Domino launches laser coder for beverage packaging

Domino Printing Sciences has expanded its laser coding portfolio with the launch of the Dx1060i CO2 Laser Coder, a new 100-watt system designed to help beverage manufacturers maintain smooth production while handling more complex coding requirements on plastics, glass and other challenging substrates.

Engineered for high-speed environments, the Dx1060i delivers sharp, durable codes across a range of packaging materials. Complex codes, including GS1-compliant 2D formats, require higher power to ensure consistent legibility at speed. The enhanced performance of the Dx1060i laser coder enables manufacturers to code up to 90,000 bottles per hour, maintaining clarity even on reflective or complex surfaces.

The Dx1060i offers over 50 beam delivery options and a 360-degree rotatable scanhead for easy integration into existing production lines. It easily connects to existing back-end production and business systems, avoiding integration delays. Optional services such as Domino Cloud Interface, Coding Automation, R-Series vision control and SafeGuard support, including AR-enabled remote assistance, give operators additional insight and help minimize downtime.

'The Dx1060i gives our customers the power and flexibility they need to keep beverage production running efficiently. It supports evolving international standards, helps reduce waste and is built to meet future regulatory requirements, including GS1 and 21CFR Part11 compliance,' Frauke Schroeder, senior product manager for laser at Domino, commented.

The Dx1060i also suits niche applications, from GS1-compliant 2D codes and serialization to detailed markings on wine corks or decorative wood surfaces. Its chemical-free, energy-efficient design supports sustainability targets while maintaining high-quality results at speed.
