Laser Marking Machines – Laser Coders

Easy-to-use Industrial Laser Marking Systems for Coding on Products & Packaging

Laser marking systems are designed to generate high-quality marks on a range of materials provided the substrate, the application, and desired mark are well understood. Laser coding, etching and marking is a non-contact printing method that offers some advantages over other technologies such as including high mark resolution, high speed, permanence and fewer consumables.

Videojet’s range of laser coding machines includes CO₂ Laser Marker, Fiber Laser Marker and UV Laser sources in a variety of power outputs to address a range of substrates and applications. In addition, Our laser marking machines offers a comprehensive portfolio of laser accessories including lenses, beam turning units and protective guarding to simplify integration of the laser marking machine into your production lines and maximize its performance. Below are Videojet’s line of laser marking machines.

High Performance CO₂ Lasers

Videojet CO2 Laser Marking System - CO2 Laser Marker

With print speeds of up to 2100 characters/second, Videojet High Performance CO2 inline marking lasers are an ideal solution to address high-speed and high-volume laser coding applications in the pharmaceutical, tobacco and beverage industries

Light Duty CO₂ Lasers

With scribing laser technology and large marking fields, Light Duty CO2 laser marker provides excellent mark quality on paper, cardboard, plastics and other materials with top speeds up to 500 characters/second

Fiber Lasers

Fiber lasers built for demanding production schedules in the Parts-Marking, Food, Beverage, Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) and Pharmaceutical industries that need a laser marking system to keep pace and provide a high-level of code contrast. With marking speeds up to 2000 characters per second (with 6mm laser head)

UV Lasers

Videojet UV Laser - UV Laser Markers - UV Laser Marking

Engineered for high-density (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and synthetic fiber materials such as Tyvek, UV laser marker is ideal for pharma, medical and cosmetic manufacturers as the surface of the product remains undamaged and the laser code is resistant to abrasives, chemicals and sterilisation processes

What types of information can Laser Markers code?

Videojet laser marking machines can code a diverse range of different information and graphics onto products and packaging, including:

Alphanumeric codes
Barcodes (Linear and 2D Barcodes)
DataMatrix and QR codes
Serial numbers
Batch numbers
Expiry dates and best before dates
Logos

What different materials can be Marked with Lasers?

Videojet laser markers are designed to code onto a wide range of substrates, such as:

Metals (including stainless steel, titanium and aluminum),
Plastics (including PET and PVC),
Glass,
Wood,
Paperboard and others.

Due to its nature, Laser coding can achieve a variety of marking effects from simple color change to engraving, annealing, foaming and ablation. Which effect is achieved depends on the substrate material, laser source, wavelength, marking head and chosen lens.
