Abstract

A laser marking system for coil springs includes: a support unit; a first fixing jig coupled to the support unit and contacting one surface of a coil spring; a second fixing jig located at a side facing the first fixing jig and contacting an surface opposite to the surface of the coil spring; a moving unit frame connected to the support unit and to which the second fixing jig is fixed; a moving unit servo motor connected to the moving ball screw; a marking unit frame connected to the moving unit frame and configured to move forwards and rearwards towards the coil spring to perform a marking operation on the coil spring; a marking unit ball screw connected to the marking unit frame; a marking unit servo motor connected to the marking unit ball screw; and a laser marker fixing to the marking unit frame.

Claims (11)

1. A laser marking system for coil springs, the laser marking system comprising:

an arranging apparatus including a positioning jig for positioning a coil spring, and a positioning jig driving unit configured to move the positioning jig upwards in such a way that the positioning jig places the coil spring at a predetermined position;

a support unit including a moving unit shaft;

a moving unit movably installed on the moving unit shaft of the support unit and including a marking unit shaft in parallel to the moving unit shaft, wherein the moving unit includes a moving unit shaft coupling groove into which the moving unit shaft is inserted;

a first fixing jig installed on the support unit and configured to hold one end of the coil spring placed at the predetermined position;

a second fixing jig installed on the moving unit and configured to move toward and away from the first fixing jig along the moving unit shaft, the second fixing jig being configured to hold the other end of the coil spring placed at the predetermined position, wherein the positioning jig driving unit is further configured to move the positioning jig downwards after the coil spring placed at the predetermined position is held by the first fixing jig and the second fixing jig; and

a marking unit movably installed on the marking unit shaft of the moving unit, and including a laser marker, wherein the marking unit includes a marking unit shaft coupling groove into which the marking unit shaft is inserted, and the laser marker is configured to face a side surface of the coil spring placed at the predetermined position when the coil spring is held in place by the first fixing jig and the second fixing jig,

wherein the support unit further includes a moving unit ball screw connected to the moving unit shaft and a moving unit servo motor connected to the moving unit ball screw to move the moving unit along the moving unit shaft, and

the moving unit further includes a marking unit ball screw connected to the marking unit shaft and a marking unit servo motor connected to the marking unit ball screw to move the marking unit along the marking unit shaft.

2. The laser marking system of claim 1 , further comprising a rotary motor coupled to the first fixing jig, for rotating the first fixing jig.

3. The laser marking system of claim 2 , wherein the first fixing jig includes an escape part, and the escape part is configured to hold the one end of the coil spring when the first fixing jig rotates by the rotary motor.
