APPLICATION 04 · INLINE CODING

Inline UV Laser Coding

Permanent coding on moving products with material, trigger and speed synchronization

For bottles, cartons, films and continuous products, the laser, sensor, encoder and conveyor must stay synchronized while material response, code content and installation space define the final system.

Media & Evidence

Assess the part before selecting equipment

The information is organized around the part, material, target and validation conditions so the critical test items are clear.

EVIDENCEValidation records

Keep before-and-after photos, part conditions, system configuration, inspection method and unresolved boundaries so results remain reviewable.

Application Challenges

What makes this application difficult?

Equipment selection must start with the part and quality target, not laser power or a generic process name alone.

01

Conveyor synchronization

Speed changes affect spacing, energy per area and position; encoder and trigger logic must work together.

02

Packaging-material response

Plastics, films, coatings and glass differ significantly in UV and CO₂ response.

03

Installation conditions

Focus distance, product height, conveyor width, sensing, extraction and guarding define the frame.

Verification Workflow

From samples to equipment configuration

Validate feasibility before freezing tooling, motion and automation scope to reduce custom-project delivery risk.

STEP 01

Confirm actual packaging

Provide material, surface, content and allowable marking zone.

STEP 02

Record speed and takt

Test minimum, normal and maximum line speeds.

STEP 03

Plan trigger and encoder

Define detection, delay, direction, spacing and speed compensation.

STEP 04

Complete site interfaces

Check frame, focus, extraction, guarding, electrical and line controls.

Application FAQ

Questions before the project starts

How does flying coding differ from static marking?

The product moves during marking, so speed, triggering, delay and continuous-running stability must be synchronized.

Can it replace inkjet coding?

For some applications, after validating contrast, speed, material effect, regulatory requirements and total cost.

Why might a video slot be empty?

Only real processing footage is used; an empty slot is kept until verified footage is available.

Start with Your Sample

Validate your part—do not rely on a generic example

Share material, dimensions, process area, target result, quality criteria and expected output. Aogeo Laser will assess the process before defining tests and equipment.
