  1. Direct Part Marking by laser technology Jörg Plumanns

  2. Company Profile • Founded in 1999, based in Liège • Manufacturer of laser sources • and solutions for the industry in : • Marking & traceability • Laser plastic welding • Surface treatment • Staff : 14 people • 1 Spinoff : Trackinside SA • ISO 9001: 2008

  3. Our Mission • Turning ideas into machine: • From first tests to a complete dedicated line : Systems Global Solutions Expertise Confidential - Lasea Belgium 3

  4. Laser Marking & Traceability Laser Marking Technology Global solution for traceability :

  5. Laser marking • Quick • Contact Free • Permanent • No preparation before marking • Compatible with a wide range of materials (plastic, steel, woods, glass, paper..) • No ink or other contaminants • Reliable & highly productive • Nevertheless : • All materials cannot be marked with a unique type of laser. • Marking results depend on the material. • Laser safety standards must be respected. • Higher Investment compared to other marking technology but maintenance free.

  6. Laser marking >< other technologies

  7. Laser Marking & Traceability Direct Part Marking : Colour Change Materialremoving Engraving Foaming

  8. Datamatrix • 2-dimensional barcode – GS1 DataMatrix: Characteristics • Minimum footprint • High storage capacity • Coded with redundancy, 100% reliable • Needs only 20% of contrast to be readable • Image pattern readable within 360° • Ideal for Automatic ID & traceability

  9. Datamatrix • Information density for 40 alphanumericcharacters: • LinearBarcodeDataMatrix • Up to 100% more data on 1/10th of the size !!!

  10. Surgical Instruments Tracking • The Challenge : • Automatic readout of • small sized ( 2,5*2,5mm ) • Permanent Unique Device Identification ( UDI ) • On instruments made of ≠ materials ( steel, titan, . . .) • To monitor the surgical instrument park in a hospital • Reliably over thousands of autoclave cycles

  11. Surgical Instruments Tracking CETIM France, independent test : • Compared AIDC technologies • for marking of instruments • Alphanumeric Laser Marking • LinearBarcode • InfodotDatamatrix • Dot PeeningDatamatrix • LaserMarkingDatamatrix • RFID

  12. Surgical Instruments Tracking • The ID technologies : • RFID - can dislocate due to shock, but ok if incorporated • DataMatrixDot Peening - bad contrast/needs even surface • DataMatrixInfo Dot - dislocates after some autoclave cycles • DataMatrixLasermarking - gives durable good results

  13. Surgical Instruments Tracking • The benefits : • Make sure each instrument stays in itsdedicated box • Speed up the reconstitution of the surgical boxes • Link the instrument history to the patient to identifyrisk populations (Creutzfeld Jacob Disease ) • Eliminatehuman identification errors • Identifymissing instruments in a box • Identifyproblems in the wash cycles • Stock optimisation & costcontrolling • . . . .

  14. Direct Part MarkingExamples Marking of syringe combs for anti mix-up solution Material : PC Laser : Fiber Laser FL20

  15. Direct Part MarkingExamples • Marking of flip-offs for AIDC or visual inspection • Material : anodised aluminium • Laser : Fiber Laser FL20

  16. Direct Part MarkingExamples Marking of pharmaceutical packaging Production line for different box sizes Marking on lasersensitiveinkwith CO2 laser

  17. Track & Trace in automotivesector Marking of catalyticconverters Automatichandling, reading, updating & rewriting of data Material : ceramic, Laser : CO2
