Marking Solutions for Medical
SMARTmark UV Marking Machine
Achieve high contrast results on various materials such as certain plastics, glass, ceramics, and other organic or heat-sensitive substances with the SMARTmark 5W UV Laser Marking Machine. Its "cold marking" technology significantly reduces heat stress, preventing costly damage to products due to its 355nm UV laser wavelength. A wide range of industries can benefit from this versatile UV laser technology. It provides the smooth and precise markings required by medical device manufacturers. In sectors like electronics and automotive, UV lasers enable companies to mark small, delicate components—including circuit boards and silicon wafers—while minimizing waste.

Success Story
MECCO has successfully partnered with a tier-one medical supplier to improve their production efficiency. Through analysis of the production lines, we engineered a solution that included a SMARTmark Fiber Laser System in a Class 1 enclosure with a custom graphical user interface (GUI). Ultimately, this system surpassed the original verification goals and offered a higher ROI by cutting their cycle time in half. By implementing 100% part and mark inspection (error-proofing with XY Theta orientation detection and barcode grading), they eliminated manual processes and reduced the scrap rate from over 10% to less than 0.05%.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduced scrap and manual labor costs.• Reliable Uptime: Supported by MECCO’s dedicated service team.
• Error Proof: Data received and sent directly from the database to ensure accuracy and part inspection and barcode grading all in one machine.
