Application areas

A laser reference for placement and alignment

Core Precisor projects the positions held in the recipe onto the working surface as laser lines. By making material edges, the centre axis and setup points visible, it gives the operator an alignment reference across different production processes.

01 · MATERIAL PLACEMENT

Layer and edge alignment

Shows the target edge positions as laser lines while material and parts are placed. The operator works to those references. The projection layout is set from the working surface and the geometry of the application.

02 · MACHINE SETUP

Positioning from the recipe

When the product size changes, the lasers move to the new target positions. While guides, stops or cutting elements are set, the figure from the recipe is shown directly in the working area.

03 · CENTRE AND SYMMETRY

Axis and width reference

A fixed laser marks the centre axis while the moving lasers mark the target positions on either side. This gives centring, width setting and symmetrical placement one shared reference.

Contribution to production

Defined positions, repeatable setup

Showing the recipe dimensions directly in the working area lets material placement and machine setup run from the same references.

Brings the figure to the floor

Laser lines make the target positions visible on the surface. This helps reduce manual measurement transfer and keeps the reference in view during placement.

Eases the product changeover

The positions belonging to a new recipe are shown by servo-controlled motion. How much setup time this saves depends on the layout of the application and on what the operator does.

Standardises the setup method

References defined for a product can be reused, so different operators place and align to the same targets.

Working principle

From recipe to automatic laser positioning

PLC-controlled servo axes carry the laser modules to the defined targets. The projected laser reference lines guide material placement or machine setting, while the operator carries out the physical alignment. The position is not a one-off setting made at installation — it is recipe data.

Working cycle

Recipe

Position and width values for the product are entered at the control interface.

Targets transferred

The PLC sends the position commands to the servo axes for the selected movement configuration.

Lasers move

The lines travel to their target positions under closed-loop control and stop there.

Production

The references stay in place, and the same recipe returns the lines to the same positions on each run.

What This Architecture Delivers

Protected housing

The laser modules, servo axes and cabling sit inside a closed housing. Dust, fibre and moisture from the line cannot reach the moving parts; cleaning is limited to the outer surface and the laser window.

Permanent centre reference

The fixed laser in the centre never moves. Symmetrical recipes are set up around this line, so the machine centre can be verified at any time without measuring.

Symmetrical motion

In dual-channel and symmetrical configurations two lasers move at the same time; the same number of steps shows twice as many line positions.

Compact mounting

The system is mounted over the line as a single housing. No rail along the machine, carriage park zone or extra chassis is required.

Proportionate investment

On lines with few reference lines, one or two axes are enough. Cost follows the number of lines actually needed, not the width of the machine.

Motion configurations

The motion configuration that fits your application

Core Precisor provides independent and symmetrical laser motion in a single- or dual-channel axis layout, with a fixed centre reference laser added where it is needed. Select a motion configuration and see how the laser modules position themselves across a 1,200 mm working width. The view is schematic; travel limits and module layout follow the requirements of the application.

Example travel time

The view is schematic. The time assumes 1,000 mm/s and a 0.25 s dwell per step; the actual acceleration profile, the spacing between modules and the operator’s own setting time are not modelled, so it is not the total setup time.

Features

Key selection criteria

Travel, projection conditions and control infrastructure are assessed together, so the laser reference suits the line’s setting method and working area.

Accurate positioning

±1.00 mm

The positional accuracy of the target line. Working distance and mounting conditions are assessed during selection.

Fast repositioning

1000 mm/s

High-dynamic motion that shortens positioning time between recipe positions.

Clear visibility

Red and green laser

Red or green laser options on both fixed and moving modules. Colour is chosen to suit the working surface and the ambient lighting.

Communication

PROFINET · EtherNet/IP™

Options for communicating with the line control system. Protocol and connection scope are defined during the project.

Housing length options

600–4,000 mm

Housings from 600 to 4,000 mm, with longer housings designed on request. Usable travel and mounting layout follow the dimensions of the application.

Service

Damped cover

A cover that opens and closes easily for laser replacement and calibration.

Mechanical design for your machine

Sized to your line

Core Precisor housings are sized to the working width and mounting conditions of your line. Housing length, usable travel and mounting points are set from your machine drawings. The diagram below shows how usable travel relates to housing length — the two are not the same figure.

The drawing assumes an example layout with 80 mm clearance at each end. Usable travel is confirmed per project from the laser module size, the end limits and the chosen configuration.

SAFETY

LASER SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

Laser class and labelling

The class of the line laser module used in the system is stated on the product label and in the user manual delivered with it. Modules must be operated under the conditions defined in that manual.

During operation

The beam must not be viewed directly. Reflection angles on glossy surfaces are assessed together during installation, and the operator’s working position is reviewed at commissioning.

During maintenance

The system must be de-energised and the line brought to a safe state before optics cleaning and mechanical checks.

Certificate of conformity

The industrial positioning laser modules used in the system have been assessed against EN 55011 and EN 55032 electromagnetic compatibility requirements and certified by TÜV Rheinland LGA Products GmbH (Cert. No. AK 50498967 0001). Request the certificate.

Conformity documentation

The declaration of conformity and the technical file for the delivered system are supplied with the delivery package, project by project.
