Marchtrenk, 02.09.2025 (PresseBox) - Our collaboration with ATN Hölzel goes beyond a simple sales agreement ? it's a joint innovation project. The aim is to establish laser-based VIN marking as a standardised process on a broader scale in the automotive industry.

Use case: Robot-guided VIN engraving

Interested parties have already experienced a joint demonstration of the fully automated process in FANUC's new showroom (the FANUC CRX-20iA/L Cobot precisely positions the Trotec VIN marker on the car body).

The engraving of a 17-digit VIN takes less than 15 seconds, including data transfer to the MES system.

Advantages for OEMs:

- Standardised integration into existing lines

- Minimal set-up times and no mechanical wear and tear

- Digital traceability

- Mixed operation on the line, regardless of the material

"The combination of Trotec laser technology and ATN automation expertise creates a solution that is technically impressive and economically sustainable."

Franz Eder, Director of Strategic Projects at Trotec Laser Solutions
