Laser Marking of folding boxes
Definition of Task
- Double lined coding of folding boxes for peanuts with best before date and batch number at a high throughput speed
Special Product Specification
- The REA CO2 laser was integrated in an existing Bosch packaging machine (with a protective enclosure) and connected to its safety circuit
- The throughput is 125 boxes per minute
- The print takes place while the product is not moving and it takes only a split second per box
- Equipped with a special operation terminal, in which the printing layout is configured, operating errors are almost impossible

Advantages of the REA JET Solution
- The REA system replaces a rotary printing press which did not provide a satisfying contrast, was prone to wear and tear and was not flexible enough to handle the constant change in printing text
- The REA laser is a modern, flexible and resource-free technology that allows non-contact printing
- To avoid operation errors, a special input terminal was developed by REA
- The print layout is already configured; the operator on the assembly line only has to update the best before date and the batch number
