In addition to exhibiting a brand new machine, experts from Linx will be available to discuss the forthcoming introduction of a new EU regulation on cosmetics, involving more complex product labelling.
Visitors to stand 112 will also be the first to see the brand new Linx TJ725 case coder, which incorporates Simply Smart Technology® to offer a high resolution, digital solution for coding onto outer cases, boxes, shelf ready trays and packaging. Supplied in just a few pieces out of the box, the Linx TJ725 is simple to fit without needing a service engineer or specialist installation tools. No training is needed and the coder can be up and running within minutes.
The Linx TJ725 can cut waste and save money because it is ready to print straight away every time and with no hidden service costs, increasing production line efficiency. Linx’s innovative new Active Cartridge Care System® saves money and cuts waste by slowing the nozzle drying process, making first prints more reliable every time.
Also on stand, the Linx CJ400 continuous ink jet printer – winner of the ‘Most Innovative Processing or Packaging Machine’ category at the PPMA (Processing & Packaging Machinery Association) Group Industry Awards 2012 – promises unique portability, fast set-up and simple use. A key innovation is its Easi-Change® Service Module, which can be changed in minutes using on-screen prompts. This means that scheduled maintenance is easily completed by the operator with reduced downtime and costs. Further self-maintenance features include on-screen trouble shooting, which can solve the majority of operating issues without the need to consult manuals or engineers.
From the Linx scribing laser coder range, the Linx SL101 incorporates innovative Visicode® technology, developed to deliver a much clearer code onto cold glass to keep bottlers’ running costs low without compromising on line speed. The technology is a central component of Linx’s SL range of scribing laser coders. Linx can produce the code with less power than is normal for this type of application – as a result, the use of Visicode® can greatly contribute to a longer tube life (up to 45,000 hours – the longest on the market), higher throughput and lower running costs.
Dr Paul Doody, Marketing Director at Linx, confirms: “With the new EU regulations coming into force in July, making sure that coding and marking equipment has the right capabilities is hugely important for manufacturers. In addition to demonstrating how the Linx range can meet coding and marking requirements across the cosmetics industry, we’ll be able to give valuable advice on how our coders can help brand owners meet the changing regulations.”
