MACSA ID UK has revealed its PPMA Total Show 2022 line-up will include the company’s iCON 3 small character laser coder.
Described as an ‘ideal solution’ for most packaging applications, Macsa said the the third generation iCON boasts features designed to reduce carbon footprint whilst improving coding quality.
The product can code ‘cleanly and permanently’ on food packaging, Macsa added, and is capable of marking water, wine, spirits and soft drink beverage containers produced from PET or glass. It also meets the standards of the pharmaceutical industry and will code labels, tubes and boxes.
The hand-held terminal is the operator’s point of access to all functionalities of the laser and to information related to the production line. The iCON 3 also incorporates many templates such as barcodes, expiry dates, QR codes and data matrix.
Macsa will also be displaying its idTIJ small character thermal inkjet printer and idJET large character inkjet printer, as well as a print and apply labeller, iLaserBox 450 laser marking workstation, and four versions of its Integra software for the control, management and optimisation of the production line.
The idTIJ is Macsa’s first thermal inkjet coder aimed at ‘fast, high resolution’ printing applications. The design is said to ensure ‘flexible and easy’ integration into existing production lines. Macsa added that the product offers ‘accurate and consistent’ reproduction of barcodes, alphanumeric texts, 2d data matrix codes, dates, logos and graphics on to ‘virtually any porous and non-porous surface’, including cardboard, blister packs and PE and HDPE plastics.
Macsa’s iLaserBox 450 desktop workstation is aimed at smaller marking applications and designed to be compatible with any Macsa laser technology.
The firm’s compact print and apply label systems features a modular design suited to ‘harsh’ production environments.
