Linx UVG5 UV laser coder

High performance, easy integration and user-friendly innovation

The Linx UVG5 UV laser coder is the ideal solution for permanent marking on flexible films and rigid plastics, without the need for consumables and whilst maintaining the integrity of the substrate. Providing higher production throughput through fast product marking, and with simple integration into existing lines, the easy-to-use Linx UVG5 laser redefines efficiency.

Description

The Linx UVG5 UV laser is specifically designed for permanent marking on complex materials such as delicate mono-recyclable films and rigid plastics, including HDPE, LDPE, and PP. By minimising thermal stress, each coder ensures substrate integrity and reduces the risk of damage, making it an ideal choice for marking sensitive materials where traditional CO2 and fibre lasers may cause undesirable effects.

Capable of coding up to 2,000 characters per second, the Linx UVG5 coder provides permanent, high contrast marking. Fast and consistent coding maximises production throughput while supporting traceability with both human-readable and machine-readable codes, including 2D Data Matrix, and QR including GS1 formats.

By eliminating the need for consumables, the UVG5 laser reduces both the cost of ownership and the need for ongoing monitoring. This contributes to a more sustainable solution while minimising downtime and maximising operator efficiency. The integrated Focus Shift technology allows for marking on multi-sized products on a single production line without the need for manual adjustments, reducing setup times and enhancing production line flexibility.

Furthermore, the Linx UVG5 laser coder’s class leading enhanced integration and flexibility make it suitable for a wide range of applications. With various adaptable beam delivery options, it seamlessly integrates into existing production lines and can be installed in space-restricted areas. The user-friendly LinxVision interface simplifies operation and reduces the chance of errors, allowing operators to maintain consistent production with minimal training. While the built-in Pilot Laser and Focus Finder features streamline the setup process, ensuring accurate placement and reducing waste.

Benefits

  • Increased product throughput in a shorter time and line utilisation cost savings with marking up to 2000 characters/second
  • Reduced risk of damage to packaging as the UV laser creates minimal thermal stress on substrates compared to CO2 and Fibre marking
  • Highly visible and highly readable traceability codes delivered by smoother-edged codes with higher contrast
  • Built-in integrated Focus Shift means quick product changeovers with no mechanical adjustments to the production line for different size products
  • Easy integration into existing production lines, even in difficult or space restricted areas with the flexibility of the laser extension and turning units
  • User-friendly LinxVision user interface allows mistake-free operator interaction
    Built-in Pilot Laser eliminates costly product waste by ensuring products are marked in the right place
  • Operator accuracy and simplified marking distance setup with the built-in Focus Finder
