Videojet Technologies has expanded its range of CO2 laser marking systems with the Videojet 3330 30 watt and the Videojet 3130 10 watt lasers. "Designed to provide enhanced code quality across a range of marking speeds for an array of substrates, the 3310 and 3130 lasers mark simple and complex codes while providing easy integration for virtually any application," said a company spokesperson. "When speed is priority, manufacturers can utilize the dot font mode in both the 3130 and 3330 to mark up to 30% faster than vector fonts, enabling print speeds up to 150,000 products per hour."
Videojet offers over 20,000 standard configurations within its CO2 laser marking line, including 21 mark window options and three laser wavelengths. "We know from experience that line integration in certain cartoner and labeler applications in the pharmaceutical, beverage and food industries is challenging due to space restrictions," said Markus Vetter, Laser Business Unit Manager at Videojet Technologies. "The available configurations give Videojet the flexibility to match the physical integration needs of the packaging line, and the mark window options help ensure we can deliver the marking performance our customers need."
The 3330 and 3130 may be used for serialized coding applications in the pharmaceutical, tobacco, cosmetics and other industries. "With the recent passage of United States Drug Quality and Security Act, the European Union Falsified Medicines Directive and similar legislation in Brazil and elsewhere, our customers are looking for high quality alphanumeric and datamatrix marking," said Vetter. "The high resolution marking heads on the 3330 and 3130, when supported with good material handling and proper line integration, can deliver consistently high quality datamatrix codes."
According to the company, the laser systems have an air cooled laser source plus optimized power settings designed to reduce heat and provide high reliability by extending the life expectancy of the laser source up to 45,000 hours.
Complementing the 3330 and 3130, Videojet offers a range of fume extraction systems and filter options that can be tailored for the given application, helping to remove smoke and particulate debris and improve uptime by keeping the laser lens clean.
