30 W CO2 Laser Coder

The standard CO2 laser for FMCG coding.

30 W CO2 Laser Coder
How it works

Built around your product

A versatile 30 W coder for folding cartons, labels, PET, glass and rubber. The CL-30 handles multi-line codes, logos and 2D codes on lines running up to several hundred products a minute.

An RF-excited sealed tube generates the beam, and a galvo scan head writes characters as continuous vector strokes. Choosing the wavelength matters: 10.6 µm suits paper, board, glass and wood; 9.3 µm gives a clean frosted mark on PET bottles; 10.2 µm works well on laminated cartons and coated films.

Key features

  • Three wavelength options to match the substrate
  • Lens choices for small or wide marking fields
  • Beam-turning units for difficult mounting
  • Remote web interface

Machine cycle

Process sequence

Trigger

A sensor detects each pack; the encoder supplies line speed.

Compose

The controller builds the message from real-time date, shift and counter data.

Scribe

The scan head writes the code while the product keeps moving.

Extract

A fume extractor captures ablated ink and dust.

Confirm

A code reader or OCR camera checks presence and legibility.

Questions

Which wavelength should I use on PET bottles?
9.3 µm is the standard choice. It creates a shallow, frosted mark with good contrast and far less risk of thinning the bottle wall than 10.6 µm.
Can CO2 lasers mark bare metal?
Not effectively. Bare metals reflect CO2 wavelengths; use a fiber laser. CO2 does work on painted or anodised metal by removing the coating.
How long does a CO2 tube last?
Sealed RF tubes typically run for tens of thousands of hours before a regas is needed. Service interval depends on duty cycle and cooling.
