Across every kind of industry and every kind of production line, CO2 laser technology is already being used to code and mark every kind of surface – from glass to plastic to coated metals.

Laser is one of the most reliable, versatile and cost-efficient coding and marking methods available. This makes it ideal for high print volumes – such as food, drink and pharmaceutical products – where it creates easy traceability.

Since its first coder rolled off the line in 1987, Linx has continued to set the standard with innovative technologies that enable you to achieve more. With three core products and over 100 possible configurations to choose from, you can be sure to find a Linx laser coder that meets your needs.

Linx CSL30

30W CO2 Laser

The intuitive colour touch screen user interface of the Linx CSL30 makes it easy to create, update and revise codes at the touch of a button – minimising the risk of operator errors – and the proven, stable software platform keeps you in control, 24/7.

The large touch screen display provides operators immediate feedback and ‘at a glance’ laser status on the production line. No complex menus or hard to understand work flows eliminate potential user errors and allow smooth, error-free operation.

Each laser comes with an array of features that increase uptime and extend equipment life. Our large volume gas tubes can last in excess of 45,000* hours. Digital galvos with the fastest response time and greatest control make Linx lasers the fastest in their class. A huge array of different lenses and other options maximise versatility.

Features
  • 30W laser.
  • Mid-power version for faster and more demanding applications, up to 50% faster then previous models.
  • Our most versatile laser coder, with a wide range of I/O options.
  • IP65-rated stainless steel enclosure (optional).
