Linx Printing Technologies launches Linx SL1, an entry-level solution that enables more companies to achieve a high quality code in packaging.
The company says the laser coder has the speed, reliability, ease of use and low cost of ownership synonymous with the Linx scribing laser range, but is tailored particularly to customers who may have thought laser’s benefits were out of reach.
The Linx SL1 delivers class-leading coding speeds thanks to the use of lightweight and ultra-fast mirrors.
It offers 20% more power than other products in its class, but at the same time uses much less laser energy in the coding process, which together with its robust stainless steel design further enhances its reliability and longevity.
The new laser coder also offers greater coding versatility than comparable models, with the ability to produce multiple lines of text and logos in one message, as well as machine readable codes such as quick response and Data Matrix codes, including DotCode for the tobacco industry.
This versatility enables the Linx SL1 to apply decorative codes capable of matching the look and feel of the packaging design.
Weighing 12.5 kg, the coder can position on line simply, fits into tight spaces, and codes in any orientation.
The LinxDraw software provides intuitive operation, secure message creation on- and off-line, as well as tamper-proof coding.
The system does not use fluids and consumables, reducing running costs, eliminating mess and spills, and removing the need to store inks and solvents.
