We have announced the launch of the fLASER range of specialist film and foil coding lasers. These lasers are used to apply variable information such as lot codes and best before dates to flexible packaging and other foil, film and plastic coated packaging without damaging it. They are excellent cost-effective and high quality alternatives to the other technologies typically used today.
fLASER systems have been developed by Macsa to respond to the need of companies to reduce coding costs, to reduce the amount of plastic waste which they produce and to enable continuous operation. They deliver consistent, permanent, high quality codes without interruption even in harsh and dusty environments.
By contrast thermal transfer overprinters use thermal transfer printers. Such systems are wasteful, they need frequent attention and maintenance, and print quality deteriorates over time.
The laser unit in an fLASER system is a Macsa F series fiber laser. There is a powerful on-board computer which enables multiple messages to be stored within the laser system. Such messages can be selected directly from the laser controller without the need for a network or PC connection. Messages may furthermore be created and edited using Marca message creation and laser control software.
