    Procedure for manufacturing equipment for marking products by laser on demand, and equipment for marking products by laser obtained with said procedure
    5The present invention is related to the sector of equipment for marking andIndustrial coding of products by laser.
    The equipment for the marking of products by laser, also known as equipment of
    10 laser marking, are designed for a specific purpose that determines the characteristics of its components. For example, depending on the substrate on which the marking is intended, the most appropriate laser technology and its corresponding operating power must be chosen. On the other hand, requirements such as laser marking speed or quality and marking size play an important role in the
    15 when choosing relevant components such as optics or the system that controls the mirrors.
    The known laser marking equipment consists of a single block with the components individually fixed in said block, mounted so that it adapts perfectly to its specific purpose. This causes that the equipment of marking by laser are very little versatile once they have been mounted, since they only operate in optimal conditions in the applications for which they have been manufactured. Due to the wide variety of laser marking applications, the possible combinations of components of a laser marking equipment are very high. Consequently, the versatility in the
    The manufacture of laser marking equipment is limited due to the strong dependence on the application to which the equipment will be used.
    The low versatility of known laser marking equipment means that on-demand manufacturing takes a long time to deliver the laser marking equipment. 30 In the case of receiving multiple simultaneous orders, the wait may become unacceptable for the customer. Manufacturing on demand requires sufficient inventory of components, which complicates logistics and makes manufacturing more expensive. Additionally, if the customer modifies the requirements of a team once manufacturing begins, it is usually necessary to start manufacturing a new equipment starting from
    35 the beginning.


    In addition, once the laser marking equipment is assembled and configured, it is complicated and expensive to modify its functionality to adapt it to another application. In the event that, for example, the substrate on which the laser marking is performed is replaced, purchase new equipment that adapts to such a substrate since components cannot be replaced. By
    5 Consequently, users of laser marking equipment must perform an importantinvestment to offer versatility against different marking conditions.
    In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to solve the drawbacks of known laser marking equipment.
    The present invention discloses a method of manufacturing equipment for laser marking of products comprising the steps of:
    - have at least one base plate;
    15 -to have several types of modules in which components of the equipment are grouped, each module comprising a platform on which the components of said module are fixed, each platform of detachable fixing means being provided to said base plate, and each module of a common physical interface for data and power interconnection for module components;
    20 - have housings, back covers and front covers, attachable to said base plate; -select modules from each of the different types of modules for the correct functioning of the equipment based on its future application; -fix removably the selected modules to the motherboard; -fix the housing, the back cover and the front cover to the base plate.
    25 Both the fixing of the components to the platforms of the modules and the fixing of the modules to the motherboard is done by means of positioners of any type.
    Preferably, the step of selecting modules of each of the different types of 30 modules comprises the steps of:
    -select a control module;-select a laser beam generation module;-select a power supply module;
    35 -select an optical module.


    Preferably, the step of selecting modules from each of the different types of modules further comprises selecting an interconnection module, for data interconnection and power supply between the remaining modules.
    5 Optionally, the stage of detachably attaching the selected modules to the boardbase comprises the following stages:
    - fixing the control module, the laser beam generation module and the power supply module to a base plate comprising as positioners an area with
    10 slots of the base plate, said modules being fixed to the slots through detachable fixing means; -fix an optical module to a smooth area of the motherboard with any type of positioner through detachable fixing means.
    Preferably, the step of detachably attaching the selected modules to the motherboard comprises the step of fixing an interconnection module for the interconnection of data and power supply between the remaining modules.
    The procedure for manufacturing equipment for marking products by laser object of the
    The present invention is based on the provision of various types of modules, each module including various equipment components. Before receiving the customer's order, the components are grouped into different functional modules. Once the order arrives, you must choose between each type of module which is the most suitable for the interests of the user and, where appropriate, which is the motherboard to which these modules will be fixed
    25 selected. Next, the selected modules are detachably attached to the motherboard and the housing and the back and front covers are fixed.
    Both the motherboard and the platforms of the modules have positioners that allow carrying out removable fasteners. The positioners can be of any type, such as perforations or grooves in the base plate.
    The manufacturing process object of the present invention allows stock-oriented manufacturing, being able to store different types of modules prepared to be mounted on the base plate of a device quickly once an order is received. The base plate 35 can be the common element for all equipment, and from it the assemblies are mounted


