Domino’s high fiber laser diet

Automation Coding & Labeling D-Series i-Tech 15 Domino Domino Printing Sciences plc F220i fiber scribing laserFiber lasers from Domino deliver high-precision marking in the packaging sector.
The F220i fiber scribing laser (see image above) is the latest addition to Domino’s i-Tech laser family, alongside the D-Series i-Tech 15.
The F220i system features enhanced beam quality for precision marking and sharper contrast which is particularly suited to marking metals, plastics and flexible packaging. Contrast is significantly improved through its unique waveform which can be tailored to suit the substrate.
The fiber laser high pulse power makes light work of engraving metals or cutting and micro processing harder materials, yet it is able to mark more delicate substrates, particularly materials susceptible to fractures, such as those prevalent in aerospace applications. This extends its coding and marking capabilities beyond food, beverage, personal care and life sciences, into the automotive, construction and electronics sectors.
The flexible i-Tech scan head can be rotated in multiple directions and its compact size makes it very easy to integrate into production lines. The F220i is equally at home for static and on the fly marking and is able to mark unlimited lines in any direction, in a wide variety of font sizes, in both low and high production line speeds.
Additional benefits include F220i’s performance record—low maintenance, high uptime and high reliability, with a long life span of the laser—up to approximately 100,000 hours.
Also available from the CO2 laser range is the D-Series i-Tech 15. Its exceptional code quality is capable of larger mark field applications, such as coding on large web applications. It is capable of marking a field size up to 40 percent larger than other industry lasers, which would previously have required two or three lasers.
The i-Tech 15 is particularly pertinent to the food sector and can be used to code, for example, stick packs or sachets, for dried or liquid foodstuffs, prior to being wrapped.
Domino’s laser ranges—the F-Series and the D-Series i-Tech—can be managed via an intuitive remote TouchPanel or a web-based interface from any computer desktop. Featuring Domino’s simplified user interface QuickStep ensures effortless control and status reporting.
