New models extend laser coding capabilities

Linx Printing Technologies is launching two laser coders that it says will open up the benefits of the technology to more companies and applications.

Key benefits of the new Linx CSL range include faster printing speeds and greater versatility, along with quicker and easier installation and set-up that help to make laser coding simpler and more accessible.

The Linx CSL10 (10 watt) and CSL30 (30 watt) laser coders feature a more powerful processing board that is able to relay the message from the control unit to the marking head more quickly, delivering higher speeds. The coder is also said to handle complex messages and graphics without any loss of quality, ideal for the requirements of high speed packing and bottling lines.

Both models apply crisp codes onto various packaging materials, including coated paper and card, plastic, glass, rubber, coated metal and anodised aluminium.

A new marking head has been introduced for wide web applications, enabling the coders to code across multiple lines using a single laser, where previously two machines would have been required. An area of up to 440mm x 600mm can be coded, making it suitable for applications such as flexible sheet for lids.

Both models can be specified in an IP65 version, allowing the coder to operate in harsh, wet and dusty environments such as frozen, dairy, beverage, chemicals and construction.

“With our new laser models, we are delivering a significant improvement in performance while also widening the appeal of the technology to companies who might previously have considered it too complex,” explains Matt Eastham, laser business manager at Linx Printing Technologies.

“The Linx CSL10 and CSL30 combine proven Linx reliability with flexibility and ease of use, all of which simplify the process of owning and operating a laser coder.”
