The Industry Challenge<\/h2>\n\n

The medical industry poses unique challenges in the marking of surgical devices. The need to ensure permanent traceability, resistance to aggressive sterilization processes, and perfect legibility in the operating room requires state-of-the-art technological solutions. <\/p>\n\n

In fact, the marking must maintain anti-reflective characteristics, which are critical in the operating environment, where intense lighting could compromise the readability of critical information on instruments.<\/p>\n\n

Technological Innovation<\/h2>\n\n

The Compactmark G7S marking system with picosecond technology is the answer to these requirements. The peculiarity of ultrashort pulses allows for completely contact-less, high-contrast surface markings that pass citric and nitric passivation processes while maintaining their legibility. <\/p>\n\n

Unlike conventional nanosecond systems, picosecond marking has no iridescent effects, ensuring optimal reading even under the intense lights of operating rooms.<\/p>\n\n

The thermally altered zone (HAZ) is virtually nonexistent due to the ultrafast interaction between laser and material, which prevents heat propagation to surrounding areas. This is critical for preserving the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of surgical instruments. <\/p>\n\n

Productivity and Precision Engineering<\/h2>\n\n

The G7S system, with its effective working area of 450×400 mm (made possible by axis travels of 400×350 mm), has been optimized for simultaneous marking of multiple components. The structure, made of welded, stretched and milled steel according to a LASIT standard perfected since 1995, ensures exceptional stability and precision. <\/p>\n\n

The handling system integrates components of the highest quality:<\/p>\n\n
