MC-Flexc V2.4

Laser 2000 has developed the MC-Flexc laser engraving system combining precise mask projection with a high-speed galvanometer laser beam scanning system. This permits the engraving of an unlimited mix of characters, patterns or codes without changing the lens aperture. This is achieved by replacing the usual lens with a specially designed image objective.

The method is very fast – allowing the use of full pulse speed of an Excimer laser – and far more economical since a greater part of the laser energy can be applied. Conventional methods are less flexible because there each character change also requires an aperture change. The systems also need more powerful and thus more expensive laser systems.

With the MC-Flexc High-End Laser Engraving Systems of Laser 2000, the characters to be engraved are simply generated as a chain of x-y coordinates in a text file such that every user can easily create and apply his own character set.

By appropriate selection of laser parameters text heights can be miniaturized to approx. 20 µm. The contrast and appearance of the engraving remains freely selectable. Meanwhile, the patented MC-Flexc system became international standard in the ophthalmic industry. It can be used in all situations where conventional laser products fail to operate due to micro cracks or unclean marking results.
