Automated laser marking helps improve speed, quality and flexibility at Jaguar Land Rover

In 2013, production engineers at Jaguar Land Rover were wrestling with all these problems and wondered if laser marking technology might provide a solution, they approached marking and verification specialist Pryor for support. After looking at the requirements of the task, it quickly became clear to the Pryor team that conventional laser marking technologies would not be up to the task. Jaguar Land Rover’s specification required marks with a depth of 0.3mm, to ensure the VIN was tamper-resistant and would remain readable throughout the life of the vehicle. After much research and experimentation, Pryor developed a high-powered laser system that could be adapted to give a consistent mark of the right depth (capable of marking 0.5mm deep) in very short cycle times.

Robotic Dot Peen Aerospace Marking

How robotic systems help to meet aero industry specifications for marking aerospace components.

Marking is critical in the aerospace industry and in many cases mandatory. Aero industry specifications – such as the UID standards laid down by the US Department of Defence, or SAE International’s AS9132 marking standard – insist that parts are permanently marked in order to give them a unique identity. Pryor’s multi-axis robotic marking systems are generally used on ro...

Data Capture Starts with a Simple Laser Mark

Collecting data begins with the application of a unique ID on every component

Part marking has been a necessity in many industries for decades but now delivers tangible benefits beyond, the very important, role of tracking and tracing components. The scope of part marking has broadened to a very simple method of collecting data, helping to bridge the gap between manufacturers and the foundation of the fourth industrial revolution.
