FOBA MarkUS - New Intuitive Software for Laser Marking

Date Announced: 01 Dec 2010

FOBA Laser Marking + Engraving introduces MarkUS, the novel high-performance laser marking software with intuitive and easy-to-use interfaces full of distinctive features.


With MarkUS, FOBA introduces an intuitive graphic design and high-performance laser control software for the creation of high quality and highly precise laser markings. MarkUS is compatible with the majority of FOBA’s laser marking systems and machines and supports the control of up to 3 axes including a rotary axis. FOBA’s new software for laser marking is available in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian. Other languages such as Chinese will follow soon.

MarkUS comes with a suite of three powerful programs with several configurable User levels:
1. MarkUS Designer is the easy-to-use graphic design software interface for creating, editing and setting up laser marking jobs. Color codings, floating toolbars and the use of common icons support the intuitive and visual user guidance.

2. MarkUS Runtime is the intuitive User interface and high-performance laser control software for the start, stop and production of laser markings. The Runtime module provides all status information on both machine and marking jobs and is especially easy-to-use as it comes with the same controls as the laser marking system or machine.

3. MarkUS Administrator is the interface for system setup and configuration.

Intuitive interfaces, easy-to-use graphic design tools and excellent layout functionalities provide visual user guidance and ensure lean and efficient workflows. Various marking contents and formats (e.g. multiple language fonts, machine-readable codes, several graphic import filters, grayscale images, complex fillings, advanced text editing, sequence and serial numbering; automatic date, layer, time coding, real-time clock; online coding of individual data, etc.) offer the ultimate flexibility.

MarkUSTM comes with a built-in grayscale image support for the convenient creation of grayscale markings and features unique add-on capabilities such as remote control via TCP/IP, Profibus or serial communication for increased automation and productivity.

The innovative vision tool option Point & Shoot is a powerful feature for direct mark positioning. Point & Shoot eliminates the lengthy phases of trial-and-error used to align the laser mark to the part. With Point & Shoot users visually position the mark on the part with an accuracy of a line width. This WYSIWYG tool helps reduce fixtures and fixture related costs, significantly curtails time consuming trial-and-error processes, and ensures upfront verification of what the mark will look like and where it will be applied.
