LW2, fully automated laser marking station.
- Touch screen
Just press the touch screen and the LW2 station takes care of the rest! You just need to position the part in the station, then press START to start the complete marking process: the door closes automatically, the laser is positioned at the right focus height, the marking is done in a few seconds and the door opens. This laser station can be used by everyone and does not require training. All you have to do is prepare your marking sheets and load them into the station via the USB port, then you can select them directly on the touch screen interface without using your PC.
- Complete safety
The safety of the operator is our priority, the workstation is certified as class 1 laser products, meeting all safety requirements, allowing use in unrestricted environments: integrated fail-safe relay, protective glass, door closure security, emergency stop, door fitted with sensors and anti-pinch system, integrated extraction and filtration solution to protect users from dust and smoke.
Gravotech’s priority is to provide you with the safest and most durable laser marking station available, that’s why we designed the LW2 to achieve maximum productivity as well as longevity. Mechanic and electronics fully protected in a sealed box resistant to dust and fumes, integrated alarms and controls, dual focal lens protection, fume extractions systems to prevent optics and internal moving parts from contamination.
- Flexibility
Large marking area with 3 sides door, marking of a large variety of parts, from small to big parts, from simple to complex shapes. LW2 is compatible with all laser sources to offer you the possibility to mark on any type of material. The software is still a masterpiece of our turnkey offer, that’s why we propose 2 software choices for the creation and control of your marking station to adapt to your needs and various and varied applications: Lasertrace & Laserstyle.

- Easily find the focal length thanks to the focusing diodes. Simply join the two laser diodes by adjusting the laser height with the motorized axis.
- The laser automatically positions itself to the focal length at the start. You only have to enter the part height directly on the screen.
- Thanks to the simulation mode, the station shows you the exact positioning of your future marking directly on the part.
LW2 is fully programmable to become an automated station:
- All the marking files are pre-recorded by the supervisor on the station.
- The entire marking process is programmable: marking informations, part height, time stamping, serialization, door opening/closing, I/O activation, etc...
- The LW2 can then switch to operator mode.
- No risk of errors, training free, just press a single button to start the next marking
The production mode allows you to go further in managing the traceability of your batches by connecting to your internal databases.
You thus connect the content of the marking to your databases and the history of the marked parts for an easier production process.
The marking station is controlled remotely, thanks to dedicated and programmable I/Os. It can be integrated into a robotic cell and associated with robots or cobots. The speed of door opening/closing has been optimized (2s) as well as the durability of our components to allow high volume production in a difficult environment. This allows you feel secure about integrating our laser station on your production line. Gravotech offers you a ready-to-integrate package.
LW2 in Jewelry
Rotary device
In jewellery, most objects are cylindrical. By adding a rotary device to your LW2, you complete your offer in jewellery personalisation.
Engrave on the outside and inside of rings.
Pin table
Create an air flow under your base material during laser cutting to prevent overheating. By using the cutting pin table, you raise your material by 2 cm and avoid heat deformation, beam returns and colour degradation.
50W laser
With LW2, combine the speed of galvo technology and the power of a 50 Watt laser source. Be comfortable when cutting and fast when engraving for maximum efficiency.
