FAQ

What is the MP3 laser marker?

The MP3 is a DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) infrared laser marker with a medium power of 3W and peak pulses over 20kW. It is currently our best-selling product, recognized for its stability and reliability over time. The compact dimensions make it versatile for integration into automated systems or standalone use.

What is the difference between MP3 and MPK?

Both are DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) infrared markers with peak pulses over 20kW, but the MP3 offers 3W of medium power against 2W of the MPK. This typically translates to faster marking speeds. The MP3 is the ideal choice for those who need more performance without sacrificing compact dimensions.

Is the MP3 suitable for industrial traceability?

Absolutely. The MP3 is designed for permanent traceability applications on metals and technical plastics. Sectors such as automotive, medical, and packaging choose it for its reliability and indeleble marking compliant with industry standards.

Does the MP3 include the Full Raster Driver?

No, the Full Raster Driver is available as a standard feature only on the MPK model. The MP3 requires dedicated laser software for control, but offers superior performance in terms of marking speed and operational stability. However, there are no technical limitations to adopting this technology with the MP3. If you have this particular requirement, please do not hesitate to contact us

What materials can the MP3 mark?

Being a DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State) infrared laser, the MP3 is effective on metals and technical plastics. The 3W power ensures faster markings compared to the MPK, and equally precise on a variety of industrial substrates.

Why is the MP3 our best-selling product?

The MP3 combines power, reliability, and compact dimensions. It is the optimal mix for environments with medium-low productivity, where repeatability and precision are essential requirements. The operational stability over time has consolidated its reputation in the industry.

Is the MP3 suitable for integration into production lines?

Yes, the compact dimensions (only 144x276x114 mm) allow for integration into existing machinery or automated lines. The operational stability makes it ideal for industrial environments with intensive work cycles.
