Challenge
A carbonated soft drink company needed to apply codes to caps in a "difficult" color. Its existing equipment could not achieve the result because of the cap customer’s high standards.
Implementation
- The customer provided drawings and product samples requiring alphanumeric coding so we could test our equipment.
- Using CSS UV laser marking equipment, we produced a pilot batch. These samples were sent to the customer, who verified compliance with its own customer’s requirements and standards. After that, the customer decided to install a UV marking line.
- The finished UV marking line includes laser marking, vision inspection, counting, and packaging systems.
- The line was assembled, tested, and accepted by the customer at the CSS production site. It was then shipped to Russia and fully installed at the customer’s plant.
Result
- The UV marking line for finished caps fully meets all readability and recognition requirements.
- A single laser head delivers marking performance of 800 to 1,000 units per minute.
- Line operators at the plant were trained to run the system and independently adjust all marking parameters.
- We provide regular service and technical support for the line.
Project implementation period: 6 weeks.
