LMS 2500 Laser Marking System  (SPECIFICATIONS)

TeoSys designs, develops, manufactures and fields  LMS-2500 Diamond Marking System (2-15 um spot size  -  marks on gemstones).

 

The LMS is a laser based marking system.  The system holds diamonds below a focused beam of ultraviolet light.  The light has been focused so tightly that it burns a small microscopic pit onto the surface of the gem.  The depth of this pit is extremely shallow (~1 or 2 microns).  The color of the pit can vary from nearly transparent to totally black.  

The LMS creates characters by moving the diamond in X and Y axis while the laser is firing.  This is much like holding a pencil still, while moving the paper below it to form characters.  Marking on the girdle of a gem is the most popular use for the LMS.  

The diamond can be marked over the entire diameter of the gem through a series of rotations.  The laser is kept in focus, like a camera, by moving the fixed lens, or objective, up and down.  This motion is called Z-axis motion.  

The LMS is usually configured to mark in the area just past the smallest spot, or greatest laser intensity.  This is done to produce the best overall spot quality.  The area that is considered to be in focus is very small, about as small as the diameter of human hair.  To ensure that the laser is always in focus the objective is moved up and down on what we call the Z-stage.  The marks are made by moving the worksurface of the part with the laser firing.

LMS 550 Laser Marking System  (SPECIFICATIONS)

TeoSys also designed, developed, manufactured and fielded  dozens of  LMS-500/550 Diamond Marking System (7-25um spot size  -  marks on gemstones).

 

TeoSys now delivers a PORTABLE EXCIMER LASER marking system.  This system may be attached to a minivan or SUV and transported to various locations.  The system comes with battery backup, thermal and electrical voltage variance protection.  The battery backup maintains system temperature so that the system may stay outdoors.  This excimer laser system runs extremely well at high elevations (over 5500 feet).

TeoSys specializes in the design and manufacture of laser marking systems.  TeoSys has partnered with  PhotoScribe Technologies, Inc. to provide these systems for the jewelry industry in the application of diamond marking.   TeoSys provides a general laser micromachining system and PhotoScribe Technologies applies the system to the diamond marking application.

TeoSys can mark almost any material with characters as small as 10 microns up to characters readable at several inches.  We maintain the systems on site to perform many different types of marking applications.

Excimer Laser marking principles - The laser beam is not a straight shaft of light as some science fiction movies would have us believe.  The beam emanating from the objective of the LMS is actually a complex array of converging and diverging rays.
