Our collaboration with ATN Hölzel goes beyond a simple sales agreement — it's a joint innovation project. The aim is to establish laser-based VIN marking as a standardised process on a broader scale in the automotive industry.
Use case: Robot-guided VIN engraving
Interested parties have already experienced a joint demonstration of the fully automated process in FANUC's new showroom (the FANUC CRX-20iA/L Cobot precisely positions the Trotec VIN marker on the car body).
The engraving of a 17-digit VIN takes less than 15 seconds, including data transfer to the MES system.
Advantages for OEMs:
- Standardised integration into existing lines
- Minimal set-up times and no mechanical wear and tear
- Digital traceability
- Mixed operation on the line, regardless of the material
"The combination of Trotec laser technology and ATN automation expertise creates a solution that is technically impressive and economically sustainable."
Franz Eder, Director of Strategic Projects at Trotec Laser Solutions
Conclusion:
This cooperation is a prime example of Industry 4.0 in practice: it is modular, scalable and digitally networked, and ready for tomorrow's requirements.
