Are you are looking for a worry-free solution to add indelible marks to plastic substrates for product identification?

Discover the U510 UV laser from Domino North America: The compact all-in-one laser coder excels on modern sustainable packaging developments such as recyclable flexible mono-material polymers including thin films.

The U510's UV light coding is achieved by a photochemical reaction in the top layer of substrates, which keeps the protective barrier of packaging intact and enables to mark white and colored products anywhere, without the need for laser-activated fields. Crisp, high contrast white codes on dark and black codes on light colored materials are the result.

Line integration is simplified by the all-in-one controller and laser unit; IP55 makes the U510 an ideal fit for wet or dusty production environments.

With the option to connect to the Domino Cloud, the U510 is designed for Industry 4.0 requirements.

The U510 UV laser at a glance

Class leading code clarity

The U510 applies pin-sharp human and machine-readable codes through a laser spot diameter of only 30µm. Codes are bright white on dark and deep black on white plastics.

The powerful laser tube (6W at 100kHz) is ideal for high-speed applications.

Ease of integration

The all-in-one controller and laser unit make production line integration easy. Fan cooling removes the need for water or factory air. The scan-head can be mounted in horizontal or vertical orientation.

Vision system integration enables automated code inspection. Easy audit trail implementation helps to achieve a compliant solution.

Uptime and reliability

Domino Cloud enables remote diagnostics and 24/7 visibility of your lasers’ performance. Domino’s SafeGuard service and support plans ensure optimized uptime and take the risk out of investment.

The U510 unit is dust and water protected (IP55) for reliable operation and a long lifetime even in challenging production environments.
