Description

  The present invention relates to a laser label printer equipped with a kind of scan head. In particular, the present invention relates to a laser label printer equipped with a large number of scan heads that use a spectroscopic device installed on a kind of laser head and output laser beams through a large number of scan heads.

In the past, methods such as corrosion, lightning, mechanical engraving, and mold press have been adopted for label printing of industrial products, but the precision of product labels printed by this is low, easy to deform, and the efficiency of the finished product Was low and slow. In addition, since the mold is easily damaged and needs to be constantly replaced, if the product is large in quantity and lot numbers or standards are large, the label mold must be frequently replaced, which increases the cost.
On the other hand, in the early 1980s, innovative laser application technology was developed, and laser label printing technology attracted international attention. This is the product of cutting-edge high-tech laser technology and computer technology, and has a composition composed of letters, designs, etc. on the surface of objects that require marking such as plastic, rubber, mechanical parts, electronic parts, equipment, tools, etc. Can be applied. Compared to traditional mechanical engraving, chemical corrosion, silk screen printing, ink printing, etc., the product has a wide range of applications, high label printing accuracy and efficiency, and is controlled by a computer system. There is no limit of service life due to material fatigue like label printing. Also, the mark that the laser gives to the surface of the property is particularly strong because it is solid and permanent.
The current laser label printing machine design mainly uses the inside of the machine to effectively transmit the laser source to the scan head on the machine and perform the marking operation. However, for applications in the current PCB industry, the design of the laser label printer must be very limited in use. This is because the distance between each production line in the PCB industry has been increasingly upgraded, miniaturized and modularized. is there.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a laser label printer having a large number of scan head outputs, so that one laser label printer can be used for a number of production lines according to a one-to-many design concept.

In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a laser label printer having a number of scan heads as described below.
It mainly includes the main body, spectroscopic device (Beam Splitter), multiple transmission lines and multiple scan heads (SCANHEAD)
The body is equipped with a laser head (Laser Head), outputs laser light,
The spectroscopic device (Beam Splitter) is coupled with the laser head of the main body, whereby the laser beam is split through the spectroscopic device,
One end of the plurality of transmission lines is connected to the spectroscopic device, and the other end is connected to a plurality of scan heads. As a result, each of the laser beams dispersed by the spectroscopic device is transmitted to each one transmission line. The present invention provides a laser label printer having a number of scan heads transmitted to a scan head of the same.

  As described above, the present invention is based on a one-to-many design concept, so one laser label printer can output to a number of scan heads through a spectroscope and can be used on a number of production lines, greatly increasing production costs. The production efficiency can be improved. In addition to shortening the output work time, it is possible to effectively improve the competitiveness of the laser label printer itself, and the modular design makes it easy to replace the laser source with a different wattage in use. It is very convenient.

The spectroscopic device 7 (Beam Splitter) is coupled to the laser head 5 of the main body 2, and after the coupling, the laser light is dispersed through the spectroscopic device 7.
The plurality of transmission lines 8 are optical fibers, one end of which is connected to the spectroscopic device 7.
The plurality of scan heads 9 (SCANHEAD) are connected to opposite ends of the plurality of transmission lines 8, respectively, and the laser beams dispersed by the spectroscopic device 7 are respectively transmitted by the transmission lines 8. Is transmitted to the scan head 9.

At the time of implementation, as shown in FIG. 1, after the composition by the main body 2, the spectroscopic device 7, the plurality of transmission lines 8 and the plurality of scan heads 9, the user can adjust the required wattage in the main body 2. The laser label printer 1 is activated by the laser source 4 replaced in advance. Laser light output from the laser source 4 in the main body 2 is transmitted to a plurality of scan heads 9 through a spectroscopic device 7 on the laser head 5 and a plurality of transmission lines 8, respectively. In operation, the laser label printer 1 is used in multiple production lines due to the design of multiple scan heads 9.
Further, since the main body 2 includes a controller 6, each one scan head 9 is controlled by the controller 6 and provides different outputs.
The present invention has the following advantages.
1. The present invention utilizes the design of a spectroscopic device, and because of the one-to-many design concept, one laser label printer can output to a number of scan heads through the spectroscopic device and can be used in a number of production lines.
