SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR LABELING CONFECTIONARY PRODUCTS WITH LASER-ETCHING
A system may include a conveyor system with a transport path that transports the plurality of objects from a first end to a second end, the conveyor system rotating about a first axis in a transporting direction. A system may include a laser system configured to interact with the plurality of objects while the plurality of objects are on the transport path between the first end and the second end, the laser system including a laser source that emits a laser beam, one or more beam splitters configured to split the laser beam into a plurality of beam segments, and one or more beam deflectors configured to direct each beam segment of the plurality of beam segments onto an outer surface of the plurality of objects such that each beam segment is configured to laser-etch the outer surface of the plurality of objects.
SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR LABELING CONFECTIONARY PRODUCTS WITH LASER-ETCHING
A system may include a conveyor system that transports objects on a transport path from a first end to a second end by rotating about a first axis in a transporting direction. A system may include an inlet adjacent to the first end to group the objects for transportation on the conveyor system. A system may include an outlet adjacent to the second end to sort the objects by separating incomplete objects from whole objects. A system may include a laser system configured to interact with the objects while the objects are on the transport path between the first end and the second end. The laser system may produce a plurality of beam segments such that each beam segment is configured to laser-etch an outer surface of an object.
