Understanding CAB Tabletop Laser Marking System
An Integrated Desktop Package — All Components in One Enclosure
The cab XENO 1 is a fully integrated desktop laser marking machine that combines a fibre laser source, galvanometer scanner, and marking enclosure in a compact package. Designed for versatility, the system supports marking on both metal and plastic workpieces with permanent, high-contrast results. A motor-driven movable Z-axis and focus finder simplify height adjustments and ensure consistent marking quality across varied parts. Marking fields range up to 180 × 180 mm depending on the lens, and the pilot laser allows previewing layouts before final marking. Built-in LED lighting and an automatic operation door enhance ease of use and safety.
The ‘all-in-one’ integration is significant for space-constrained environments: the laser source, galvo scanner, control electronics, safety enclosure, workpiece illumination, and Z-axis motion are all packaged within the 580 × 660 × 700 mm footprint, requiring only power and a network/I-O connection to operate. This eliminates the separate laser source cabinet, separate control unit, and integration cabling that characterise larger modular laser marking systems, making the XENO 1 immediately deployable on a standard workbench without installation engineering.

Key Features and Advantages
Compact Desktop Design for Space-Constrained Workstations
The cab XENO 1 is engineered as a compact, all-in-one desktop laser marking system that fits easily on workbenches and inside cabinets while offering a generous marking area. Its 580 × 660 × 700 mm footprint and ~65 kg weight make it deployable on standard workbenches in laboratories, production cells, engineering departments, or OEM assembly stations where space is at a premium yet precision marking is required.
Industrial-Grade Ytterbium Fibre Laser Performance
Despite its compact size, XENO 1 incorporates a high-quality ytterbium fibre laser source with M² < 1.8 beam quality, delivering stable, permanent marks on both metals and plastics with crisp, high-contrast results that endure harsh operating conditions and resist wear, fading, and environmental effects. The beam quality specification directly enables the fine mark resolution required for small DataMatrix codes, fine-pitch barcodes, and detailed logos on compact components.
Motor-Driven Z-Axis and Focus Finder for Accuracy
XENO 1 features a motor-driven Z-axis that adjusts the marking plane across a 210 mm stroke with precision and minimal operator effort. The integrated focus finder simplifies height setup and ensures the laser is correctly focused on the workpiece surface — critical for repeatable, high-accuracy marking across different parts of varying heights without manual focal distance measurement.
Flexible Marking Field Options
With selectable plano-spherical lenses, the system provides marking fields of 112 × 112 mm or 180 × 180 mm, letting you mark both small and medium-sized components without changing systems or compromising marking resolution. The smaller 112 × 112 mm field produces the finest spot size and highest resolution; the 180 × 180 mm field provides greater coverage area at modestly coarser resolution.
Pilot Laser and LED Interior Lighting
A 650 nm red pilot laser enables visual simulation of the marking layout on the workpiece surface before the actual laser process, reducing setup errors and improving first-part quality. LED interior lighting ensures clear visibility of the workpiece during setup and marking, improving operator confidence and workflow efficiency in the enclosed marking environment.
Automatic Operation Door and EN 60825-1 Class 1 Safety
The automatic motor-driven door opens and closes quickly, enabling safe insertion and removal of parts while maintaining Class 1 laser safety per EN 60825-1 — the highest safety class, meaning the system is inherently safe for operator use without additional PPE when the door is closed. Class 1 classification also simplifies the system’s safety documentation requirements in CE-marked product manufacturing environments.
Versatile Ethernet and Digital I/O Interfaces
Standard Ethernet (TCP/IP) and digital I/O interfaces support integration with external start/stop signals, PLC systems, and automation lines, enabling synchronisation with conveyors, fixtures, or robotics for higher throughput and automated workflows. This connectivity makes the XENO 1 suitable not only as a standalone marking workstation but also as an integrated marking station within a larger automated production cell.
cabLase Software for Easy Workflow Control
The cabLase marking software suite provides a graphical layout editor, barcode and DataMatrix code generation, parameter management, and rapid setup across marking jobs. Software integration with ERP and production systems enables variable data population for serialised production, and the intuitive interface allows semi-skilled operators to produce professional marking results without deep laser expertise.
