Large-Area Laser Processing Consolidates Processes. SIer-Designed 'Process-Driven' Laser Marker 'PICTURA' Now Available.
Quantec Inc., a system integrator specializing in laser process technology, is launching 'PICTURA,' a new laser marker designed to address the demand for large-area processing and process consolidation, which traditional laser markers struggle with. Its 'process-driven' design focuses on optimizing laser parameters from the application perspective, rather than being machine-centric.

Quantec Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) is a system integrator (SIer) specializing in laser process technology and is promoting the deployment of its original laser marker 'PICTURA'. PICTURA was developed based on a 'process-driven' design philosophy, which 'calculates backward from the processing content' rather than being 'machine-centric', to meet the needs for large-area processing and process consolidation that conventional laser markers have struggled with.
■ The 'Gap' in Manufacturing Sites
As manufacturing lines become larger and processes are increasingly consolidated, there is a growing demand to utilize laser markers for large-area processing and applications other than marking (such as removal, cutting, welding). However, conventional laser markers are designed primarily for 'marking and traceability,' making small areas and fixed output their basic specifications.
It is not uncommon for compromises to be made in both tact time and processing quality when equipment designed for different purposes is forcibly repurposed. PICTURA was created to resolve this gap.
■ 'Process-Driven' Design Possible Because We Are an SIer
At the core of PICTURA is the design philosophy of 'defining the optimal wavelength, output, and area by calculating backward from the processing content, rather than being machine-centric.'
As an SIer with knowledge of the physical phenomena of how light interacts with materials, we can simultaneously achieve the following three points:
Reproducibility: Stable processing results required in mass production lines
Optimal conditions: Selection of wavelength and output tailored to material, shape, and purpose
High-quality processing: Minimization of thermal effects, precise spot diameter control
'Envisioning the desired processing' — under this concept, PICTURA embodies the strength of an SIer, which gets involved in the customer's process from the design stage of the processing, as a device.
■ Three Values PICTURA Brings
1. Process Consolidation and Tact Time Reduction through Large-Area Processing
Supports a scanning range of up to 2000 x 2000 mm (for CO₂ wavelength).
(Example: automotive film cutting or roll-to-roll marking processes)
By processing large workpieces in bulk, it reduces the need to divide into multiple processes and transport between machines. This simultaneously achieves shorter tact times and reduced stop risks and maintenance costs.
2. Designed as a 'Processing Machine' Beyond Marking
Supports multi-purpose processing including removal, cutting, and welding, not just printing and engraving.
Expansion to inspection, traceability, and system integration is possible through collaboration with partner companies. A lineup of wavelengths (IR / GR / UV / CO₂ 9.3μm・10.6μm) is available to suit the processing purpose.
3. Mass Production Stability Supporting Air and Water Cooling
While based on a design that can cover large-area processing with air cooling, it also supports expansion to water-cooled specifications to further enhance reproducibility in mass production lines.
Specifications can be selected with an eye on the operational phase after introduction.
■ Integrating into the 'Line' — Value Provided as an SIer
PICTURA is not limited to standalone device sales. As a system integrator, Quantec consistently handles proposals for integration into existing manufacturing lines, support for image processing alignment, on-the-fly processing, roll processing, and complete systemization.
The company's differentiator is that it delivers a combination of SI functions, starting from the 'PICTURA' package, rather than offering full custom orders from scratch.
