Videojet Technologies has announced the launch of a 50-Watt fiber laser marking system to address manufacturers’ requirements to laser mark on plastic packaging, metal containers, and other industrial products.
Engineered for high speed beverage, pharmaceutical and extrusion manufacturers, the new Videojet 7510 enables them to code data such as expiry information, lot and batch numbers, and other production information onto various materials.
The materials include plastics such as high-density polyethylene (HDP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP) and nylon, as well as aluminum and stainless steel metals.
Compared to the 20-Watt offering, the new 50-Watt fiber laser marking system is claimed to 65-be 95% faster, extends the capabilities of the Videojet fiber laser offering and is smaller compared to the predecessor solution.
Using the new marking system pharma companies can achieve up to 50% faster coding on blister packs. The companies can also double the speed on vials.
The 7510 is integrated with a large marking window, which is up to 498mm in length and provides enough time to engage a moving product in order to achieve the desired mark.
Videojet laser business manager Markus Vetter said: "Our new 7510 brings an optimal combination of power, spot size and choice of marking fields to deliver a significant increase in marking speed and throughput."
The company designed the new fiber laser, which is 90% more energy efficient, so as to reduce downtime, increase reliability, and run efficiently.
