🚘 Automotive manufacturers across the world are facing a similar challenge; how to mark battery trays without impacting cycle time or complicating integration?

SIC Marking were recently approached by a global OEM with a familiar conundrum – they needed to mark a DataMatrix and alphanumeric code on a battery tray within a robotic cell but:

🔹 The part is hard to position in a closed chamber because of its size
🔹 The cycle time is tight and requires rapid intervention

▶️ The solution: Using our innovative F.I.T LASER, the robot presents the part directly with no no need for a marking enclosure. Movements involving placing the part in the compartment and removing it were no longer necessary, guaranteeing a significant time saving.

▶️ The result: Simplified integration, time savings, and reliable reading despite casting constraints and part variability!