    Other modules depending on the order. Therefore, the present invention allows to reduce both inventory and order manufacturing times.
    In this way, the manufacture of the equipment is very fast and versatile. For example, if it is necessary to modify the characteristics of the equipment to adapt it to a new application, simply replace the modules that are no longer suitable with others that comprise components more appropriate for the new application. Detachable fasteners allow you to easily make these substitutions. Such substitutions can be easily made in the event that the customer modifies the requirements during the manufacturing process. For example, if the customer modifies the marking speed, it is only necessary to remove the optical module and replace it with an optical module with the appropriate components, without replacing the rest of the equipment modules.
    In addition, instead of fixing each component individually to the base, modules that group sets of components are fixed, so that the manufacturing is carried out much faster, the picking process is simplified and the delivery time is noticeably reduced.
    The manufacturing process object of the present invention makes customizing the equipment to suit the needs of the customer inexpensive and simple. Thanks to these characteristics it is possible to manufacture "custom" equipment for each client.
    The present invention also discloses an equipment for laser marking of products obtained by means of the process of the present invention, that is, an equipment comprising a base plate on which components of the equipment are arranged, being fixed to the base plate a outer casing, a back cover and a front cover, characterized in that the different components are grouped into modules, each module comprising a platform on which the components of said module are fixed, each platform having removable fixing means to the base plate, and each module having a common physical interface for data and power interconnection for the module components.
    The components that are grouped in modules communicate and receive power through a physical interface available to each module. The components of a module share interface. This feature greatly simplifies the establishment of


    connections between the different components of the laser equipment and contributes to the reduction of manufacturing time.
    Preferably, the equipment comprises:
    5-a control module;-a laser beam generation module;-a power supply module;-a optical module.
    10 Optionally, the equipment also includes an interconnection module for electrical and data interconnection between the remaining modules. This module speeds up the module interconnection process and streamlines the connection wiring arrangement.
    15 Optionally, the base plate has positioners of any type for attaching the modules in a removable way.
    In one embodiment of the present invention, the base plate comprises, as positioners, an area with grooves and a smooth area with perforations, both of which are intended for fixing the modules to the base plate.
    Preferably, the control module, the power supply module, the laser beam generator module and the interconnection module are detachably fixed to the slots of the motherboard and the optical module is detachably fixed to the perforations
    25 of the smooth area of the motherboard.
    Optionally, the optical module comprises, in turn, positioners of any type for detachable fixing of the optical components on its platform. Also optionally, the aforementioned optical module positioners are slots for fixing
    30 detachable optical components.
    The versatility offered by each module to fix its components allows its placement and removal quickly and easily. Thus, in the event that any component of a module fails, it is not necessary to replace the entire module, but it is sufficient to replace
    35 only the necessary component.


    Optionally, both the said removable fixing means of each platform to the base, and the said removable fixing means of the optical components to the optical module platform comprise a nut that receives a screw, said nut being inserted into the groove and said being Sliding nut through the groove.
    5Preferably, a projection of each platform is fitted inside aslot in the base so that the platform is fixed to the slot.
    The detachable fixing options mentioned allow the installation and disassembly of the 10 modules, or components, easily and quickly.
    For better understanding, some drawings of an embodiment of the laser marking equipment object of the present invention are attached by way of explanatory but not limitative example.
    Figure 1 shows a diagram of all the essential and optional components for the manufacture of an embodiment of the laser marking equipment object of the present invention.

    Figure 7 shows a perspective view of the equipment for laser marking of products of the embodiment of Figure 3, with all modules mounted.
    Thanks to the manufacturing process object of the present invention, different types of modules and motherboards are available before starting the manufacture of laser marking equipment. Each of the types of modules are oriented to a functionality such as, for example, the optical module, which is intended for adapting the laser beam for marking. To perform its function, each type of module comprises components related to its functionality, again using the optical module, which includes the scanner, beam expanders, mirrors and the system that moves them, among others.
    The client communicates to the manufacturer the requirements of his equipment, for example, by means of a software application where the client answers some questions that have as objective to determine the characteristics that the equipment will require based on its future industrial application. Depending on the data provided by the customer, the selection of the appropriate modules and, where appropriate, the base plate to undertake manufacturing can be carried out.
    In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the scheme represents modules and components that make up the laser equipment. The boxes of the scheme that show a solid rhombus in its upper part components or modules essential for the manufacture of the equipment. On the other hand, the boxes that show a hollow diamond represent extra components that can be added to the equipment but are not essential for its operation, such as beam expanders -60-, or beam pointer -70-. In this embodiment, a base plate -10- and its corresponding housing -50- have already been chosen.
    Apart from the extra components of the previous paragraph, in the case of figure 1, laser modules -21- with two different options -21'-, -21 '' are available in stock -, optical modules -22 also with two different options - 22'-, -22 '' -, a control module -20-, power supply modules -23-showing two options -23'-, -23 '' - and interconnection modules -80-also showing two options - 80'-, -80 '' -. Each option has different characteristics and / or components. For example, the power supply modules may be designed for different powers. Finally, a lens -90- is also available, presenting two options -90'-, -90 '' -. It should be mentioned that the front and rear covers of the equipment have not been represented in figure 1, appearing in the exploded representation of figure 2 with the references -101-and -102-.


