Marking device to mark an object with a marking light with different light modules using different marking technologies

摘要

A marking device for marking an object (1) with marking light, comprising - a plurality of marking modules (10) for emitting marking light, and - a base unit (20) to which the plurality is connected of marking modules (10), wherein the base unit (20) comprises a control unit (25) for controlling the plurality of marking modules (10), characterized in that the plurality of marking modules (10 ) comprises at least a first marking module (10a) and a second marking module (10c) that use different marking technologies to mark an object (1) comprising different materials, the different marking technologies belonging to the marking modules belonging (10) to a group comprising: solid state lasers, laser diodes, VCSEL (vertical cavity and surface emission lasers) and gas lasers, such as CO2 lasers, HeNe lasers, CO lasers, argon lasers, nitrogen and laser lasers excimer, or diodes such as LED (light emitting diodes) or OLED (organic light emitting diodes), and each marking module (10a, 10b, 10c) is provided with a scanning device for positioning the respective beam of light on the object (1) and / or the marking modules (10a, 10b, 10c) can be moved independently of one another by a motor device (60).
