id=\"faq-question-1779778255973\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What are fibre laser coding machines used for?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Fibre laser coding machines are used to permanently mark text, barcodes, DataMatrix codes, QR codes, serial numbers, logos, and date\/batch codes onto a wide range of industrial materials \u2014 including metals, plastics, rubber, and packaging foils. They are commonly used in pharmaceutical, medical device, automotive, electronics, and FMCG industries where permanent, tamper-proof traceability codes are required.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779778358428\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What materials can a fibre laser coder mark?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Fibre laser coders such as the Linx FSL20 and FSL50 can mark on metals (including aluminium and stainless steel), rigid and flexible plastics, rubber, and packaging foils. Because the laser ablates or engraves the surface rather than using ink, the code is permanent and resistant to heat, moisture, and abrasion \u2014 making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779778379022\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between the FSL20 and FSL50 fibre laser machines?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Linx FSL20 has a nominal laser output of 20W, while the Linx FSL50 has a nominal laser output of 50W. The best choice depends on the substrate, line speed, mark size and contrast requirement. Linx can test your material to confirm the right configuration.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1779778420701\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long does a fibre laser coder last?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Linx FSL20 and FSL50 fibre laser coders are built around a laser tube with a rated lifespan of over 100,000 hours. At continuous 24\/7 operation, that equates to more than 11 years of use, significantly reducing downtime and replacement costs compared to CO\u2082 laser coders or ink-based coding systems, which require more frequent consumable changes and maintenance.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover alignfull is-light\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-ghost-white-background-color has-background-dim-100 has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-related-products\"><strong>Related Products<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-linx-features-vertical-cards\">\n\t<div class=\"vertical-cards-wrapper\">\n\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"vertical-card-container\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vertical-card-data-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/linx-csl10\/\"\n\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Featured Image -->\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"vertical-card-feature-image\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lx3132.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Title -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"vertical-card-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLinx CSL10\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vertical-card-button-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Button -->\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/linx-csl10\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"vertical-card-button is-style-btn-default\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"vertical-card-container\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vertical-card-data-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/linx-csl30\/\"\n\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Featured Image -->\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"vertical-card-feature-image\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lx3140.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Title -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"vertical-card-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLinx CSL30\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vertical-card-button-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Button -->\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/linx-csl30\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"vertical-card-button is-style-btn-default\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"vertical-card-container\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\">\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vertical-card-data-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\thref=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/linx-slhp\/\"\n\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<!-- Featured Image -->\n\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"vertical-card-feature-image\"\n\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/lx3079.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\talt=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Title -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"vertical-card-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLinx SLHP\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vertical-card-button-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Button -->\n\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\thref=\"\/en-gb\/products\/laser-coders\/linx-slhp\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\"_self\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"vertical-card-button is-style-btn-default\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\tLearn More\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FSL20 vs FSL50: Which Model is Right for Your Line?
