T echnology U pdate TruTops Mark Navigator improves laser mark TRUMPF’s TruTops Mark Navigator is the result of more than a decade of laser marking expertise and development. This interactive software, used in conjunction with TRUMPF’s TruTop laser markers, is a good solution for optimising laser parameters for different laser marking processes and materials, including metal, plastic and ceramic. No specific laser marking knowledge is required in order to use Navigator, which means that even inexperienced operators are able to program the software to achieve outstanding marking results. An easy-to-use, intuitive menu first directs the user to choose the appropriate materials, and then the desired process – such as deep engraving, annealing or ablation. As a final step the operator has to select the marking content and designate whether it is an area to be filled, or lines. The TruTops Mark Navigator software creates a test matrix, which is marked on a test piece. The operator then evaluates the test matrix, selects the field which he likes the most, clicks on the field in the software and the laser parameters are transferred directly into the laser marking program. The Navigator’s zoom-in function allows for fine tuning of test patterns. All this is done within a few mouse clicks and saves not only time to determine the right laser parameters, but helps optimising the mark time and mark quality. TRUMPF’s TruTops Mark Navigator is unique to the market, which primarily uses test files. By comparison, test files are static, whereas Navigator is dynamic and interactive.
