Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PCB Laser Marking Machine UV Fiber Fixed Head VIPIN-260B-01 and what does it do?
The VIPin‑260B is an industrial PCB laser marking machine with a fixed laser head, designed to permanently mark printed circuit boards and metal parts with QR codes, barcodes, serial numbers, logos, and text. It uses either a 5W UV laser (355 nm) or 20/30W fiber laser (1064 nm) to generate high‑contrast, non‑contact marks on a variety of PCB solder mask colors (white, green, black, blue, red) as well as reinforcement steel sheets and shielding covers. Typical applications include traceability marking, MES‑connected inline PCB marking, and offline marking for bare boards or populated PCBs.
How does the VIPin‑260B laser marking machine compare to traditional PCB label printing and high‑temperature labels?
Compared with printed high‑temperature labels and manual labelling, the VIPin‑260B significantly reduces long‑term operating costs and improves reliability: - No consumable labels: Traditional labels require annual purchases of millions of pieces (e.g., ¥395k per year, about ¥1.975M over 5 years), while laser marking has virtually no consumable cost. - Lower labor cost: Labeling often needs at least 2 operators for manual application (about ¥540k over 5 years). Automatic laser marking greatly reduces manual labor. - Permanent marks: Paper or film labels can drop off, fade, or break easily under reflow, cleaning, or handling, whereas laser marks are permanent and do not disappear. - Throughput: With an average marking time of ~6 s per board (~360 cph), a set of machines can reach multi‑million board capacity annually. For 10 million boards, typically 4–5 sets are sufficient. Over a 5‑year period, users generally see a large reduction in total traceability cost, more stable quality, and fewer field failures due to lost or unreadable labels.
What are the key technical specifications and marking capabilities of the VIPin‑260B?
Key technical specs and capabilities: - Laser type: UV (5 W, 355 nm) or Fiber (20/30 W optional, 1064 nm) - Laser lifespan: UV ≥15,000 hours; Fiber ≥50,000 hours - Output fluctuation:
What PCB sizes and production modes (inline/offline) does the PCB Laser Marking Machine UV Fiber Fixed Head VIPIN-260B-01 support?
The VIPin‑260B is available in both inline and offline configurations with a fixed laser head: - Inline model: Supports PCB sizes up to approximately 200 × 200 mm. The PCB is conveyed under the stationary laser head, making the code reading and position alignment very stable within this size range. It can be installed at the front of an SMT line and connected to MES for automatic traceability. - Offline model: Supports PCB sizes up to approximately 260 × 260 mm. This version is typically used when the machine is not directly connected to MES and does not need inline code reading. It’s suitable for bare boards or PCBs with components that are processed in batches. In both modes, the fixed‑head structure optimizes stability and repeatability, especially for high‑density QR or Data Matrix codes.
Which materials and PCB surface colors can be marked, and how is code readability ensured?
The VIPin‑260B is optimized for PCB manufacturing environments and can mark: - PCB solder masks: white oil, green oil, black oil, blue oil, red oil, and other common solder mask colors. - Metals: reinforcement steel sheets, shielding covers, and similar metallic components (especially with the fiber laser version). Code readability is ensured by: - Fine laser spot and accurate positioning (±0.03 mm), enabling clear modules even on small 2D codes. - Stable power output (
What is the throughput and productivity of the VIPin‑260B for PCB laser marking?
The typical productivity of the VIPin‑260B is: - Average marking time: around 6 seconds per PCB (varies with code size, content, and number of marks per board). - Average speed: roughly 360 components per hour (cph) per machine in a typical single‑code per board scenario. - Annual output: about 2.376 million boards per machine, based on standard shift assumptions. For higher volumes, multiple machines can be deployed in parallel. For example, production of about 10 million boards typically uses about 4–5 sets of VIPin laser marking machines, allowing capacity balancing across multiple SMT lines.
How does the VIPin‑260B integrate with MES and existing SMT/PCB production lines?
In its online configuration, the VIPin‑260B is designed to be installed at the front of the SMT line or PCB production line. Key integration features include: - MES connectivity: The machine can receive or generate unique IDs, encode them into QR/2D codes, and send marking and inspection results back to the Manufacturing Execution System for full traceability. - Inline transport: Boards are automatically transferred through the machine, marked under the fixed laser head, and passed to the next process without manual intervention. - Code reading and verification: Inline versions can integrate code readers to verify that each mark is present and readable immediately after marking, improving process reliability. The offline model is typically used when MES connectivity or inline transport is not required; operators load and unload PCBs manually or via offline handling equipment and then import/export data batches to the MES or ERP if needed.
