The FLM Handheld Fiber Laser Marking System is the industry’s first 12/24 volt handheld fiber laser system. This extremely versatile unit can be easily moved for convenient operation from any location and is ideal for Large Direct Part Marking, 2D Matrix Codes, UID and Barcode applications.
The standard configuration of the handheld marking system allows for many different options to meet any production need. Marking materials ranging in size from minuscule to considerably large equipment that would not fit into traditional marking systems are ideal for the FLM Handheld Fiber Laser Marking System. Additional features include ease of installation allowing for quick start-up and graphical-based programming for a minimal learning curve. Requirements beyond those listed above will be quoted upon request.
