Linx Printing Technologies has launched the Linx UVG5 UV laser coder, which enables permanent marking on a wide range of materials, including challenging substrates such as recyclable monofilms and rigid plastics.
The Linx UVG5 UV laser has been specially developed for permanent marking on complex materials such as sensitive recyclable monofilms and rigid plastics, including HDPE, LDPE and PP. Due to the Minimising the thermal load each coder ensures the integrity of the substrate and reduces the risk of damage, making it an ideal choice for marking sensitive materials where conventional CO2- and fibre lasers can cause undesirable effects.
The encoder can up to 2,000 characters per second and offers permanent marking with high contrast. Fast and uniform coding optimises production throughput and at the same time supports Traceability with visually legible and machine-readable codes, including 2D DataMatrix, and QR, including GS1 formats.

Since when using the UVG5 laser No consumables required When the systems are fully integrated, operating costs and the need for continuous monitoring can be reduced. This contributes to a more sustainable solution, minimises downtime and maximises operator efficiency. The integrated Focus Shift technology enables the marking of products in multiple sizes on a single production line, without the need for manual adjustments. This shortens set-up times and increases the flexibility of the production line.
In addition, the Linx UVG5 laser coder is suitable for a wide range of applications thanks to its improved integration and flexibility. With various options for customisable beam guidance, it can be Seamless integration into existing production lines and can be installed in areas with limited space. The user-friendly LinxVision interface simplifies operation and reduces the likelihood of errors, allowing operators to maintain consistent production with minimal training.
