Precision Laser Marking: The Application of Optical Sensors in Distance Measurement

Customer Background

This is a company specializing in manufacturing laser marking machines. Their products find extensive applications in various fields, including industrial marking, medical devices, aerospace, and jewelry manufacturing. They have been striving to enhance the precision and performance of their laser marking machines.

Challenge:

The customer needed to perform precise laser marking on different materials. This required accurate distance measurements to ensure that the laser focus was at the desired location. They were searching for a technology that could provide reliable measurements at various working distances.

The Application of Optical Sensors in Distance Measurement

Solution:

The customer introduced advanced optical sensor technology to address this challenge. They chose the GFL-Z series high-precision optical sensors, known for their outstanding measurement accuracy and stability. These sensors were integrated into their laser marking machines to measure the distance between the laser head and the working surface.

Operation:

These optical sensors use laser beams to measure distance by determining the time it takes for the laser to be emitted from the sensor, reach the working surface, and return. The sensors can perform multiple measurements within milliseconds, providing highly precise distance information.

Results:

With the introduction of optical sensors, the performance of the customer's laser marking machines significantly improved. They can now achieve precise laser marking on different materials without the need for manual focus adjustments. This has increased production efficiency, reduced the rate of defective products, and improved product quality.

Conclusion:

DADISICK's optical sensors demonstrate outstanding performance in laser marking applications. Through precise distance measurements, manufacturers can ensure the laser focus is accurately positioned where needed, enhancing precision and efficiency.

Optical sensor technology brings higher performance and quality standards to the laser marking industry.
