An effective solution for OEMs and Systems Integrators alike, the newest member of Synrad’s FH family of marking heads, the FH Series “Flyer”, marks at speeds up to 450 characters per second in either static (index) or dynamic (tracking) laser-marking applications. A simple mounting kit is all that is required to pair FH Flyer with any Synrad CO2 laser from 10 to 125W to accomplish a wide range of applications.

Flyer’s all-digital technology offers users several benefits, including faster, better marks than ever before. A USB connection eliminates the need for an interface card, simplifying set-up. Once configured (through the USB connection), the head can then communicate with the computer, server or network via Ethernet interface. In addition to the FH Series’ proven ease of integration, FH Flyer provides additional Input/Output capability, as well as a user-accessible, fully isolated 15V power source for powering external I/O devices. Finally, a gas purge port provides a connection point for a customer-supplied purge gas to lower the risk of contamination of internal optical surfaces and ensure consistent marking performance.

In addition to meeting the latest regulatory requirements for WEEE/RoHS, Flyer retains the same mounting configuration and footprint of the previous FH Series heads. With some minor adjustments, replacement of existing FH heads is quick and easy. Flyer uses Synrad’s complete line of FH Series focusing lenses, so the working distances, field sizes, and mark files of current FH users are fully Flyer compatible. Designed specifically for the operation of Flyer, the latest version of Synrad’s powerful control software maintains compatibility with existing FH Series heads.

All Synrad marking heads use Synrad’s Windows^®-based WinMark Pro^® marking software. For more information on WinMark Pro^®, please visit the WinMark Pro^® website.
