Mobile introduction to laser marking
Laser marking makes it possible to identify glass, store data and trigger processes simply by scanning. The ES-Guard Mobile from HEGLA boraident offers a professional introduction to this technology, with a mobile system designed for use across various processing stations.
High-resolution marking without surface damage
The ES-Guard applies ceramic particles to the pane using a gentle laser printing process. “The resulting marking is machine-readable and establishes the basis for digital applications,” says Dr Thomas Rainer, Head of Organisation and Development at HEGLA boraident. The print is scratch-resistant, weather-proof and lightfast, leaving the glass surface undamaged.
Applying an attractive manufacturer’s mark or a toughened glass marking is often the top priority. “This is where the ES-Guard delivers outstanding print quality and instant design changes with no set-up required,” explains Dr Rainer. Markings can be applied at any stage of processing, whether immediately after cutting or after the tempering furnace.
The marking incorporates a data matrix code to support digital applications. When the glass ID is included in the code, a scanner or mobile device can read the number and report it to the central control system, enabling end-to-end production tracking. In advanced configurations, operators can view information from the ERP system, trigger process steps by scanning or even track production progress.
Data transfer from the cutting system or ERP
The operator positions the ES-Guard Mobile so the print head marks the glass directly on the existing production line. Markings can be applied at any position, including in the area concealed by the frame profile. It is even possible to transfer data from the ERP or cutting system.
