Laser coding has come a long way, baby. This source of clean, precise, permanent package coding has now added the flexibility of dot matrix technology, giving food and beverage processors a '90s coding system that incorporates the best of both concepts.
Dot matrix laser coders offer the highest level of laser automation and flexibility. They do not require masks (stencils) for imaging code information because marks are produced by a series of computer-controlled infrared laser dots. Because these new systems are "maskless" there are few custom installation constraints. A dot matrix laser coder can be easily placed on a production line with little if any ...
