CO2 Laser Marking Machines
Fast, ink-free date and lot coding on cartons, labels, PET, glass and wood.
Also called CO2 laser coders, scribing lasers and carton laser markers.
What these machines do
CO2 lasers produce far-infrared light between 9.3 and 10.6 µm, which organic materials absorb strongly. They remove a thin layer of ink from a carton, engrave PET and glass, or change the colour of coated paper — at line speeds that match beverage and FMCG production.
An RF-excited sealed tube generates the beam, and a galvo scan head writes characters as continuous vector strokes. Choosing the wavelength matters: 10.6 µm suits paper, board, glass and wood; 9.3 µm gives a clean frosted mark on PET bottles; 10.2 µm works well on laminated cartons and coated films.
Typical options
- Choice of 9.3, 10.2 or 10.6 µm tube
- IP65 washdown head for wet filling halls
- Beam delivery extensions and 90° turning units
- Dual-head controller for two lanes

Process sequence
Trigger
A sensor detects each pack; the encoder supplies line speed.
Compose
The controller builds the message from real-time date, shift and counter data.
Scribe
The scan head writes the code while the product keeps moving.
Extract
A fume extractor captures ablated ink and dust.
Confirm
A code reader or OCR camera checks presence and legibility.
