Portable handheld laser marking system THE MarkStar Pro is a handheld fibre laser marking sys- tem designed for portability in the field or warehouse, operating off a low-voltage power source. It can be used for any application where bringing the parts to the marking/engraving station is not possible or uneconomical. The system has been used on conveyer lines for marking IDs on large assemblies, and service marks on aircraft, marine vehicles and components, missiles and bombshells, pressure vessels and nuclear plants. It is effective in oil and gas applications to ‘stamp’ un-erasable marks of weld quality, high-pressure test results, service dates and records. The standard configuration of the laser marking machine allows for many different options. The versatile unit can be moved easily for convenient operation from any location and is capable of marking materials ranging in size from minuscule to considerably large equipment that would not fit into traditional marking systems. Additional features include ease of installation, allowing for quick start-up, and graphic-based programming.
