Industrial automation is an engineering field that deals with designing, implementing, and maintaining control systems and devices that automate production processes. Its main goal is to increase efficiency, quality, and savings in the industry. In industrial automation, various technologies are used, such as industrial robots, vision systems, sensors, and programmable controllers (PLC). Thanks to these solutions, companies can automatically control and monitor production processes, achieving greater precision and repeatability.
Industrial automation helps reduce errors resulting from manual labor while improving worker safety. It also affects the reduction of production costs, which translates into better competitiveness of companies in the market. Modern technologies, such as Industry 4.0, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI), enrich industrial automation with new possibilities, creating more integrated, flexible, and intelligent production systems.
In recent years, industrial automation has gained increasing importance as companies seek innovative solutions to meet the growing market demands and challenges associated with global competition, environmental protection, and demographic changes.
Marking systems are crucial in industrial automation, enabling permanent marking and engraving on various surfaces. Marking serves identification, quality control, and tracking of production processes. Inkjet printing, laser marking, and micropercussion technologies are used for precise marking, for example, barcodes, serial numbers, or expiration dates.
Engraving, which is the removal of a material layer, creates a permanent marking on objects. In the production of machine parts, tools, or electronic components, engraving is particularly important due to its resistance to abrasion, chemicals, or high temperatures.
Advanced technologies, such as control software, sensors, and vision systems, ensure high precision, speed, and repeatability in marking and engraving systems. As a result, companies automatically and efficiently control quality and manage production, increasing competitiveness in the market.
We use various solutions within the marking station. We use stationary laser marking, where the product remains stationary during the marking process. Laser marking in-flight, on the other hand, occurs when the product moves during marking, allowing for fast and efficient processing.
We mark various materials, such as steel, aluminum, or plastics, adapting the technology to customer requirements and material properties. Impact marking is another application, involving the permanent marking of objects by stamping or punching texts, numbers, or patterns.
Advanced marking technologies, such as laser or impact, enable precise and permanent marking of products in industrial automation. They improve quality control and tracking of production processes, increasing companies' competitiveness in the market.
