Application Tests, Sample Studies, and Proof of Concept (PoC) in Laser Marking Machines

In laser marking investments, it is highly important to verify technical compatibility and the expected quality level in advance. For this reason, application tests, sample studies, and PoC (Proof of Concept) processes are critical steps that minimize risks. For Venox’s application-based testing services: Laser Marking Machines.

The Importance of Application Tests Before Laser Marking

Each material, surface, and production scenario requires different parameters. Rather than relying on technical values on paper, tests performed on the actual part form the basis of the right decision.

Verification of material and surface compatibility

Even within the same material group, alloy, coating, or surface roughness can significantly affect the marking result. Sample tests reveal these differences clearly.

Evaluation of marking quality and contrast

Readability, depth, and aesthetic expectations are evaluated objectively on test samples. If necessary, alternative parameters are tried.

Cycle time and speed analysis

During tests, marking time is measured and checked for compatibility with the line’s overall cycle time. This analysis is critical for capacity planning.

Comparison of different laser technologies

The same application can be tested with fiber, CO₂, or UV lasers to clarify the quality–cost–speed balance.

Early identification of risks

Risks such as surface damage, deformation, or low contrast are identified before moving to mass production.

The Proof of Concept (PoC) Process and Decision Support Mechanism

PoC studies aim to prove the success of the laser marking solution under real production conditions. This process strengthens both technical and commercial decisions.

Testing with real parts and real data

Within the scope of the PoC, real parts to be used in mass production and variable data scenarios are tested.

Validation of quality, speed, and repeatability

Consecutive markings performed with the same parameters demonstrate quality consistency and system stability.

Testing integration and software compatibility

Integration steps such as PLC triggering, data transfer, and camera verification can be simulated during the PoC process.

Clarifying the investment decision

Test and PoC results make ROI and operational benefits visible, as well as technical suitability.
