Videojet introduces compact laser coder

Videojet Technologies, a manufacturer of coding, printing and laser marking products, has launched the Videojet 3020 laser coder, aimed at simple marking and coding applications in the consumer packaged goods and industrial products markets.

The 10-Watt CO2 laser coder applies high quality codes at low to medium speeds and with minimal operating costs. The compact single-box design allows for maximum ease-of-use, simple application set-up, quick installation and uncomplicated line changes, says the company. 

‘The Videojet 3020 laser coder meets the needs of customers with simple code requirements such as serial numbers, time and date and other codes in the food, pharmaceutical, personal care and cosmetic, and industrial products industries,’ said Markus Vetter, product manager for CO2 laser systems at Videojet. ‘The new laser coder has been designed for the most cost-sensitive package coding applications that require high quality marks.’

The new Videojet 3020 codes both stationary and moving products while delivering alpha numeric text, simplified Chinese fonts, Eastern and Western European language fonts, variable data (serial numbers, date, time, shift code, GS1), ID matrix and barcodes, logos, symbols and graphical elements. The laser coder marks on various labels, cardboard and carton packages, paper, plastics, glass and wood. Depending on the lens used, mark field sizes up to 126 x 87 mm (5” x 3.4”) are available.

The 3020 can be installed and integrated either as a stand-alone system using the mobile stand or directly into the line with mounting brackets.

The standard configuration consists of the laser, scanner, lens, controller, I/O panel, built-in keypad, mechanical focus finder, product detector and the touch-control unit. A mobile floor stand, beam shields, exhaust units, encoder, mounting brackets and additional fonts are optional. The Videojet 3020 laser coder and its user interface are configurable in 19 different languages.