Applications Across Industries
Electronics and Electrical Manufacturing
In electronics production, the cab XENO 1 delivers consistent, permanent markings on components, housings, connectors, and PCBs. With high-resolution marking capabilities from the M² < 1.8 beam quality, it is ideal for serial numbers, conformity labels, barcodes, and DataMatrix codes supporting traceability and quality documentation in electronics assembly and testing, relevant to India’s expanding electronics manufacturing sector under the PLI scheme.

FAQs
What materials can the XENO 1 mark?
The XENO 1 marks metals — stainless steel, aluminium, anodised aluminium, brass, copper, titanium — and plastics — ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, PEEK, and many engineering polymers — with permanent, high-contrast results. The 1064 nm ytterbium fibre laser is strongly absorbed by metals and many engineering plastics, producing the high-contrast marks required for industrial traceability, UDI medical device marking, and automotive component identification.
What marking field sizes does XENO 1 support?
Depending on the lens, it supports 112 × 112 mm or 180 × 180 mm. The 112 × 112 mm field produces the finest focused spot size and highest mark resolution for small components and fine-detail marks. The 180 × 180 mm field provides greater coverage area for larger components or batch-tray marking of multiple small parts, at modestly coarser resolution. United Spectrum Instruments recommends the appropriate lens based on your component size and minimum mark feature size requirements.
Can XENO 1 integrate with automated lines?
Yes. It supports Ethernet/TCP-IP and digital I/O for PLC and automation integration. The digital I/O enables start/stop synchronisation with external material handling systems, conveyor triggers, or fixture presence sensors. The Ethernet/TCP-IP interface supports variable data population from production MES/ERP systems, enabling automated serialised marking without manual data entry. United Spectrum Instruments provides integration design and commissioning support for customers deploying the XENO 1 within automated production cells.
What safety class does the system meet?
The XENO 1 meets EN 60825-1 Class 1 laser safety standards. Class 1 is the highest safety classification, meaning the system is inherently safe for users when operated with the enclosure door closed — no additional laser safety PPE, zone demarcation, or special safety measures are required beyond standard safe operating practice. This Class 1 classification simplifies the system’s regulatory documentation requirements in CE-marked product manufacturing environments and makes it suitable for office, laboratory, and cleanroom environments where Class 4 open-beam systems would not be permitted.
Does the system require consumables like inks?
No. Fibre laser marking is a maintenance-free process with no consumables required. The mark is produced by the laser’s interaction with the workpiece surface material itself — no inks, ribbons, solvents, or wear parts are consumed. The main scheduled maintenance items are periodic optical cleaning and calibration, with no consumable replenishment or print head replacement activities.
What is the difference between the XENO 1 and XENO 1+ variants?
The standard XENO 1 operates at pulse frequencies of 20 to 60 kHz, covering the majority of industrial metal and plastic marking applications. The XENO 1+ extends the pulse frequency range from 2 to 500 kHz, enabling finer control of pulse energy and thermal input per pulse at both the low end (very low-energy, low-thermal-impact pulses at 2–10 kHz for marking heat-sensitive materials or very thin components) and the high end (very high repetition rates above 60 kHz for applications requiring high scan speeds while maintaining close pulse-to-pulse mark point spacing). United Spectrum Instruments advises on whether your specific marking application requires the extended frequency range of the XENO 1+ during pre-sales consultation.
What is the significance of M² < 1.8 beam quality for marking applications?
M² (M-squared) quantifies how closely a laser beam resembles a perfect Gaussian beam — M² = 1.0 is the theoretical diffraction limit. An M² < 1.8 specification means the focused spot size at the focal plane is close to the diffraction limit, enabling the finest achievable mark resolution for a given focal length and power. In practical terms, it means the XENO 1 can produce sharper mark edges, finer minimum feature sizes (enabling smaller DataMatrix cell sizes, finer barcode bars, and more detailed logos), and better mark contrast at a given power level than a system with a higher M² value. For marking applications requiring small 2D codes or fine-detail marks on compact components, M² < 1.8 is a meaningful quality specification.
How does the pilot laser and layout preview feature work?
The 650 nm red pilot laser is a low-power visible red beam that traces the planned marking path on the workpiece surface at visible (non-marking) power — producing a red light outline of where the marking laser will run, without actually marking the material. The operator can observe this preview to verify that the mark layout is correctly positioned on the component, properly sized, and not encroaching on component features that should not be marked, before initiating the actual laser marking process. This preview step eliminates the most common cause of first-part marking errors — incorrect position or size — by making the intended mark path visible before any irreversible material processing occurs.
