This compact system offers an economical entry into laser marking. The table system delivers outstanding results for individual parts and small-scale series for a wide range of different materials. The OYSTER® is used whenever small parts are to be marked or engraved quickly, flexibly and to a high quality standard. Due to the table layout, the machine can easily be set up at any workstation. Areas of application for the OYSTER® are predominantly the jewelry, medical and tool industries, advertising and wherever it had not been possible to use laser marking and/or engraving in the past for reasons of available space or cost. Optionally the OYSTER can be equipped with an X-axis. The processing area is significantly enlarged, while the external dimensions of the machine remain compact.
