TRUMPF marking lasers permanently mark medical devices and instruments as well as implants with proverbial surgical precision – completely without contact. Whether kidney dishes made from precious metals, implants made from titanium, or a tube made from plastic – TRUMPF lasers process a wide range of materials. This means, for example, metallic medical products can be marked using black marking with a very high contrast and good legibility, whilst providing the highest level of corrosion resistance. This durability is also a requirement for the legally prescribed traceability of medical products. For the laser marking of the UDI code (Unique Device Identification), TRUMPF provides a turnkey complete package – with laser marking system, beam source, image processing, and a corresponding software solution from a single source. TRUMPF is a reliable partner that will help with the development of customized solutions and will work together with customers in the Laser Application Center (LAC) to find the perfect prototype and optimum process.
The TruMark marking lasers. As varied as your requirements for products in the field of medical technology


"In medical technology, I need to be able to retrace every part TruMark is the marking solution that I trust completely."
The best marking quality
There is hardly any industry in which the quality of products is as crucial as in the field of medical technology as the products are frequently used to save people's lives or keep them alive. At TRUMPF, customers can choose from a wide range of marking lasers for many different applications and materials – from stainless steel to plastic. It is even possible to label the most delicate of components and sensitive surfaces due to the good focusability of the marking lasers. The TruMark 6030 has, for example, internal power measurement and control, which ensures that a high level of processing quality is maintained. The new TruTops Mark marking software will also make it possible to mark complex 3D bodies without distortions using the laser in the future.
Traceability
Medical technology products must meet a range of legal regulations for clear traceability. Labeling with the UDI code (UDI = Unique Device Identification) is crucial here. In conjunction with the TruMark lasers, TRUMPF provides a customizable software solution for this – if required including quality control and subsequent documentation of the results and process data. TRUMPF VisionLine image processing can check exactly whether the applied UDI code has actually been marked with the right quality and whether it is functional for later use.
Perfect integration and operation
As production processes in the field of medical technology undergo comprehensive qualification processes, simple and transparent integration of the marking laser and the applicable software plays a central role. For this, TRUMPF provides a standard interface or a customized software solution for safe data management. Customer-specific databases or control systems can be easily linked with the intuitive TruTops Mark marking software using the individually programmable TruTops Mark Module Interface (TTM-MI). The software interface can also be customized in terms of content, appearance, and arrangement to ensure utmost user friendliness. Changes can also be made for customer-specific process steps. TRUMPF also provides support with Equipment Qualification (EQ) as part of the Installation Qualification (IQ) and Operations Qualification (OQ).
