Laser software

Magic Mark

The laser software is used to create marking programs as well as to monitor and control the laser and laser peripherals. On customer request and according to application-specific requirements, Magic Mark can be extended in its range of functions using plugins.

Functions of Magic Mark

Icon for ACI laser software Magic Mark for controlling the laser station


Control of the laser station

  • Only one PC for several lasers
  • Magic Mark is executed independently for each laser
  • Each laser can exchange messages with other lasers
  • Number of lasers only depends on the computing power of the PC

Integration into production lines

  • Powerful scripting language for controlling machine sequences (handling systems)
  • Operation as a taskbar icon without a visible window
  • Communication with other programs via socket interface or file-supported, among others
  • Communication with external devices via various interfaces
  • Access to databases
  • Connection to host computer

Advantages of Magic Mark

Standardization

Magic Mark is an object and solution-oriented software without a CAD core. Marking template files created in the customer’s own programs can be easily imported into Magic Mark. Conversely, designs created in Magic Mark can be exported as high-resolution PDFs. This increases the user-friendliness of the software, as users can work in their usual programs to create the template file.

Graphic and image data can be merged in Magic Mark from different sources and embedded in a laser template file without the need to refer to the data source. On the other hand, data can also be processed in placeholders so that an explicit data source is used.

Magic Mark uses the standard fonts installed on the Windows PC (TrueType fonts and OpenType fonts) and user-defined fonts.

Interface interchangeability

Marking files created in Magic Mark are saved in XML format so that their contents can be read with standard programs such as Windows Editor or Visual Studio. Labeling files can therefore be created and modified outside of Magic Mark. There are clear interfaces between the departments, one work step is saved and the entire process is simplified.

External control

In addition to the extensive graphical functions, Magic Mark offers a Visual Basic programming module that facilitates integration into production lines. Furthermore, the software can be controlled by external .NET programs. Software extensions allow cross-platform and cross-manufacturer communication between Magic Mark, laser and external devices. This has the advantage that external devices can be added without having to program individual software interfaces. For example, a laser or workstation connected via the socket interface can be controlled by a PLC, a Linux PC or other connection partners.

Task-specific user interface

A task-specific user interface can be created for the user, which focuses on a particular labeling task or workflow. Unused control elements can be hidden. Such user-specific views can be created via Magic Mark’s internal Basic script or via external C# applications and simplify the process or reduce the amount of training required for changing operating personnel.

Increased performance through plugins

Innovative software extensions allow the laser functions to be flexibly expanded. An extensive selection of useful plug-ins is available. These modules can be integrated into Magic Mark depending on the application requirements. Plug-ins make a significant contribution to optimizing the marking quality and production process as a whole.

Compatibility and maintainability

The basic structure of the Magic Mark program interface is not changed, only modern adaptations are made. This reduces the amount of training required and simplifies commissioning after new installations or updates. There is also a high level of compatibility with previous versions. Magic Mark is also easy to maintain, as the software is not tied to the laser system, but is machine-independent.
