PROMATION USA, a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced automation solutions for the electronics and micro-electronics industries, proudly announces the launch of its next-generation PANDA Laser Marking System — a precision-engineered platform that redefines speed, intelligence, and versatility in PCB and component marking applications.
Developed by PROMATION’s Robotics Division, the new PANDA-460 Laser Marking Cell represents a major leap forward in traceability and process automation. Designed to accommodate any of the KEYENCE laser heads (CO₂, YV04, or UV), the system offers unmatched flexibility for a wide range of substrates and applications — all within a standard work envelope powered by Windows 11 and PROMATION-developed I/O and motion-control cards.
“There are plenty of good laser markers out there — but very few great ones,” said Michael Thomas Goldberg, Vice President of PROMATION USA and head of the company’s Robotics Division. “The PANDA-460 was engineered to close that gap. It’s not only about marking precision; it’s about creating a smarter, more connected experience for manufacturers who demand reliability, remote visibility, and real-time control.”
Smarter, Faster, More Connected
Leveraging PROMATION’s proprietary software architecture, engineers can remotely access and control every aspect of the machine — from programming adjustments and data-transmission speeds to diagnostic review and corrective actions — ensuring maximum uptime and minimal maintenance.
The PANDA system also integrates a high-performance vision-alignment platform, orientation validation, code verification, and double-sided PCB marking, making it one of the most feature-rich solutions on the market. The thoughtful design emphasizes operator experience, delivering an intuitive interface without sacrificing technological sophistication.
“Every detail of the PANDA Laser Marking System was built with the customer in mind,” added Gary Goldberg, President and CEO of PROMATION USA. “It combines the precision and repeatability that engineers expect with the usability and reliability that production teams require — all backed by PROMATION’s reputation for world-class support.”
Engineered for the Future of Smart Manufacturing
The PANDA-460 isn’t just a standalone solution — it’s fully compatible with PROMATION’s growing family of Smart Factory-ready systems, including robotic soldering, PCB handling, AMRs, and inline process-integration equipment. Together, these technologies form a connected automation ecosystem that allows manufacturers to achieve higher throughput, greater traceability, and long-term process optimization.
