The Solaris eMark is an entry-level laser coding package, just released by Matthews Intelligent Identification in Australia.
This laser, an affordable system in one compact package, is ideal for marking various food, beverage and pharmaceutical materials.
According to Matthews' laser specialist, Matt Nichol, the eMark is perfect for the low-end user.
“Businesses that have found this useful are the small enterprises, up to medium-sized ones, who have slow to medium applications but want the benefits that laser technology offers.”
Nichol said a key benefit of lasers is that they are easy to use and easy for small to medium-sized businesses to integrate.
“Their cost benefits include not needing consumables, or ongoing maintenance.
“This new eMark can code onto a host of substrates, including coated paper and cardboard, PVC, PET, general plastics and coated metal. It’s capable of vector-quality codes in stationery and ‘on the fly’ operation, plus can reproduce all types of marks: alphanumerical texts — such as dates and times — serial numbers, bar codes, 2D codes, graphics, and so on.”
Multiple I/O signals and field-configurable beam exit direction mean that the Solaris eMark is easily integrated into new or existing production lines, and it has a simple local and remote system control via USB, network and WiFi module.
