Magic Mark V3

The factors to consider when deciding on a laser marking investment are how user-friendly the marking software is, what is included in the scope of delivery and how innovative the laser system is. In the area of laser marking software,MagicMarkV3setsnewstandards.Thesimpleoperationofthesoftware’s graphical interface allows fast creation of complex marking even for inexperienced PC-users.

In addition to its extensive graphic functionality, the software offers a Visual Basic programming module, to facilitate integration into production lines. Another highlight is the option to control the marking software through ex-ternal.NETprograms.Eventhemostcomplicateddatacommunicationscanbe easily achieved by using this method. In this way, additional investment costs in client-specific software solutions can be avoided.
