“Our portfolio of laser sources is designed to meet the needs of various applications. Whether low or high volumes or small and large marks or anything in between, we have a laser source to meet every client need,” says Michelle Krembel, owner and CEO of Columbia Marking Tools.

The leading marking solutions provider focuses on reforming the marking industry with its game-changing product suites, one of which is CMT Eclipse Laser Marking Machines.

The compact Model LE16 is made for small parts, and the versatile Model LE24 offers customizable options for mid-size components. In contrast, the complete large bed Model LE48 is suitable for marking large parts with flexible positioning.

Its most popular solutions are Model LER and LET. Model LER Indexing features a revolving indexing turntable design that saves the manual labor of closing doors.

The Model LET’s tunnel solution facilitates fully automated lines where the product can be marked without being removed from the conveyor line.

CMT also offers standard manual stations with automated doors and upgrades to incorporate robotic loading and unloading. This innovative capability saves time and provides a high return on investment. The turnkey stations with fixturing for quick production have various automated axis functions, including Powered Z, X-Y tables, and rotators.

CMT’s capabilities were highlighted when a client approached it with the challenge of high-volume production of various parts with varying sizes and materials. The traditional laser station could not meet their requirements. It solved this problem by implementing the model LER turntable design, which ensured high production throughput while making it ready for the potential future implementation of a robotic cell. CMT also provided a flexible fixture system for quick changeover between different parts and sizes, which satisfied the client’s needs.

This commitment to building durable equipment and offering a wide range of marking solutions sets CMT apart, making it a top choice for customers looking for versatile and lucrative marking solutions. Its laser marker machines provide cost-effective solutions that are “off the shelf” and have quick turnaround times.

CMT emphasizes working closely with clients to design an engineered solution that fits their applications. Its state-of-the-art technology and commitment to providing durable and reliable marking solutions make CMT a top choice for businesses and industries needing marking solutions.
