Our U510 laser is ideally suited for creating indelible, highly precise coding onto today’s plastic packaging materials. The UV laser can code directly onto white and coloured substrates without the need for laser activated fields. Designed for Industry 4.0 requirements the compact all-in-one U510 integrates easily into modern production lines.
The U510 UV laser excels on modern, sustainable packaging developments such as recyclable flexible mono-material
polymers, including thin films.
Keeping the protective barrier intact: coding is achieved by a photochemical reaction in the very top layer of the packaging material without causing any damage. The U510 laser pulse has an extremely short wavelength and high absorption rate which minimises thermal stress and soot particle build. Even very thin, sensitive packaging films can be coded safely.
Coding white and coloured plastics: the laser pulse reacts with titanium dioxide (TiO2) to achieve highly contrasting codes. TiO2 is contained in many plastics, so the laser can code anywhere on these products without the need for additives or laser activated fields on many substrates.
