Linx - Data Coder

• Applying batch codes, date codes, and other variable data to product packaging on production lines.
• Marking individual products with traceability information in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
• Printing logos, barcodes, and serial numbers onto various substrates such as plastic, glass, metal, and cardboard.
• Integrating into existing conveyor systems for automated product identification and tracking.
• Labelling products in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) environments requiring high-speed coding.

Typical print speed

Commonly ranges from 1 to 6 metres per second, depending on print resolution and line speed.

Print height

Typically between 1.8mm and 20mm for continuous inkjet (CIJ) coders, with larger options for case coders.

Power supply

Typically single-phase 230V AC, 50Hz, with power consumption commonly around 100-200W.

Connectivity

Often includes Ethernet, USB, and serial ports (RS232) for integration and data transfer.

Ink type

Units of this type commonly use solvent-based inks for various substrates, with pigment and food-grade options available.

Operating temperature

Typically designed for industrial environments, commonly operating between 5°C and 45°C.

Laboratory labelling and printing systems are valued for precision, consistency and compliance support in regulated environments. Buyers typically prioritise reliability, print quality and compatibility with existing laboratory workflows. When purchasing used equipment, condition of print heads, calibration history and maintenance records warrant careful inspection. Industry sentiment favours systems offering flexibility across label sizes and formats. Common strengths include durability, straightforward operation and good availability of replacement consumables. Integration capability with laboratory information management systems is increasingly important to buyers.
