FSL20 and FSL50 Linx Printing Technologies Ltd., St. Ives, England, has produced its first fiber lasers. Distributed by Diagraph, the lasers provide a highly flexible coding system for printing. They can provide traceability in both static operations and in-line production. The models, which bear names representing the number of watts they use, can be controlled using a PC or optional touch-screen interface. They feature a wide range of fonts, codes and graphics, which means users have many options to suit changing requirements. The devices are suitable for many sectors, including the aerospace, automotive, electronics, pharmaceutical and medical-device manufacturing industries.
What's new? The devices, which launched in the summer.
Benefits Small supply units and marking heads, making the devices easy to integrate into production, even in tight spaces. The devices can be equipped with one of four different lenses depending on how far the object is from the laser. They deliver smooth coding that can be tailored to the precise needs of each product. Also, Linx touts the devices' energy efficiency and durability, saying the laser source should last more than 100,000 hours.
