Domino launches Ux360i UV laser coder

Domino Printing Sciences has launched the Ux360i UV laser coder, a high-speed coding system designed for GS1-compliant 2D code marking on mono-plastics, thin films and other sustainable packaging materials without damaging barrier layers or packaging integrity.

The Ux360i uses a photochemical process that interacts only with the top layer of the substrate, enabling high-contrast codes on heat-sensitive materials at high line speeds. A new high-speed scan head and optimized coding algorithms deliver up to 80 percent faster QR code marking compared with Domino's previous-generation UV laser, while maintaining code quality and readability for traceability and serialization applications.

The system offers more than 50 standard beam delivery and orientation options, including a fully rotatable scan head, supporting installation in space-constrained or complex production environments. It integrates with ERP and MES systems via Domino Automation software and features a web-based interface aligned with Domino's x-generation platform. The Ux360i is designed to support EU GMP Annex 11 and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements and is backed by GAMP 5-trained validation expertise.

As a consumable-free system, the Ux360i also supports customers' sustainability commitments through reduced running costs, maintenance and waste.

'The Ux360i has been designed to help manufacturers move faster, code more reliably and adapt to new packaging materials with confidence,' said Christina Mallin, product manager for UV lasers at Domino.
