MACSA APPLICATION

Marking on fruit is essential to ensure product traceability, detect incidents, and identify the product’s origin data. Identification is normally carried out by sticking adhesive labels directly onto the fruit or its packaging, with the risk of the labels becoming unstuck or unreadable before they even reach the consumer's home.However, with society and businesses becoming increasingly focused on sustainability, the most recommended system for this type of application is undoubtedly laser technology. Known in the industry as the “natural mark”, the philosophy of this new direct product coding originates from consumers' interest in returning to bulk or unit-based products, aiming at minimizing packaging while preserving the environment.

MACSA SOLUTION

In this case, we have utilised laser technology to mark fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, pears, and apples. This is a permanent marking process that doesn't affect the fruit's properties or pose any harm to the consumer's health. The laser removes a micrometric layer from the fruit's skin, achieving high-quality visibility and legibility in the marking, while leaving the edible part of the fruit intact. marcaje láser en frutas Additionally, laser technology enables us to mark very thin organic material, such as pear, apple, and cucumber skin, with high-definition markings. You can mark the data that best suits your needs, such as the expiry date, batch number, text, logos, or images. This not only enhances traceability but also creates a more sustainable brand image, which is environmentally friendly and respects people's health. laser marking on fruit

Commitment to the customer is becoming increasingly stronger in B2C companies and brands that reach the end consumer directly. Through a QR code on the packaging you can find out who is consuming your product, participating in contests or, in the very near future, who correctly recycles the material in said packaging.Marcaje láser etiquetas cervezasThe beverage market is one in which customer engagement is gaining more strength and where more and more QR codes are marked on containers, even going so far as to change the design of the label to reserve space for this marking.Marcaje láser etiquetas cervezasIn this case, we have marked QR codes with a CO2 laser on labels of different colors. The laser reaction on the paper strips the paint from the paper, generating a high-quality and legible marking. With a 100x100 lens and a minimum power of 60W, we have achieved high-resolution QR code markings (expiration dates and lot numbers), generated at the high speed required by these production lines. The background color of the label enables the viewer to easily read the QR code and marking. For this reason, there is the possibility of creating an exclusive black reserve for marking and coding.Etiquetado cervezas

Every time you go to the supermarket to buy some type of "snack" you notice the number of different markings that the packaging contains. Each with a particular characteristic, every marking is adapted to its production speed, pigment colour and will even directly depend on the interior content among others.Today's Application News focuses on how these markings can be carried out and how we adapt what we base the marking parameters on by using the example of a marking made dynamically on the cookie "snack" packaging.Laser coding on food film

In this type of packaging, it is common to mark a manufacturing date and an expiration date that are easy to read by the consumer when the information is required. To do this, the design of the product must be taken into account so that the marking does not interfere with the visual composition of the packaging.The most suitable laser for today's application is a Macsa id D-5005 Green of 5W power, with a 100x100mm lens. As shown in the photos, it is capable of obtaining the right contrast so as not to damage the container (barrier material) even on irregular surfaces (variable focal length) and with different pigment colours.Laser coding on food film

Making an elegant and attractive product for the customer is currently essential, and precisely the marking on wood must be aesthetic and detailed. Therefore, we present an Applications News article where the possible reactions and results of the range of lasers with CO2 technology on wood.Laser marking and engraving of a logo on wood

Reaching this level of finishes is possible thanks to Macsa ID's CO2 range technologies, but the type of application to be carried out must be considered to decide the power of the laser. Accordingly, the greater the power, the greater the speed. As a result, accurate marking can be achieved. The lens will also be considered, which will directly depend on the marking area.

Our range of SPA 2 lasers is the one that has the greatest capacity to adapt to each project. Thanks to the possibility of choosing not only the lens, but also multiple powers, depends on the marking area. If the area to be marked is small, and the marking does not require very high speeds, we can opt for our range of iCON Series lasers, which are compact and easy to adapt to most production lines due to their small size.

Laser marking and engraving of a logo on woodAn elegant deep finish was sought after in these stoppers. This was successfully achieved thanks to our SPA HPD 30W laser, which achieves an engraving on the material that allows the marked logo to stand out. If, on the other hand, a marking without engraving was required, we would apply less power so that the marking would remain superficial.Laser marking and engraving of a logo on wood

In this Application News, Laser Marking on Thermoplastic Polyolefin,  we are in the process of marking the central trim cover of a steering wheel, the surface to be marked is Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO), a plastic compound widely used in the automotive sector, with very good resistance and durability for interior finishes. With laser marking, in this case, it gives very good contrast results that allow us to eliminate ink markings or labeling.Laser Marking on Thermoplastic PolyolefinThere are two totally different types of marking that were carried out. The first focused on the traceability of the part, using a QR code, a very common and effective marking today in the automotive world that allows a lot of information to be encoded in small spaces. The second "SRS AIRBAG" is an alternative that we propose to supplant injection molding. Since laser marking has the adaptability to be used to develop a new product, it is a marking that we categorize as aesthetic as it will be one more design element that will always be visible once the piece is placed.Laser Marking on Thermoplastic PolyolefinKnowing the material in regards to its texture and notably its black color, the best option was the F-9020 20W fiber laser from Macsa ID. There is a very good contrast and is clearly legible regarding the QR code (placed on a smooth side), as well as the text (located on the rough finish of the piece categorized as aesthetic).

Recycling is an increasingly present matter in society, and polymer recycling is not exempt from the trend, despite not being easy due to the variety and composition of the materials. Laser marking on recycled polymer pipe saves consumable costs since it is done directly on the substrate.

Marking and coding guarantees product traceability in the construction market. In this particular case, it is an established requirement that pipes must be marked according to the manufacturing material used and its main use.

The DPSS laser, in this case, the NANO D-6006 DUO from Macsa id, with a 1064 nm wavelength, allows to make a laser marking on the recycled polymer pipe of high contrast and visibility. The chemical reaction of the DPSS laser on the polymer enhances the logo marking on different coloured backgrounds. On the other hand, if CO2 had been used the reaction would be totally thermal causing the plastic to melt and generating a small relief.

  • Lens: 100 x 100
  • Market: Building Material
  • Application: Marking
  • Product: Pipe joints
  • Material: Recycled Polymer
