry and aviation: Durable and reliable markings that withstand extreme conditions.
Electronics: Finely detailed markings for housings and components with changing, linguistically diversified mandatory information.
Fluid technology: Marking of valves with different contours.

Advantages

Laser foil marking system

The heart of the LC400 Foil is the powerful 20W fiber laser. It creates precise and fine markings. Small fonts, detailed logos and complex 2D Codes are particularly suitable for this laser variant. The laser markings remain permanently high-contrast and resistant to environmental influences. The user-friendly and compact laser cabin offers:

Fast film change: The cabin is loaded with a laser film on a roll. This is positioned in the marking window by hand and laser marking is started by the user.

Vacuum-assisted fixation: Precise positioning of the laser foil, even for demanding and uneven surfaces. No slipping.

Simple cutting function: The finished marked film strip is cut off manually with the built-in cutter knife.

Beginner-friendly: The laser cabin is intuitive to operate and ensures maximum safety for the user and the product.

Independent certification: Laser safety is assessed by the Göbel company to ensure the highest standards and machine guidelines.

No consumables required: Unlike thermal transfer printers, there is no need for ribbons or ink. Nothing dries up.

Maximum flexibility: Ideal for individual contours and patterns. Create complex labels and individual component shapes or cut your own patterns from the foil with the laser using a DXF file.

Cost benefit: Very cost-effective compared to fully automatic alternatives. The same applies to foil labels, which are significantly cheaper than metal nameplates.
