The Microlase laser marking system uses a fully sealed diode-pumped Nd:YAG/Nd:YV04 laser with 1,064-nm wavelength. The manufacturer reports this design offers 15,000 hr of virtually maintenance-free noncontact marking on metals, anodized aluminum, painted substrates, plastic, and more.

In addition, Schmidt offers redesigned pin systems, the hand-held Stinger, the Scribeliner, the Mark3, and an integrated shuttle-feed system. The Stinger is well-suited for large parts requiring a portable marker.

The Scribeliner works for nameplates and is customizable for in-line production. The Mark3 features a post located off center in the marking field, which offers flexibility when positioning odd-shaped parts or using clamping devices.

Also available is a pneumatic Series 12 roll marker. It is a compact floor-mounted unit with no electrical connections required.
