Semi-automated stand-alone marking system with drawer loading at minimum footprint. The INSIGNUM 1000 Laser is an inline or offline Marking System which utilizes a CO2 laser for direct marking onto various types of plastic PCBs. Alternatively the machine can be equipped with a fibre laser for marking of other materials e.g.metals. The object to be marked is placed in a drawer, fixed in position and then slid under a fixed position laser, where the PCB subsequently marked. After the marking process has completed, an acoustic alarm is issued, a message appears on the monitor and the drawer can be pulled out again. Alternatively, the machine can be equipped with a conveyor. The PCB is transported into the machine. A manually positioned laser unit then marks the PCB.
