Linx FSL20 & FSL50

Fibre laser technology for permanent coding on a wide range of materials

Permanently mark on a wide range of materials, including metal, rubber, plastic, and packaging foils. Very fine spot size creates excellent quality codes and makes Linx Fibre lasers ideal for marking very small components, or large amounts of information onto small areas. Text, machine readable codes, graphics and logos are all marked with extreme clarity for traceability; ideal for pharmaceutical, medical devices, automotive and electronics industries, as well as FMCG packaging.
