Component Control

Laser Marking and Processing Made Easy

laserDESK

laserDESK is the professional software for laser marking (laser engraving, coding, etc.) and material processing.

laserDESK serves as the control center for your laser processing system's components including the graphical user interface for creation, editing and execution of your complex laser jobs.

laserDESK supports all RTC5 and RTC6 control board functions and iDRIVE functions.

 

Highlights

Complex laser material processing 
and geometry of markings are defined in the laserDESK graphical user interface.
laserDESK
File import and post-processing of
- 2D and 3D vector graphics (dxf, ...)
- stl files and slicing
- bitmap files (png, jpg, ...)
- external text files
laserDESK
Variable objects
such as serial numbers, barcodes, imported texts and graphics are managed independently by laserDESK, ensuring uninterrupted, real-time execution.
laserDESK

Support of 2D and 3D scan systems
through creation and import options for 3D geometries. laserDESK controls SCANLAB's dynamic focusing system (e.g. varioSCAN) accordingly.
laserDESK
Support of excelliSCAN > functions
such as SCANahead and Spot Distance Control.
laserDESK

Remote control and automation
from another application program or PLC. laserDESK runs in the background and  controls the scan head and other connected hardware.
laserDESK
Support of RTC5 > and RTC6 > 
and integration of newly developed RTC6 functions in laserDESK.
laserDESK

Control of mechanical axes
via the serial interface of the PC as part of the laser job. laserDESK can thus be the control center for the entire laser system and control any motors.
