Datalogic Laser markers with a compact scan head offers high-performance laser marker based on fiber laser technology. Areas of application: production, industry and healthcare in particularly small, robust scan head, and »Green Spot« laser marking IP64 protection against dust, grease, lubricant coolant, oil drops and water. Entirely compatible with MARVIS (Mark and Validate Integrated Solution).

AREX400 is the new generation of high per formance Laser Markers based on Fiber Laser technology developed to achieve the highest reliability even in harsh manufacturing environments. Because of its’ exceptionally small and robust scanhead machined from solid aluminum, the AREX400 is
unbeatable in tight space installations where a small footprint is mandator y and reliability is a must. The AREX400 incorporates the new LASER GREENSPOT, the programmable visual indicator for immediate and effective visible process feedback directly on the marking area.

The totally new embedded controller is now offering improved per formances, cost effective embedded communication protocols ( TCP/IP, EtherNet IP, Profinet*), reduced noise level down to 65 dB and a new Safety Laser Off (SLO) feature.
