CO2 laser coding and marking device LINX
-> 740m/min, 50W (SL501)

Linx Printing Technologies has completed its highly praised family of high-quality scribing lasers with the launch of the new Linx SL501 50W laser, promising reduced running costs, proven reliability and flexibility in installation thanks to a standalone construction that does not require air or water for efficient operation.


The Linx SL501’s sister models in the Linx SL range – the 30W SL301 and 10W SL101 – were launched in 2007. This new addition offers a 50W option using the same powerful platform of features. With three models available, customers can choose the system that best suits their own production line requirements.


The Linx SL501 is deemed particularly beneficial for high speed applications such as bottling, with several features included to meet the demands of these challenging environments including a manoeuvrable Beam Delivery Arm and networking capability. More importantly, unlike competitor laser systerms, the Linx SL501 has been developed without the need for factory air or water for cooling purposes, ensuring that running costs and long-term cost of ownership are lower. This innovation is enhanced by an IP65 rating for washdowns, ensuring excellent reliability with low maintenance even in harsh conditions.


The lack of air or water also enables the Linx SL501 to be flexible in installation. The mobile unit comes with an articulate 1m+ Beam Delivery Arm, meaning that it can be manoeuvred into tight, hard to reach spaces. Further flexibility and convenience is afforded by LinxDraw PC software which enables full remote Ethernet access to allow operators to monitor multiple machines from a central position. The same software offers more complex code creation, including graphics and 2D codes. Simple, intuitive operation is equally clear thanks to the Linx SL501’s interface, which allows users to create, change and set up codes at the touch of a button.


“The SL range was developed to give customers complete freedom in laser coding, through ease of installation, operation and long-term ownership,” explains David Martin, Laser Product Manager at Linx. “The launch of the SL501 extends the range’s existing benefits into a powerful 50W option, and we believe that Linx can now offer an advanced, flexible and convenient solution for any laser coding application.”
