Ideal for marking small batches or individual workpieces, the TruMark 3010 diode-pumped solid-state laser from TRUMPF (Farmington, CT) is user friendly, compact, and low maintenance. A convection cooled laser head makes the product a silent companion without creating unwanted air-flow close to the workpiece. According to the company, the new NAVIGATOR software enables even users without special laser expertise to do high-quality laser marking on metals and plastics. Scanner, laser head, and power supply are connected via a hybrid cable so that the marking laser can be easily integrated into existing production systems.
