Adapted to changing requirements

Production requirements are constantly changing – components change, processes are adjusted, and production volumes vary. The Workstation Professional combines precise positioning with application-specific features, ensuring that a wide range of marking tasks can be reliably integrated into everyday manufacturing operations.

A new precision axis system and intelligent axis control enable controlled movements during setup as well as dynamic operations during production. Axes, workpiece holders, vision systems, and other options allow for precise adaptation to specific applications and processes. As a turnkey system solution compliant with Laser Class 1, the Workstation Professional is designed for industrial use.

Workstation Professional – Your benefits at a glance

Precise axis control, customized configuration, and user-friendly operation


Precise positioning – Slow-motion mode for precise and controlled axis movements during setup
Dynamic production – High-performance operation for fast and productive movement sequences in the production facility
Flexible configuration – Motorized axes, rotary axes, vision systems, and workpiece holders as needed
Convenient to use – Electric door, control panel, lighting, and adjustable monitor arm for greater ease of use
Centralized control – Magic Mark V3 connects lasers, peripherals, and external systems via various interfaces

Intelligent axis control

Set up with precision. Produce dynamically.

Precise movements during setup, high dynamics during production: The Workstation Professional’s intelligent axis controller is designed to meet both requirements. In slow-motion mode, positions can be approached in a controlled manner, while performance mode enables fast motion sequences.

Together with the new precision axis system, this forms the foundation for precise positioning and efficient processes – from setup to series production.

Designs & product family

The right design for your production environment

Whether on an existing workstation, freestanding with a base, or with a larger workspace: The Workstation Professional offers a variety of solutions for different operating conditions. The standard model is available as a tabletop version or with a base. For applications requiring more workspace, the Workstation Professional XL rounds out the product family.

Table-top version

The compact design is intended for placement on a suitable workstation. It is ideal when the Workstation Professional is to be integrated into an existing work environment.

With base frame

With the base frame, the Workstation Professional becomes a freestanding laser workstation. The freestanding design provides a stable base and additional flexibility in placement.

Workstation Professional XL

For applications that require more space for workpieces and machining tasks, the Workstation Professional XL is available with a larger work area.

Options & extensions

Tailored to your laser marking needs

The workpiece, marking area, and process determine the configuration. To meet these needs, the Workstation Professional can be specifically enhanced with solutions for positioning, vision, handling, and system peripherals.

Axes & Workpiece Positioning

An optional motorized Y-table increases the marking area, thereby expanding the possibilities for larger workpieces or marking positions that are farther apart.

For rotationally symmetric components, the Workstation Professional can also be equipped with a rotation axis. This enables the marking of cylindrical workpieces. Various workpiece holders, such as prism or indexing devices, ensure secure and application-specific positioning.

Usage & Extensions

For recurring labeling tasks, the Workstation Professional can be equipped with various handling solutions. These include, for example, a label handling system and a film handling system with an unwinder and rewinder for film label application.

Side openings on the left and right provide additional options for optional attachments or feed-throughs. This allows the Workstation Professional to be specifically tailored to additional components and the intended manufacturing process right from the system design phase.

Vision & Identification

Vision systems provide support in applications where workpieces need to be reliably detected and markings precisely positioned. With the CPM vision system, the operator aligns the marking directly with the camera image of the actual workpiece. The AOI vision system goes one step further: It automatically detects the position and orientation of a component, aligns the marking accordingly, and can then verify the result.

In addition, code and ID reading systems can be used to incorporate markings and identification features directly into the marking process. The Workstation Professional can thus also be configured for applications in which positioning, inspection, and traceability play an important role.

Exhaust Systems & Peripheral Equipment

In laser marking, a suitable exhaust and filtration solution is an integral part of the system design. It removes emissions generated during processing from the work area, thereby contributing to health and environmental protection. The Workstation Professional offers a connection for an external exhaust and filtration system and can be equipped with a suitable laser exhaust system.

Depending on the system configuration, desktop or industrial PCs are also available. This allows the laser station, controller, and necessary peripherals to be configured to suit the respective production environment.
