UV (DIKAI / Squid Ink)

A UV Laser Coding System is a high-precision, non-contact marking solution designed for “cold marking.” It operates at a 355nm wavelength, allowing it to mark delicate substrates (like thin plastics, glass, and medical-grade synthetics) without thermal damage. It produces high-contrast, permanent codes that are ideal for industries with zero tolerance for material degradation.

Key Features & Design

  • 355nm Short Wavelength: The “cold” beam allows for high absorption on materials that normally reflect or melt under standard CO2 or Fiber lasers.

  • Ultra-Fine Spot Size: Designed for high-resolution 2D codes, micro-text, and intricate logos on very small surface areas.

  • Compact Internal Cooling: Many modern designs feature high-performance air cooling or closed-loop water systems to maintain stability during 24/7 operation.

  • Flexible Integration: Modular scanning heads and adjustable mounting stands allow the unit to fit into tight spaces on existing high-speed bottling or blister-pack lines.

Operational Efficiency

  • High-Speed Performance: Capable of keeping pace with high-volume production lines (often exceeding 200–500 products per minute depending on code complexity).

  • Low Maintenance: Unlike Inkjet (CIJ) printers, there are no nozzles to clog and no filters to change regularly.

  • Material Versatility: A single system can often handle HDPE, LDPE, clear glass, and various synthetic laminates without needing different ink types.

  • Software Integration: Usually features “Code Assurance” software to prevent human error and ensure serialized data is applied accurately for track-and-trace compliance.

Cost Benefits

  • Zero Consumables: No ongoing costs for inks, ribbons, or solvents.
  • Uptime Maximation: Elimination of “ink-dry” downtime and messy cleanup cycles.
  • No Waste: Reduces environmental disposal costs associated with hazardous ink waste.
  • Permanent Coding: Prevents costly product recalls due to smeared or illegible batch codes.
