ST. Charles, MO. - Diagraph, An ITW Company, a leading manufacturer of marking, coding, labeling and RFID systems is pleased to introduce laser coding to its wide-range line of product identification solutions.
Diagraph is the exclusive U.S. distributor for the LINX brand of Small Character Continuous Ink Jet Printers, and is very exciting about adding the new LINX SL Series (Scribing Laser) range to the product family. Diagraph Product Manager Jacki Goodall says, “By adding the LINX Laser Coders to our small character line, we have a comprehensive solution for primary product marking. So whether the application calls for ink jet or laser coding, Diagraph can provide the best-fit technology for our customers.”
The LINX SL101 and SL301, manufactured by LINX Printing Technologies, is set to provide a wide variety of industries with laser coding that offers superior results and simplicity in installation, use and ownership. With these laser coders offering respectively 10W and 30W power options, the range allows customers to choose the system that best suits their own production line requirements.
Simple to Install. Simple to Use & Operate. Simple to Own.
Installation is where the new Linx SL Laser’s flexibility and ease of use really adds value, as the models are built to fit the production line. Their range of lenses and beam delivery options mean they can be manoeuvred into tight, hard to reach spaces. And LINX’s simple plug and play philosophy makes installation into existing set-ups easy.
Operation is equally simple, thanks to an intuitive interface, in the form of a Hand-Held Control Unit, which allows users to create, change and set up codes at the touch of a button. In addition, the LinxDraw PC software enables more complex code creation, including graphics and 2D codes.
New features include greater marking versatility thanks to the use of a variety of beam delivery options for different spot sizes, product to lens distances and mark fields. Flexible standard components, side and end shooter options, and a small footprint ensure ease of integration into existing operations, even on production lines where space is at a premium. The robust stainless steel housing is sealed with standard IP54 rating, or an optional IP65 for wet environments, ensuring excellent reliability in harsh conditions, for maximum uptime.
As David Martin, Laser Product Manager at LINX Printing Technologies explains, the SL Series is designed for simplicity in ownership. “The LINX SL Laser Coders offer excellent value through increased uptime, low maintenance and no consumable costs.” He adds that, “these lasers practically take care of themselves. No shutdown or startup routines are required; we use large volume gas tubes for longer tube life and lasers operate 24/7 with little manual intervention. The LINX SL 101 and SL 301 will be a welcome addition to a wide variety of production environments.”
LINX SL Laser Coders also promise superior speed, coding quality and reliability. State-of-the-art digital signal processing ensures that the speed of the mirrors steering the beam is optimized, providing superb print quality even at high line speeds of up to 984 ft/min. Excellent coding quality is assured because the vector fonts used for code creation are optimized for speed and accuracy resulting in high quality permanent, smudge proof codes. Even complex messages are easily created as there are virtually no font or graphic restrictions. Multiple language options are available.
