Material

Grade, thickness, surface condition, coating and batch variation.

02

Geometry

Drawing, feature size, joint, datum, gap and optical access.

03

Quality

Appearance, edge, cross-section, strength, sealing and cleanliness.

04

Production

Takt time, handling, inspection, traceability and factory interface.

Record during part-level validation

  • Full resin grade, color, filler or coating, lot and supplier
  • Wall thickness, curvature, ribs, joint, fixture and cosmetic zone
  • Wavelength, pulsed or continuous mode, focus, speed, pressure and extraction
  • Dimensions, melt/charring, contrast, strength, seal or assembly acceptance

FAQ

Common project questions

What information should we send first?

Please provide the material grade, dimensions, drawings, photos, required quality, production rate and any existing inspection standard.

Can Aogeo Laser test our real samples?

Yes. Sample validation is used to define the process window, compare technical routes and confirm the appropriate platform before final configuration.

How is the laser source and power selected?

Selection depends on absorption, thickness, feature size, heat input, quality and takt time. Power is one parameter inside the complete process window.

Can the system connect to an existing line?

Yes. The project can include robots, handling, vision, inspection, PLC, recipes, serial-number binding and MES or database interfaces.
