A laser coding company has developed what it claims to be the fastest coders ever with the aim of tackling counterfeiting.

Manufacturers can now achieve permanent codes on a range of materials efficiently and at high speed, according to Linx Printing Technologies in the UK.

The Linx CSL10 and Linx CSL30 can print complex codes into a large marking field of 600mm x 440mm – a size that would have previously required two lasers to complete.

Unique codes can be entered, stored, and changed when required using LinxVision unique software driven via the smart new touch screen that accompanies each laser.

Coding orientations can be adjusted to meet the needs of each product range with the option of multiple beam delivery.

The lasers are available with either an IP54 or IP65 rating suitable for wet and dusty environments.

With a detachable marking head and cables that are easy to disconnect, the laser can be squeezed into tight spaces or mounted above fast-paced production lines when required.

Linx’s long history of laser coding coupled with their global wide installation base has enabled the development of knowledge and expertise across the coding industry.

The Linx coding laser printers are available from Australian distributor Raymax Applications.
