Benefits of the F8100U UV Laser Marking Machine
The F8100U marking system is designed to deliver the kind of ultra-fine, high-speed marking required to meet industrial production quotas and comply with strict traceability requirements. Built with a 355nm UV laser, the F8100U is able to mark everything from the flexible film on the outside of tobacco packaging to painted metal surfaces and electrical components.
This diverse substrate compatibility enables the F8100U to fulfill a wide range of coding needs, including those held by the food/beverage industry, pharmaceutical developers, and aerospace/automotive manufacturers.
By investing in the F8100U, companies benefit from:
- Coding speeds up to 2,000 characters/second
- An air-cooled laser source for 24/7 uninterrupted coding
- High-contrast markings on HDPE/LDPE packaging
- Minimal maintenance needs
- Low ongoing consumable costs
- An ingress protection level that enables operation in harsh environments
- An intuitive touch-screen interface
- Intuitive line integration
F8100U UV Application Specialties
The F8100U’s diverse substrate compatibility, high-contrast marking capabilities, and non-stop operation make it the ideal marking system for demanding coding tasks. From UDI-marking and QR code printing to variable data coding and beyond, the F8100U provides users with the physical specifications required to apply required markings onto products with maximum efficiency.
Some of the F8100U’s most common applications include:/p>
- High-volume beverage bottling
- Pharmaceutical coding (including paperboard cartons, blister packs, and glass packaging)
- Personal care and cosmetic product packaging
- Rigid plastic and metal chemical packaging
- Plastic, metal, and Tetra-Pak food packaging
- Aerospace/automotive part marking
