TeoSys specializes in the design and manufacture of laser marking systems. TeoSys has partnered with PhotoScribe Technologies, Inc. to provide these systems for the jewelry industry in the application of diamond marking.
The LMS-2500 (SPECIFICATIONS) is a laser based marking system. The system holds diamonds below a focused beam of ultraviolet light. The light has been focused so tightly that it burns a small microscopic pit onto the surface of the gem. The depth of this pit is extremely shallow (~1 or 2 microns). The color of the pit can vary from nearly transparent to totally black. The LMS-2500 creates characters by moving the diamond in X, Y and Z (focus) axes while the laser is firing. This is much like holding a pencil still while moving the paper below it to form characters. Marking on the girdle of a gem is the most popular use for the LMS-2500 . The diamond can be marked over the entire diameter of the gem through a series of rotations. The laser is kept in focus like a camera by moving the fixed lens or objective up and down. This motion is called Z-axis motion. In addition to moving the diamond, and the objective, the user has many other controls at his disposal. Laser energy can be varied much like an artist varies the firmness by which he holds his brush. Laser spot size can be adjusted to achieve the effect of selecting different brush widths. The laser can be spaced to produce separate dots or one continuous line. The end result depends as much upon the skill of the user as well as the sophistication of the technology.
The most difficult type of girdle on which to mark is a bruted because a bruted diamond reflects light in all different directions due to its rough surface. Above is an example of how the LMS-2500 system allows the user to see (and mark) on bruted diamonds. The software interface was designed to allow the most simplistic operation of a micromachining system available on the market today. Due to the nature of the diamond industry, the users of the LMS-2500 are non-technical. The software provides a clear and precise step-oriented procedure for the marking process.
The software also allows full access to all system hardware as well as modification of the marking parameters. All user parameters are stored in the Windows registry for ease of use.
