They are the leading manufacturer of technologically advanced gas detection equipment and OEM PID Gas sensors. Just like Linx, ION Science work with customers and global distributors so it is crucial we work in a high-performance manner and produce high quality outcomes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>ION Science have two Linx CSL30 laser coding machines installed with another on order. These machines are providing a pioneering gas sensing technology company with an advanced and reliable coding and marking solution to support their growth. These printers are designed for high-speed marking for complex codes, perfect for ION\u2019s purpose. Linx CO2 laser coders offer many benefits with another being high reliability from the machine needing minimal consumables and efficient use of laser power to mark permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\">The Problem:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In light of significant company growth and an increase in demand for their lamps, ION Science realised the need to increase the speed of their production line for etching onto their glass lamps found within their Sensors and Instrumentation for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The previous process to laser onto the lamps was slow and involved manually inserting the&nbsp;<a href=\"\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/applications\/glass\/\"><strong>glass<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/a>lamp into place, lasering, removing, and replacing it with the next lamp, then repeating the process. ION Science expressed productivity concerns to Linx requesting a more efficient technique.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\">The Solution:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The idea of a turntable to fix the problem was explored and implemented, allowing multiple glass lamps to be placed on the table and laser coded at 4-5 times the rate of the previous method. Linx lasers have versatile beam delivery options for easy integration into a production line making it effortless for ION Science to implement. A bespoke turntable and laser safeguarding were constructed to fit ION\u2019s production line allowing their output to increase significantly.&nbsp;<a href=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/\"><strong>Linx lasers<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;are the future of marking offering clean codes, low maintenance, and low running costs. Our laser developers are always in search of improvement, how revolutionary can we get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This success story resulted in another laser being ordered. Linx only offer the best customer service and expert advice to all their customers, no matter how big or small the problem may be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\">New and improved turn table lasering 4 products at a time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-plain has-medium-font-size is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-jet-grey-color has-text-color has-medium-font-size\"><em>\u201cThe turntable solution provided by Linx has significantly transformed the production of etching onto our photoionisation detection (PID) lamps which has dramatically enhanced our productivity and provided us with notable cost savings.
