The challenges for medical technology companies in connection with UDI are still on the rise. Companies therefore need to make strategic decisions shortly to optimize their UDI process, especially regarding its digitization. After all, the next MDR implementation deadline is approaching: UDI direct part marking becomes mandatory for class III products as of May 2023.

FOBA is attending the International Manufacturing Technology Show IMTS in Chicago (September 12 – 17, 2022) with three laser marking systems on site and two sample marking giveaways. Automated mark alignment with FOBA Mosaic, marking on a tube using a rotary unit as well as high-speed in-line marking will be presented, in addition to the latest product developments.

FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving is taking part in a new presentation format at "MedtecLIVE with T4M" (Stuttgart, May 3 - 5, 2022). For the first time in this form, several partner companies will set up a production line in the exhibition hall. FOBA will demonstrate laser direct marking as part of the value chain of a medical product.

In a recent webinar, laser marking system provider FOBA presented various technical solutions for the automation of an industrial laser marking process. Such solutions include laser integrated software features, semi or fully automated robot-assisted operation, product-dedicated marking units as well as marking-on-the-fly processes.

Minimum space requirement, maximum marking quality – FOBA will demonstrate these and more benefits of the world's smallest laser marking head Titus during the electronics trade show Productronica from November 16 to 19, 2021. Latest marking software developments as well as solutions for the automation of the marking process are further key topics at the FOBA booth no. B2.207.

Customized automation solutions from visual process control to robotic parts handling: Automation of laser marking can help manage increasing marking requirements and save costs in the production process. Especially in the context of increasing traceability marking regulations, the direct part marking is on the rise. Therefore, FOBA, in cooperation with automation experts, offers technical solutions that make the marking process more efficient for industrial customers. How this is implemented differs individually.

FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving (Alltec GmbH) offers support for production companies that have to cope with special requirements in the corona crisis.

FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving, a global leader in industrial laser part marking and engraving solutions, has introduced another laser marker for line integration: The new FOBA Y.0200-S model is an upgrade to the existing range of fiber laser marking systems. The powerful marking laser is characterized by its compact design and gives manufacturers a high amount of marking and mounting versatility.

FOBA's latest innovation is available on the market after having had its first introduction at some recent tradeshows: Just over 20 centimeters long and around 630 grams light are the dimensions of the new Vector Scan laser marking head called Titus. Being part of the new 20-watt or 30-watt FOBA fiber laser marking systems Y.0200-xs / Y.0300-xs, the novelty offers unprecedented flexibility in terms of line integration, usability and speed.
