The silent service providers for our promise of precision are IMP (Intelligent Mark Positioning) and Point & Shoot. These two types of vision systems ensure ultimate precision and repetition accuracy. In addition to drastically reduced product scrap, the added value that these systems generate also includes greater economy and productivity.
for precise, efficient and permanent direct marking of parts and products, e.g. in medical, electronic, automotive and aircraft industries.
reliable traceability, compliance with regulations & identification requirements, product safety, quality assurance, counterfeit protection
Materials: nearly all kinds of plastics and metals, glass, ceramics etc.
Products: instruments, tools, tubes, implants, switches, valves etc.
Reliable readability and high resistance of the marking, e.g. against environmental influences, sterilization and cleaning procedures, leads to reliable identification.
The integrated vision system supports the closed-loop laser marking process HELP which includes code reading and mark verification (OCV) – for „zero-defect“ quality
Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software.

The patented IMP high-speed camera system automatically detects work pieces and their positions and aligns the etching accordingly, ensuring precision and repeatability of the marking process. IMP consistently provides premium-quality markings and minimizes the number of defective products. This makes the camera system ideal for automated serial production.
Point & Shoot™ is used to manually position marking contents on the product surface. The Point & Shoot™ camera system views (through the lens) on the marking field, captures an image of the component and displays it in the user interface. The user creates the marking and positions it (via ‘drag & drop’) at the exact position on the product where it is supposed to be applied.
The camera-guided laser marking process leads to a reduction in the number of defective products and higher degrees of economic efficiency and productivity, since all markings are applied at the desired location and in the specified manner.
The US-patented MOSAIC feature addresses the key challenges of accurately aligning marks on large parts regardless of the part position and orientation. MOSAIC uses the internal camera of the laser to create an image of the marking field by simulating a straight down camera view. The straight down view eliminates the side view distortion typically created when using an external camera, and enables the system to accurately mark parts regardless of their placement.

FOBA offers HELP, the most comprehensive process solution for direct part marking. HELP is a three step closed-loop marking process that includes pre mark inspection of the to-be-marked parts, the alignment of the marking and finally the verification of quality an content of the marks.
Systemic and operator-caused errors are thus avoided, and laser-marked content is checked while still in the marker directly after marking. This is not only relevant for companies with stringent quality requirements, but for anyone who values less scrap and faster production.
