A new 60-watt CO2 laser has been launched to help all brand owners to combat counterfeiting

Markem-Imaje has launched the SmartLase C600 which is described as a fast, reliable and smart 60-watt CO2 laser printer for use across sectors.

Designed with speed and reliability at its heart, the SmartLase C600 is the fastest and most powerful CO2 laser in Markem-Imaje’s range. It delivers high-quality, chemical-free, permanent coding and indelible marking to protect against counterfeiting on a wide variety of surfaces including PET bottles, glass, labels, confectionery labels, flexible films, inked paper/cartons, and coated metals.

The SmartLase C600 has been engineered to perform to the highest standards in the most demanding packaging lines - even with the increasing complexity of 1D and 2D codes.

Virtually maintenance-free, the C600 reduces operational expenses (OPEX) through fewer line stoppages and no added costs for expensive consumables or external cooling. Meanwhile, chemical-free production helps businesses meet sustainability compliance goals.

Industry 4.0-optimised and with a variety of industrial interfaces such as Ethernet/IP, PROFINET, NGPCL and full-featured CoLOS software support, the SmartLase C600 enables advanced packaging intelligence. Once integrated, the intuitive user interface delivers an increase of up to 20% in operating efficiency, says the company.

With a complete IP55-compliant controller and printhead, the SmartLase C600 meets the very highest standard of safety per ISO 13849-1 up to Performance Level PLe.

“The new SmartLase C600 is our most advanced CO2 laser coder,” says Adam Krolak, product marketing manager at Markem-Imaje. “It is both fast and rugged while also delivering when it comes to safety, simplicity and sustainability.

“Future-proofed and Industry 4.0-ready, it can handle even the most challenging packaging lines while also cutting OPEX,” he continues. “The SmartLase C600 is perfectly placed to power up production while also bringing down costs.”
