Laser fiber markers are widely used across various industries for marking and engraving on a diverse range of materials. One key component that enhances the efficiency and functionality of a laser marker is the rotary device. In this article, we will explore what a rotary device is, its applications and features, and the benefits it provides for laser marking.
What is a rotary device?
A rotary device is a mechanism that enables precise fixation and controlled rotation of an object along its axis during the marking process. It ensures accurate automatic positioning and allows for marking on different sides of an object, including internal surfaces—for example, the inside of rings. With a rotary device, cylindrical surfaces can be engraved seamlessly, ensuring perfect pattern alignment without visible seams.
The rotary tool connects to the laser marker via a driver. If the laser marker lacks an integrated driver, an external one may be required. However, all Wattsan laser markers come equipped with a built-in driver for the rotary axis by default. Rotary devices come in different diameters depending on the application, and the type of clamping chuck may also vary. The most commonly used type is the cam chuck.
Applications across various industries
A rotary device automates the process of marking and engraving on metal or plastic components such as couplings, cylinders, and shafts. It is widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronics, and mechanical engineering.
In the medical field, rotary devices are used for marking and identifying medical instruments, implants, and other metal, plastic, or ceramic products to ensure safety, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
In the jewelry industry, a rotary device allows for high-precision marking on precious metals like gold and silver, enabling the creation of unique and personalized jewelry while ensuring authenticity. Additionally, rotary devices are used in the production of customized giftware and promotional items.
Features and advantages of using a rotary device
A rotary device ensures precise positioning of the clamped object in relation to the laser beam, allowing for high accuracy and repeatability in marking.
The primary advantage of a rotary device is that it expands the capabilities of a laser marker, making it possible to mark cylindrical products, achieve uniform distribution of markings across entire surfaces, and create aesthetically appealing, high-quality engravings on various objects. By using a rotary device, businesses can enhance both the efficiency and versatility of their laser marking processes.
Conclusion
The use of a rotary device in laser marking significantly enhances the precision and versatility of engraving processes. Whether in industrial manufacturing, medical applications, or jewelry production, the rotary device allows for seamless marking on cylindrical and complex surfaces. By integrating a rotary device with a laser marker, businesses can improve product quality, increase efficiency, and expand their range of marking capabilities, making it an essential tool for a wide variety of applications.
