Can I specify a JPT source for the compact UV marker?

Yes. We quote the compact UV configuration with CRS or JPT as selected. If your purchasing specification requires JPT, we identify the exact source model and power in your quotation; the compact layout alone does not define pulse characteristics.

Is compact UV a good choice for mixed batches of small parts?

Yes. This compact workstation is intended for small parts and mixed batches. For frequent product changes, plan the holder change, refocusing and first-mark check. Compare that complete changeover routine with your job mix to decide whether this layout suits production.

Will a compact UV marking setup fit on my bench?

Plan for the workstation, source-matched cooling, extraction, cables and loading access. We confirm the complete layout for your selected configuration. Check that arrangement against your bench space, since the marking field is not the total installation footprint.

Can I keep the same settings for different colors of plastic?

Plastic pigments and formulations affect marking contrast and surface response. Send us the colors and grades you use. Keep separate recipes where the results require them, so each version achieves the required legibility and appearance.

How do I resume marking after moving compact UV?

Check focus and the fixture position at the new bench, then mark a first part with your current material and artwork. Compare it with your approved reference before resuming the batch, and prepare the cooling and extraction for that location.

Can compact UV mark a logo on coated electronic parts?

UV supports fine surface marks on compatible coatings and electronic parts. Tell us which layer should carry the logo and what must remain intact. Choose the process around legibility, appearance and the component’s required function, including any application-specific checks.

Compact UV Laser Marking Machine, 355 nm

Application and model selection

This page covers the compact format with a source selected by quotation. Compare it with the JPT-specific page when source brand is mandatory, or with the desktop workstation when fixture space and repeated loading are the priority. Moving the machine still requires focus and setup checks before marking.

Configuration and specifications

Parameter	Product configuration
Machine format	Compact movable UV workstation
Laser power options	5 / 10 / 15 / 20 W
Nominal wavelength	355 nm
Laser source	CRS / JPT as quoted
Marking field	70 × 70 to 200 × 200 mm; larger field by confirmed lens
Controller / software	JCZ / EZCAD2; exact board and software confirmed
Cooling	Source-matched cooling; confirm air or water requirements

The values below identify this product and its listed options. The selected source, optics, controller, accessories and site utilities must be named in the quotation. Motion speed and positioning figures do not establish finished-part tolerance or production throughput.

Materials and process limits

A 355 nm UV laser is considered for fine marking on selected plastics, silicone, packaging surfaces, glass formulations, ceramics, coatings and electronic components. Material formulation and pigments determine contrast and fumes. Lower thermal influence does not mean zero heat or guaranteed damage-free processing. Deep metal engraving and glass cutting are separate applications, not standard capabilities of this marker.

Identify the exact material, coating and adhesive before testing. Do not laser-process PVC, vinyl, PTFE, other halogen-containing materials or unidentified composites. Use material-specific extraction and continuous supervision during cutting.

Production workflow

Import text, logos, serial data, QR or Data Matrix codes and compatible vector or bitmap files in the supplied software. Set the fixture, focus and field correction, then qualify a recipe on the part. EZCAD2 and LightBurn are not interchangeable on every controller; confirm the installed board, driver, source protocol and license before choosing software.

Options to specify

Match source power, pulse characteristics and a 355 nm F-theta lens to the smallest feature and marking field. A larger field can reduce energy density and detail. Use the cooling method specified for the exact source. Flat-part fixtures and rotary options must maintain focus; autofocus, 3D processing and production-line integration require a separate agreed configuration.

Plan suitable guarding, interlocks, emergency stops, extraction and operator training for the supplied laser system. The finished machine classification must be verified; an enclosure alone is not proof of Class 1 compliance. Follow the supplied operating and maintenance instructions.

Sample test and acceptance

Approve a representative sample and the written configuration before ordering. Record the material, source, settings, lens or nozzle, fixture, appearance, dimensions and complete cycle time. Keep those results as the production acceptance reference.

UV marking verification

Test the exact production material, color, coating and artwork. Check character legibility, code grade, contrast, surface damage and cycle time. Glass samples also need crack and strength assessment where relevant. Medical, food-contact and electronic products require the buyer’s application-specific validation.

Installation, service and documentation

Ask Vank Laser to include the machine layout, electrical requirements, supplied software, operating instructions, maintenance schedule and recommended spare parts in the technical proposal. Agree commissioning, operator training, support language, warranty coverage and service responsibilities before shipment. Request conformity documents for the actual machine and destination.

Request a sample test and quotation

Send the alloy or polymer grade, coating, part dimensions, marking area, artwork, smallest code, contrast or depth target, cycle time and fixture needs.

Send the destination country, installation voltage and required delivery scope with your inquiry. Ask for sample photos or video, measured results and a configuration-specific quotation.
