Applications for verification span across almost all sectors. To maximize read rates in production and logistics and to make them predictable, it is essential to measure the marking quality.

The following sectors and applications are a particular focus for MV440 verification systems:

Automotive industry

• Needle marking (DPM): e.g. cylinder heads, cylinder blocks, etc.
• Laser marking (DPM): Cylinder pistons, gearbox components, etc.
• Laser markings on electronic components, printed circuit boards, or enclosures

Pharmaceutical industry

• Print or laser markings on medicines (DPM, OCR)

Aerospace industry

• Needle or laser markings on gas turbine blades (DPM)
• Needle or laser markings on jet engine components (DPM)

Medical equipment

• Laser markings on implants (DPM)
• Laser markings on medical devices (DPM).

Electronics

• Needle or laser markings on hard disk components.
• Laser or etched markings on hard disk components (DPM)

Semiconductors

• Laser markings on rigid and flexible circuit boards (DPM)
• Laser markings on enclosed semiconductor components, heat sinks or heat exchangers (DPM)
  

"Veri-Genius" can be used anywhere where ambient conditions permit the use of the MV440 optical reader - for details, see SIMATIC MV440. Standard ring lights and lenses are designed to achieve IP67 degree of protection by means of the protective barrel, and for glass-free use in the food and beverages industry. If light sources or lenses are used outside the protective barrel, they must be used in compliance with their specification.

Any host and HMI systems required must be selected for a sector and a specific project. The range of application of the selected test method is defined in the specification of the test method and compliance is essential if universally valid results are to be obtained.
