3640 60W CO2 laser targeted at pharmaceutical, tobacco, and beverage markets
Videojet Technologies has expanded its range of CO2 laser marking systems with the Videojet 3640 60W. Videojet is targeting high-quality codes for the pharmaceutical, tobacco, and high-speed beverage markets in particular. The Videojet 3640 CO2 laser solution offers enhanced speeds in data processing and communication, helping customers code products on the production line faster. The Videojet 3640 can process over 1,000 variable codes/minute with dot matrix and four lines of text in the tobacco industry, with no noticeable lag. Manufacturers can also start coding their products without waiting for data buffering to complete, saving time and money, said Videojet. Pharmaceutical manufacturers can benefit from the Videojet 3640 laser by marking up to 600 GS1 codes and five lines of text/minute, while beverage manufacturers have the ability to mark over 80,000 bottles/hour with up to three lines of text, according to the manufacturer. “We know that manufacturers’ production demands are growing and they require high-performance lasers to meet their increasing production speeds,” said Sascha Ammesdoerfer, laser business unit manager at Videojet Technologies. “The improved speed and coverage capabilities of the new Videojet 3640 CO2 laser mean they can now mark more text per product, offering customers a high quality CO2 laser marking solution that they have come to expect from Videojet.” The new Videojet 3640 laser offers the widest marking field in the industry, compared with other leading 60W lasers on the market, increasing throughput and productivity for manufacturers, claims Videojet. It can cover up to 600mm marking field width, allowing certain wide web applications to be addressed with the least amount of lasers, freeing up both space and capital to invest elsewhere. “Videojet offers this high-performance laser to meet the highest production speeds in a number of markets, including pharmaceutical, tobacco and high-speed beverage,” said Ammesdoerfer. “The vast range of CO2 laser marking systems we offer delivers the marking performance customers need to help them achieve their production goals.”
