Liqian Intelligent SMT Laser Marking Machine: Enabling High-Precision "One Item, One Code" Traceability for PCB/FPC
In modern electronics manufacturing, achieving high quality and full traceability requires "one item, one code" precision marking on PCBs and FPCs. The LiQ Series SMT Laser Marking Machine from Suzhou Liqian Intelligent Technology is specifically engineered to meet this critical need.
Core Advantages: Why Choose the Liqian SMT Laser Marker?
High-Precision Cold Processing
Utilizing a 355nm ultraviolet laser "cold light source," it produces minimal heat-affected zones. This makes it ideal for heat-sensitive materials like PCBs, FPCs, plastics, ceramics, and metals, making it the perfect choice for demanding sectors like automotive and medical devices.
Permanent and Clear Marking
By using a laser to alter the material's surface physically or chemically, the marks are friction-resistant, heat-resistant, and permanent. They easily withstand high/low-temperature cycling, vibration, and aging tests.
High Flexibility and Low Operating Cost
As a non-contact process, it requires no consumables like ink or solvents, resulting in simple maintenance. Combined with computer control, graphics and text can be changed instantly, offering fast development cycles and high flexibility.
Technical Highlights
Vision Positioning & Online Decoding
Equipped with a dual-CCD vision system, it automatically corrects board placement deviations to ensure precise marking. It also supports online decoding and grading for real-time quality inspection.
High-Speed Galvanometer & Fine Detail
Featuring a high-speed digital galvanometer, it marks a single board in seconds without slowing down the production line. It achieves ultra-fine details with a minimum line width of 0.1mm and a repeatability of ±0.001mm, meeting the demands of high-density QR codes.
Online/Offline Deployment
The system can be seamlessly integrated into an SMT production line for inline operation or function as a standalone offline unit, offering flexible deployment options.
Deep MES System Integration
It can automatically upload marking data (e.g., serial numbers, QR code content) to MES/ERP systems, enabling full-process traceability from raw materials to finished products, satisfying audit requirements for standards like IATF16949 and ISO.
