Company 11 Laser marking There are hardly any materials that cannot be marked by laser. Laser marking is waterproof, will not wipe off, and is very durable. You can quickly create in an automated process customised to individual requirements. The material determines the particular laser technology and the use of energy.

Laser engraving Unlike other processes, laser engraving involves no contact whatsoever. The laser light is used to melt and evaporate the material. There is no need to fasten the workpiece in place during processing. The laser allows microengravings up in the micrometer range.

Laser cutting Laser cutting is a thermal separating method in which complex geometries are generated with the help of a focused laser beam. Various metals, plastics, organic materials, and other materials can be processed.

Laser welding ACSYS laser processing systems are designed for very fine and precise welding processes. De- pending on the material, different methods are used. The welding systems work without any material allo- wance. A flexible output and pulse design makes it possible to generate particular pulse shapes and pulse trains for special effects.

Laser digitizing Laser digitizing is based on the conoscopic holography method, allowing extremely precise 3D digital images of most surfaces. The resulting 3D file can be used for production and reproduction and can be easily processed in the CAD software.

Company 13 We highly appreciate active customer rapport.

By the time our systems leave the production facility, they have alrea- dy been subjected to a series of comprehensive tests. This guarantees you not only a high-quality product but also quick setup times at your facility. After delivery, the laser system is installed and calibrated by our experienced specialists. They then review and optimize each parameter for your production purposes.

As part of the start-up and Starter Training service, our ACSYS experts will provide you with valuable advice for effectively using and maintaining your new ACSYS system. This increases the efficiency of your machine, minimizes downtime and protects your long-term investment.

In the context of a deepening course, you reflect on your experience and expand your knowledge.

The modular structure of the training provides you with in-depth Laser-Remote-Cutting of Carbon. knowledge from different areas of laser processing for your particular industry. In addition, we offer an analysis of your production processes and training requirements, which enables us to tailor the training to suit your company.

Quality Management

The ACSYS quality management is continuously subject to the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standard as defined by TÜV Deutschland, and guarantees consistent quality of our manufacturing processes as well as of the technical components of our suppliers.

Laser systems are subjected to many tests in order to check them „inside out“, and out project engineers use state-of-the-art testing equipment to achieve perfect calibration.

The pre-inspection by our customers is usually performed at ACSYS Mittweida. This is where functionalities and features of the system are presented to the customer and explained in detail. Possible mo- difications or extensions can be discussed and implemented directly at the manufacturing site. Only after you have taken acceptance of the system will it be packed and shipped.

OPR – Optical Part Recognition Full automatic detection and machining of palletized and unpalletized workpieces. DFC – Dynamic Focus Control The Dynamic Focus Control allows the modification of the focal point during the laser machining process. The basis is the projection of the "real" 3D model onto the workpiece. ODC – Online Depth Control μ-exact material removal for depth and 3D engraving ensures highly precise results. Free-form surfaces can also be sampled and digitized with the ODC module, making them easy to process. OCR/OCV - Optical Character Recog- Character recognition and automatic verification of laser-engraved texts on a wide range of components. nition Automatic DMC verification Process-integrated reading back of DataMatrix code with verification of contents and, if necessary, evaluation of the reading results (dependent on the reader that is used). Remote control The online connection "ACSYS® - Direct Access Line" for service, support or training allows us to assist you directly on your system with complex tasks, to support you with training for new software-based technology, or to provide you with remote maintenance service as quickly as possible in case of improper functionality. Custom programming Customized layout and process programming as well as database connectivity. Intuitive user interface Different user interface standards are available. Ranging from the "easy mode" setting to the customer-programmab- le user interface, the AC-LASER® offers an intuitive layout for fast and creative working. Material Parameter Assistant Easy searching for suitable laser parameters for a wide range of materials. Automatic creation of a parameter scale from an extensive parameter database. Automatic splitting - „Split layout“ Intelligent segmentation. Large-area engravings are "intelligently" segmented and seamlessly executed on flat or round parts. Dual-laser control The software is capable of managing and controlling two laser sources simultaneously.
