Constant optimization of the material and technology know-how make these today the most powerful marking lasers. This allows FOBA''s systems to label virtually any type of material in high quality with durable characters.
FOBA offers marking workstations as well as components for integration into production lines, which are optionally equipped with a marking head-integrated camera system for automated parts recognition and mark alignment. Special features of FOBA''s camera-controlled marking units are the holistic marking principle HELP and IMP for the intelligent mark positioning as well as an innovative feature for laser marking without product fixtures.
FOBA''s marking lasers, laser marking machines and vision-based marking workflows are used mainly in the automotive supply industry, medical technology, electronics and the plastics industry as well as in tool, metal and mold making to identify a large number of materials and products.
