Rotary table laser marking machines use a synchronised rotary motion and focused laser beam to apply markings accurately around the circumference of round or irregular objects. Key to this technology is the rotating table or rotary chuck, which ensures uniform movement during the marking process, resulting in consistent quality across the entire surface.

The synchronisation mechanism connects the rotary axis’s rotation speed and angular position to FlyCAD’s motion control system, which coordinates the galvanometer scanner’s beam position to track the rotating surface in real time. As the workpiece rotates at a controlled speed, the galvo scanner advances the mark along the circumference in synchronisation, so each scan line of the mark is placed at the correct circumferential position of the rotating part — building up the complete wrap-around mark or 360° logo one strip at a time, seamlessly and distortion-free.

Core System Components

• Fibre Laser Source (20W / 30W / 50W): the marking energy source, with power matched to material and required mark depth
• Rotary Table or Rotary Chuck: holds the cylindrical workpiece and rotates it at a controlled, FlyCAD-synchronised speed
• F-Theta Focusing Lens (Ø140 mm / Ø220 mm marking fields): focuses the beam consistently within the marking zone during rotation
• FlyCAD Multi-Axis Control with Rotary Axis Synchronisation: manages beam position and rotary speed coordination, cylindrical coordinate transformation, and variable data integration
• 110–230 VAC Power Supply: flexible voltage compatibility for Indian 230V standard and international use
• Automation Integration Interfaces (PROFIBUS, PROFINET, RS232, I/O): supports robotic part loading and production line integration

FlyCAD Laser Marking Software Features

High-Precision Laser Source with Rotary Integration

Fibre or CO₂ laser with excellent beam quality and long service life, integrated with a smooth, accurate rotary table or chuck for 360° coverage. The synchronisation between laser pulse timing, galvo scanner position, and rotary axis angular position is managed in real time by FlyCAD, ensuring each mark element is placed at the correct position on the rotating component surface to micron-level angular accuracy across the full circumference.

Versatility in Product Marking

Handles metals, plastics, ceramics, glass, and wood on cylindrical, conical, spherical, and irregular geometries. This material and geometry breadth makes the rotary table system a single solution for the range of cylindrical and round components common across automotive, medical, industrial, and electronics manufacturing, without requiring separate dedicated marking equipment for each component type.

High-Precision 360-Degree Marking

Consistent depth, clarity, and contrast across the full circumference. Supports logos, serial numbers, text, and intricate wrap-around designs. The synchronised rotary system produces seamless, continuous marks across the full 360° of the component circumference without the join artefacts, angular positioning errors, and inconsistent focus that multiple-pass flat-bed marking of cylindrical components introduces.

Increased Efficiency

Minimises setup and repositioning with automatic rotation. High-speed batch processing improves throughput. The automatic rotary mechanism replaces the manual part rotation and repositioning sequence that flat-bed marking of cylindrical parts requires, reducing both operator time and positioning error per part and enabling consistent, high-speed batch production marking on cylindrical components.

Non-Contact Marking Process

No mechanical wear and tear for longer machine life. Gentle process that safeguards delicate and fragile surfaces including thin glass vials, coated medical instruments, and polished precision components that mechanical marking contact would risk scratching, deforming, or contaminating.

Automotive and Mobility Components

• VIN and engine component marking: permanent identifiers on engine blocks, crankshafts, and other cylindrical parts without distortion, supporting IATF 16949 traceability requirements for Indian automotive Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers
• Brake and axle markings: laser marking curved shafts, hubs, and bearings with serial numbers or batch information that survive the thermal and mechanical service life of these safety-critical components
• Transmission and suspension parts: high-resolution engraving on gears, rods, and dampers for lifecycle tracking and part validation

Medical and Pharmaceutical Devices

• UDI compliance: laser marking stainless-steel surgical instruments and medical implants with clear, regulation-compliant codes to CDSCO MDR 2017, EU MDR, and FDA UDI requirements without affecting sterilisation resistance or biocompatibility
• Pharma vials and tubes: precise rotation-assisted marking on glass and plastic vials, ampoules, and test tubes at the circumferential accuracy required for pharmaceutical serialisation compliance
• Diagnostic tools: graduated depth markings and identification on cylindrical instruments like pipettes and probes, supporting GMP compliance in pharmaceutical research and quality control laboratories

Electronics and Electrical Manufacturing

• Cables and connectors: permanent markings on cylindrical cable insulation, terminal pins, and wire jackets for production traceability and installation identification in electrical and electronic systems
• Sensors and housings: mark curved sensor bodies and electronic enclosures with model numbers and calibration data that survive the operational environment of installed electronic systems
• Component serialisation: accurate laser engraving on small, round electrical components used in control and power systems, supporting India’s expanding electronics manufacturing sector under the PLI scheme

Forging and Die Casting Industry

• Part numbering and branding: marking cast and forged components such as bushings, pistons, and sleeves directly on their cylindrical surfaces for production batch traceability at Indian automotive forging and die casting clusters
• Heat lot and batch codes: tamper-proof identification for traceability and quality assurance on heat-treated or coated cylindrical components where marks must survive post-forging processing
• Surface-hardened components: laser marking remains readable on heat-treated or coated parts without compromising surface properties

Industrial Tools and Metrology

• Cutting tools: codes, logos, and specifications on drill bits, taps, milling heads, and end mills with marks that survive the coolant, chip, and wear environment of cutting tool use
• Measurement devices: graduated scale markings and serial IDs on callipers, cylindrical gauges, and measuring rods for metrology traceability and calibration management
• Tool holders and collets: permanent, non-contact marking of precision round tooling for machine calibration and inventory control, without the surface damage risk of stamping or mechanical marking

• Rotating actuator parts: high-contrast laser marking on tubular aerospace parts, actuators, and valve housings that withstand aerospace service temperature, vibration, and chemical exposure
• Cylindrical fasteners and rods: mark threaded and smooth cylindrical aerospace-grade components with trace codes meeting AMS and MIL-STD traceability requirements, supporting HAL and India’s expanding aerospace manufacturing sector
• Missile and tube marking: marking long cylindrical housings with DataMatrix codes or serial numbers for tracking and maintenance in defence systems