    Once the modules and components to be fixed on the base plate -10- have been chosen, they are fixed by means of detachable fixing means. In the embodiment of figure 2, the base plate -10-has perforating positioners -13- to allow the fixing of the different modules in a screwed way. For the manufacture of the laser of Figure 2, the inventory of components and modules represented in Figure 1 has been used. Having previously chosen the base plate -10- and its corresponding housing -50-, the rest of the elements have been chosen according to of the technical requirements that the customer needs. In this case, the laser module -21'-, the power supply module -23'-, the optical module -22'-, the lens -90 '' - and the interconnection module -80 '' - have been chosen. The rest of the modules and components did not present more than one option in Figure 1.
    All the elements of figure 2 are detachably fixed to the base plate -10-except the interconnection module -80 '' -, which joins the rear cover -101-first. In the event that the industrial application of the device is modified, it will only be necessary to replace modules that are no longer suitable. In addition, the manufacturing time is very short and the complexity of the process is low.
    Once all the elements have been placed on the base plate -10-, the back cover -101-, the front cover -102- and the housing -50- are placed. At this point the manufacturing of the equipment is finished and it is ready for delivery. The choice of cover and housing may be due to their external design and / or IP protection degree requirements. In all cases, the selected covers are fixed to the same base.
    In the equipment shown, the base plate -10-is always provided with a hole -14-at one of its ends, specifically the end dedicated to the laser beam output, regardless of the laser beam output arrangement (front or lower).
    The platform on which the components of each module are fixed can be understood as an external structure that supports the components. The platform is not necessarily a lower flat base of a module, as in the case of the embodiment of Figures 3 to 7 described below.
    As shown in the embodiment of Figure 3, the equipment for marking of products by laser object of the present invention is mounted from a base plate -10- which has two


    types of positioners. On the one hand, an area with grooves -11-and, on the other hand, a smooth zone -12-at its end through which the laser beam exits. The different components of the equipment grouped in modules are fixed on the area with slots -11-, as is the case of the control module -20-, which is already fixed to the base plate -10-.
    All modules are represented schematically in the embodiment of Figures 3 to 7 for reasons of clarity. In addition, for reasons of clarity also, the control module -20- is shown in Figure 3 without its means of attachment to the base plate -10-.
    Figure 4 shows a detail of the fixing of the control module -20- to the base plate -10-. The platform -30-on which the module components are fixed has removable fixing means to the base plate -10-. The platform -30-comprises, at one end, a projection -31-which is fitted inside a groove -11-and, at the other end, a nut -32-inserted into another groove -11-receiving a screw -33-. The screw -33 crosses a hole -34- of the platform -30- (see figure 5) so that the platform -30-is fixed to the grooves -11- of the base plate -10-. The positioners shown in the embodiment represent a fixing option, the platform can be provided with fasteners screwed at all its ends or it can comprise other types of positioners that provide removable fixing means.
    The equipment components are grouped into modules, which are fixed to the motherboard -10-. In figure 5 you can see the fixing of the generator module -21-of the laser beam where the perforations -34-of the platform -30-are observed through which the screws -33-which are fixed to the nuts pass - 32-inserted into the slots -11-. The nuts -32-can slide inside the slots -11-and can be removed from the slots -11-so that the position in which the modules are fixed can be modified.
    For reasons of clarity, the control module -20- is represented schematically in Figure 5, said figure being represented without its platform and without its fixing means.
    The optical module -22- (see figure 6) is fixed in the smooth area -12-of the base plate -10- instead of in the part with slots -11-. The fixation of the optical module -22- (see figure 6) can be carried out by means of screws -33- that pass through the perforations -34-of the platform -30- and are screwed into the perforations -13- of the plate


    base -10-. Optionally, the screws -33-can also be screwed into the lower cover -40-of the laser marking equipment through its perforations -41-.
    The optical module comprises the scanner, responsible for directing the laser, with the
    5 corresponding interfaces for physical fixation, power and data. The optical module can also comprise the output lens and optional elements such as routers, concentrators, etc. These elements can reach the assembly phase (lens and optional elements) together with the module or be fixed to it during assembly.
    10 The platform of the optical module -22- comprises positioners of any type on the face on which its components are fixed (not illustrated). These positioners provide the different components with removable fixing means to the module platform. In short, the optical module itself performs the function of motherboard for its own
    15 components
    Once all modules have been fixed to the motherboard -10-, as shown in figure 7, the laser equipment -1-is ready to receive the housing and covers as shown in figure 2 (no illustrated in figure 7). The -1-complete team of this realization
    20 comprises the control module -20-, the generator module -21- of the laser beam, the optical module -22- and the energy module -23-.
    While the invention has been presented and described with reference to embodiments thereof, it will be understood that these are not limiting of the invention, so they could be
    25 variables multiple constructive or other details that may be evident to the technicians of the sector after interpreting the subject matter disclosed in the present description, claims and drawings. Thus, all variants and equivalents will be included within the scope of the present invention if they can be considered to be within the broadest scope of the following claims.
