LP-RFLaser Marking SystemsEasy Handling& High Quality1

LP-RF IntroductionIn 1999, Panasonic introduced the world‘s first Laser Markerequipped with a fiber laser oscillator.Since then, the company has advanced the product functionto respond to customers‘ needs and released four uniquepremium fiber Laser Markers.Panasonic recently re-examined the essentials key-functionsof a Laser Markers, and added an easy-to-handle model tothe lineup – the new LP-RF series.The new Panasonic Laser Marker model offers an easyto-handle system for easy applications.THE LP-RFA laser marker that is easy to use: AnywhereSafelyReliablyEfficientlyCHARACTERISTICS For plastic and metal applications20 W fiber laser for a diversityof easy applications For marking two-dimensional barcodes on iron,SUS, aluminum and other metal parts For marking extremely small characters onparts with a limited marking space suchas semicon ductor packages and connectorsMolded resin partBattery packBearingGearSheath cuttingCleaning processToolCamshaft2

LP-RF HighlightsHIGHLIGHTS FOR CONFIGURATIONSimple 3-step setting New software – NAVI Smart1.SMARTThe new „Laser Marker NAVI Smart“ softwareis provided with the product. Using the software,characters, logos and 1D/2D code can be arranged on a PC or tablet. The software interface canbe customized to suit each work environment.The screen can be switched according to the purpose of use, such as for parameter setting or foroperators. Arrange the charactersand figures to be marked.2.Set the laser radiationcondition with the smartsetting function. 3.Emit the laserbeam using thetest marking function. easy and perfectlaser marking in highqualityS mart setting functionThe one-touch function is packed withan extensive know-how of laser markingpara meters such as laser power, scanspeed and pulse cycle.The user can select a desired markingresult from 16 types of materials and images.Iron, stainless steel(shallow engraving)Iron, stainless steel(deep engraving)Aluminum(deep engraving) Adjustment aid Database with preprogrammedlaser parameter and settings Choose the preferred materialPP (black)4PC (white)ABS (white)and color – find the right settings

LP-RF SERIESHIGHLIGHTS FOR INSTALLATION Removable headThe head unit has to be moved throughthe clearance in the equipment.No more cumbersome installationwork. This contributes to the reductionof man-hours required for installationand maintenance.Productwithnon-removable headOnly the fiber unit needs tobe moved through the clearance inthe equipment.Product withremovable headI P64IP64The head was developed based on the fanlesshead used in the LP-M series, so it is resistant.There will be no problems caused by water dropsor dust entering the system.C ontroller with high noise resistanceVoltageWithout noiseprevention measuresWith noise preventionmeasuresElectrical noise produced by equipment using a large amountof electrical current or generated in the surrounding area canaffect the operation of the internal parts of the equipment andcause problems. The controller of the LP-RF series is equipped with anti-noise parts such as a power transformer andvaristor to ensure safe and reliable use of the Laser Markerduring the production process.Time(Typical values)FT noiseSurge noiseReduced by 90 %Reduced by 70 %5

LP-RF HighlightsHIGHLIGHTS FOR THE RUNNING PROCESS20 W High-performance galvano scannerThe built-in measurement and control system allows abalanced and optimal fine adjustment of the galvanoscanner and its optical mirrors inside the compact laserhead. The system provides beautiful and stable markingresults even when the laser marking is performed athigh speed. Direct linkage with image processing deviceAutomatic marking position correction and scan checkThe LP-RF series can be connected directly to a machine vision system. This enables theexecution of a series of operations, such as detection of the workpiece position, correctionof the marking position and cross-checking of scanned information of marked Data Matrixcode (DMC), etc., without using a PLC.1.2.3.ABC1. D etection ofworkpiece position2. Marking positioncorrectionABCThe camera scans and detectsthe position of the workpieceplaced in the equipment.6The angle is corrected basedon the scanned position in for mation before the LP-RFemits the laser beam.ABC3. Cross-check of scan nedcode informationABCThe system checks whetherthe marked Data Matrix codecan be scanned properly andcross-checks the scannedinformation with the markingdata.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE RUNNING PROCESSN ew interfaces for remote controlIn addition to the connector for I/O control and the RS232Cconnector, new EtherNet/IP and PROFINET network units areprovided to support the PLC connection via these industrialnetworks. The installation of the additional network units iseasy and can be performed at any time.P ROFINET unit and EtherNet/IP unit Support industrial networks Optional accessory Retrofittable Easy installationI ntegrated touchscreen Program file number Serial number Error code reportFaster troubleshootingBetter status information7

LP-RF HighlightsHIGHLIGHTS FOR THE RUNNING PROCESSO n-the-fly marking functionThe marking function for on-the-fly workpiecesenables laser marking on a workpiece moving at highspeed. This eliminates the need to keep the linestationary for laser marking.E rror history displayDisplays a history of errors as well as the time anddate of occurrence. Errors are listed not only as codes,but with an explanation so that an operator can verifythe type of error and when it occurred.I/O check monitorThe ON/OFF status of the input and outputterminals can be checked on the monitor.I/O signals can be quickly checked at system start-up.8

MAINTENANCE Easy maintenance – long-term reliable operationFor long and stable operation of your Laser Markers, Panasonic offers a fulllineup of maintenance parts. They expand the range of maintenance work thatcan be performed by the user. Daily maintenanceWhen the Laser Marker is used in an environment full of oil mist or dust, it isrecommended to wipe the lens protection glass on the laser head with a drycloth and clean or replace the fan filters in the controller.Replacement of fan filtersCleaning of lens protection glassE asy replacement of limited-life partsIn the past, limited-life parts had to be replaced by our service personnel. Butnow that the mechanical components of the LP-RF series have been redesigned, so that they can be replaced by the user.Replacement of fan filtersInternal batteryFansContactor kitLens protection glass9
