Giotto UV is a laser marking system of the latest generation equipped with a diode pumped solid state laser source characterized by an output wavelength of 355 nm.
The UV laser sources, unlike the Nd:YAG sources in the infrared, enable working processes with quality and performances which up to now have been regarded as impossible, and remarkably reduce the thermic-mechanical strain on the processed material. The spot diameter and the wavelength are three times lower than those of the infrared and are the right solution to all those cases in which a more accurate detail is demanded or when the material cannot be processed by the conventional lasers (for example plastic materials).

LASER UV Application Field.
Silicon marking and micromachining Plastic marking Diamond drilling
Solar cell scribing and cutting Micromarking Selective photopolimerization
Ceramics micromachining Shapphire scribing Coated glass marking
Polymers micromachining Polycarbonate marking Surface texturing
Medical devices micromachining Electrical wire marking Poliammide marking and cutting
Giotto UV is composed of a rail which contains the source, a galvo scan head and a closed loop chiller.
It disposes of the dynamic control of the fire point and of the spot dimension and it ensures a remarkable application flexibility and it enhances the performances.
Giotto UV disposes of a wide range of ancillary equipments such as XY tables, rotary table, rotary attachment 360°, Z axis, automatic loader for labels, label unwinding system, camera, Class 1 solutions etc.
Thanks to its high reliability, its extremely compact size and its remarkable versatility obtained by I/O digital and the serial RS232, line Ethernet LAN, encoder reading it is easily interfaced to PLC, Personal Computer, Robot, different automations and it is specially recommended for integrations in production lines both in static as well as “ marking on the fly modes”.
Software ICARO driven by a common Personal Computer windows enables the user to change the work parameters such as power, marking speed, fire distance so that the required effect is obtained. Graphics in different CAD formats l(*.plt, *.dxf, *.pcx, *.bmp, *.Jpeg, *.mcl, besides machine formats) can be imported and the text can directly be changed. Graphic editing operations are also possible.
