The N Lase can be configured to meet specific customer requirements, making it an excellent choice for any task, whether it is for delicate parts or heavy-duty components. The N Lase fiber laser range is a reliable and cost-effective solution for marking and engraving applications across a wide range of industries.
Personalisation
Laser engraving machines boast a wide range of applications, as they are capable of etching on diverse materials. They are perfect for crafting unique items like custom gifts, awards, and jewellery. Employing laser engraving as an economical method elevates the worth and calibre of products, enabling them to distinguish themselves in a competitive marketplace.
Box Printers
Box printers rank among the most adaptable printing solutions in today's market. With their ability to print on various materials and substrates, they are ideal for producing customised packaging and displays. These machines can generate large volumes of printed boxes swiftly and effortlessly, reaching print speeds of up to 150 feet per minute. Enhanced features, such as die-cutting and laminating, enable the creation of truly distinctive packaging options that set your products apart from competitors. These printers are designed to print directly on cartons, sacks, trays, and other porous surfaces. Depending on the specific model, these machines can print up to eight lines of text per printhead at speeds reaching 100 meters per minute.
Thermal Transfer Over and Ribbon Printers
Thermal Transfer Over (TTO) or Ribbon Printers utilise heat to transmit ink from a ribbon to various materials. This process involves placing a plastic ribbon, coated with ink, between the print head and the material being printed. When the print head warms the ribbon, the ink melts and fuses with the material. The durability and longevity of this ink exceed those of other printing methods, making it ideal for crafting labels, barcodes, and other top-quality printed materials that demand resistance to wear and tear. TTO printing is a trustworthy and efficient printing method that delivers exceptional, fade-proof, and smear-resistant results.
For your industry
Food & Beverage
Providing essential information on food products, such as expiration dates, ingredients, and allergens through labelling, allows consumers to make well-informed decisions about their food choices. Printing also facilitates the development of attractive packaging, and technological advancements now enable direct printing onto food items.
Manufacturing
Printing and laser marking technologies enable clear labelling of products with information such as serial numbers, and permanent marking of materials such as metal and plastic. This is essential for identification and tracking of products, ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process.
Personalisation
Used for the customisation of products with names, logos, and designs, printing and laser marking provide a unique and individualised experience for consumers. Essential in industries such as giftware, promotional items, and fashion, where personalisation is a significant part of the product offering.
Engineering
Printing and laser marking play a vital role in engineering, particularly in the manufacturing of precision parts and components. These technologies enable the production of complex designs and patterns on a range of materials, with high accuracy and consistency. Also used for traceability and quality control purposes.
