CPM (Capturing-Positioning-Marking) is a vision system for camera-based positioning of laser markings. It provides an accurate live or still image of the marking area and enables direct visual alignment of the layout on the actual component. The system is fully integrated into the ACI Magic Mark marking software – no additional software or interfaces are required.

The CPM Vision system enables precise alignment of the marking layout directly on the camera image of the actual component. This makes it immediately apparent whether the marking is positioned correctly. CPM provides greater reliability and prevents misalignment, especially with small, complex, or frequently changing objects. This significantly reduces the error rate, minimizes scrap and rework, and increases process reliability in series production. Companies benefit from more stable processes and lower production costs.
Depending on requirements, CPM displays a live image or a single image in the Magic Mark graphics area. The camera image is automatically distorted, perspective-corrected, and adjusted to the marking area. This ensures that the virtual marking and the actual object surface match exactly – the marking appears precisely at the intended position. This allows the alignment to be visually checked before processing, which prevents misalignment and significantly increases accuracy in the process.
Stitching creates a high-resolution image of the marking area. This allows even the smallest marking areas, filigree structures, or details that are difficult to recognize to be accurately captured and aligned. Particularly in industries with high quality requirements – such as electronics manufacturing, medical technology, or trimming applications – the CPM Vision system helps to precisely position even the finest structures and mark, trim, or align them in a controlled manner.
The CPM Vision system is fully integrated into the ACI Magic Mark marking software. Positioning is done directly in the camera image – visually, intuitively, and precisely. Camera, lens, and lighting settings can be customized individually, allowing CPM to adapt flexibly to different components and production environments. Integration with Magic Mark also means that all process steps are controlled centrally – from visualization and alignment to marking. This keeps operation simple, safe, and efficient.
The CPM Vision System is used for camera-assisted positioning of laser markings. It displays the marking area as a live or single image and enables precise placement of the layout directly on the camera image or component. This allows markings to be visually checked and precisely aligned before the laser process starts.
Without camera support, the positioning of the marking layout often has to be done manually and by eye. The use of a CPM Vision System reduces this source of error by supporting the user with a perspective-corrected live image. This significantly reduces the risk of incorrect markings, while increasing precision and process reliability.
No, the CPM Vision system does not require any additional software. It is fully integrated into the ACI Magic Mark marking software, so operation and positioning can be carried out directly in the familiar interface. However, it should be noted that CPM is a separate hardware module (camera unit) that must be present on the laser head or retrofitted. Camera-assisted positioning is only possible through the combination of hardware and Magic Mark.
Yes, the CPM Vision system can be retrofitted in many existing ACI laser stations. This makes it possible to equip existing systems with camera-based positioning and thus benefit from higher precision and process reliability—without having to purchase a completely new laser station.
The live image shows the entire marking area and allows the layout to be placed directly on the actual component. If required, a single image can also be used, which is automatically corrected and adapted to the marking area. This ensures that the virtual marking and the actual surface match exactly.
Stitching involves combining several individual images to form a single high-resolution image. This is particularly useful for small structures or delicate markings that would not be fully visible in the live image. Stitching provides the user with a detailed representation for maximum precision.
