Laser Marking Systems - CO2 Lasers

Schmidt offers CO2 laser marking systems that are extremely reliable with high quality permanent marking on the widest range of material including paper, cardboard, textiles, and other organic and painted/coated materials.

The CO2 laser system has a control unit rack and laser head configuration that offers extreme flexibility for integration of both stand alone marking stations as well as inline production.

Thanks to the embedded controller, marking configuration is extremely easy and only a keyboard and a display screen are required. Connection to the laser is available through USB connection.

CO2 laser systems can be used to mark 2d barcodes, 2d data matrix, logos, or any sequence of characters and numbers on your parts and products. Marking data can be input manually, bar code scanned, or downloaded from your mainframe computer or network system.

Laser Marking System Enclosures: Custom Examples

Schmidt's in-house engineering department can custom design any type or size of enclosure to best fit your marking application. Below are just a few examples of some of the laser enclosures we have manufactured for our customers.

	This compact economical enclosure features a small foot print with a manual interlock door for light tight safety, and is perfect marking smaller parts. Part fixturing or marking trays can be custom designed to allow several small parts to be marked during the same cycle.
	This economially designed laser enclosure features a manual operated hinged door with safety interlock and self contained rack mounted controls.
	This smaller sized laser enclosure is complete with a powered Z-axis for automatic height variance in part sizes, an automatic interlock door, and two removable side panels for convenient access to the laser head and lens.
	This laser enclosure features a manual z-axis, and a manual door equipped with anti-tie-down dual palm controls for operator safety. There is also a removable side panel for convenient access to the laser components.
	This laser enclosure features a 24 inch wide pnuematic door, and a power z-axis for automatic height variance in part sizes. There is also a removable side panel for convenient access to the laser head and lens.
	This enclosure is equipped with a power Z axis for automatic height variance in part sizes, a manual front facing door, and a rotary fixture for laser marking round parts. It also features two side panels for convenient access to the laser components.
	This enclosure features a shuttle table that slides outside of the enclosure to ease the placement of heavy parts onto the marking field table. There is also a large full access side interlocked door for convenient access to the laser head and lens.
	This laser enclosure features a two position rotary indexing table so one set of parts can be loaded outside of the enclosure while another set of parts are being marked. The indexing table is equipped with anti-tie-down dual palm controls for operator safety. There is also a large front access manual door giving the operator the option to hand place larger parts into the marking field without using the index table.
	This compact name plate shuttle feed system comes with a light tight enclosure over the laser marking area. Name plate tags are shuttled from the de-stack magazine into the laser marking cabinet. Once the marking cycle is complete, the tags are then shuttled out of the enclosure into the re-stack magazine.
