Venox CO₂L Series CO₂ Laser Marking and Coding System
The Venox CO₂L Series is a CO₂ laser system developed for high-speed, contactless, and permanent marking on organic and polymer-based materials. This content explains the wavelength advantages of CO₂ laser technology, its performance in packaging and mass-production applications, inline integration scenarios, and purchasing criteria from a technical data perspective. The goal is not only “printing a date code,” but establishing a high-speed, readable, and traceable coding infrastructure.
CO₂ Laser Technology and Industrial Application Areas
1) What problem does the CO₂L Series solve?
On cardboard, glass, wood, labels, plastic packaging, and organic surfaces, ink-based systems may lead to fading over time or create consumable costs. CO₂ laser provides contactless, consumable-free marking, reducing operational costs in the long term. It especially meets the needs for processing date, lot, and serial codes on high-speed packaging lines.
2) Who is it ideal for?
- Food and beverage manufacturers
- Packaging companies
- Cardboard and label manufacturers
- Wood and decorative product manufacturers
- Glass bottle and jar manufacturers
3) Which materials is it used on?
CO₂ laser (10.6 µm wavelength) offers high absorption on organic and polymer-based materials. Clear and fast marking can be performed on cardboard boxes, PET bottles, glass surfaces, labels, wood, and certain plastics.
4) Technical architecture
The CO₂L Series is typically offered in the 30W – 60W power range. Its galvo-based scanning system adapts to lines that require high-speed coding. Speed and field selection are configured according to production capacity.
5) Technical specifications
- Laser type: CO₂
- Wavelength: 10.6 µm
- Power range: 30W – 60W
- High-speed coding capacity
- Date, lot, serial, and barcode support
- Inline PLC integration
6) Integration on packaging lines
In conveyor systems, a trigger sensor detects the product and marking starts automatically. Date and lot information can be transferred automatically via the PLC or production software. This reduces the need for manual data entry.
7) Decision-driving block: Why the CO₂L Series?
Compared to ink-based systems, consumable costs are lower. Contactless marking minimizes surface damage. Local manufacturing and fast service support ensure operational continuity.
8) Configuration recommendations
- Cardboard packaging line: 30W + high-speed galvo
- Glass bottle coding: 40W + optimized parameters
- Wood engraving: 60W + wide-field lens
9) Cycle time approach
On lines requiring high speed, marking can be performed at the millisecond level. Cycle time depends on code length and line speed.
10) Real application example
In a scenario of marking production date and lot code on a food packaging line, a 30W CO₂ configuration can deliver clear results without reducing line speed.
Technical FAQ and Purchasing Criteria
1) Why is CO₂ preferred instead of ink?
Consumable costs decrease and the risk of fading is reduced.
2) Can you get a clear result on PET bottles?
With the right parameters, high-contrast marking can be achieved.
3) Does it cause cracking on glass surfaces?
With parameter optimization, surface damage is minimized.
4) Can it keep up with inline speed?
Thanks to the galvo system, it can operate at high speed.
5) Is PLC integration possible?
Yes, digital triggering and data transfer are supported.
6) Can deep engraving be done?
Engraving is possible on organic surfaces.
7) What is the maintenance requirement?
Periodic optical inspection is recommended.
8) Is 60W always necessary?
Power selection should be made according to the application.
9) Is it CE compliant?
It is configured according to safety and compliance standards.
10) How long does sample testing take?
Typically, testing and a report are provided within 24–48 hours.
