Solutions for the Automotive and Motorcycle Parts Industry

2019-03-25

The automotive manufacturing industry is a rigorous platform showcasing various industrial technologies, requiring not only high technical standards but also demanding overall process quality. In addition, marking each part is an indispensable step in the production process.

Traditional inkjet marking tends to wear off over time and due to environmental factors, so laser marking has become the new mainstream. Besides excellent wear resistance, it offers refined appearance, is difficult to alter, and is highly eco-friendly. Laser marking generally uses laser light to create color depth variations on raw materials (stainless steel and titanium alloys can produce color engraving), or directly removes coating on plated parts to engrave logos, serial numbers, dates, production history, barcodes, QR codes, and more.

Production Methods:
1.Conveyor belt line: The laser marking machine is directly installed on the conveyor belt, allowing items to be marked with text, graphics, and barcodes without stopping.
Suitable for: Continuous production factories with conveyor lines.
Example: Motorcycle handlebars, headlights,

2.Multi-station: Items are manually or robotically loaded onto turntables or chain plates to reduce individual marking time and increase production efficiency.
Suitable for: Parts that require precise marking positions.
Example: Reduction gears, buttons

3.Tray type: Batches of parts placed in trays are sent to the laser marking platform. After marking a full tray of parts, the tray is sent out and operators reload materials.
Suitable for:
Example: Painted plastic electronic parts, automotive screws with codes

4.Robotic arm or large-format: Uses robotic arms mounted with laser marking modules to perform marking from multiple directions with high freedom.
Suitable for: Large objects, large plates, long tubes
Example: Wheel rims, car doors, bumpers

Value-added modules can be matched according to needs, including:

Vision alignment: Automatically detects offset and angular deviation regardless of how parts are placed, assisting marking at the correct position and angle.
Production history: Automatic serial number increment on production lines, customizable info fields for input or auto-loading, and automatic serial number generation based on coding rules.
Barcode recognition: All engraved 1D and 2D codes can be instantly verified online for correctness and readability.
Cloud integration: Production equipment utilization, capacity, and status can be monitored in the office or via mobile, with production data effectively stored on cloud systems.
Remote maintenance: For 24/7 continuous production equipment, provides remote networking allowing experts to diagnose equipment issues in real time, propose solutions, and reduce on-site travel time.
