A current ID Technology customer recently ordered additional IDT Laser coders for their packaging facility. The additional order was a result of the performance of an IDT Laser Coder originally installed during a demo several years ago. Once the original IDT Laser was placed on the line it never came out, and it continues to deliver a vector font imprint on their packages today. So, when the manufacturer of raisins made a change in their packaging line and needed new product identification machinery, they called on IDT.

The new Laser would need to overcome the challenge of imprinting a dot matrix code on two packages running two up on the packaging line. This proved to be impossible for their legacy inkjet coding system.

IDT quickly requested a meeting at the customer’s facility to again conduct an in-line demonstration of the capabilities of IDT Laser coders. Immediately following the demonstration, the customer informed IDT they had the right solution. The combination of the K-1030 Laser coders print quality, reliability, and the ability to fit within the customer’s narrow 8 inch print window out performed the competition. IDT offers a wide array of lens sizes standard with each coder, and by using the 200mm lens they were easily able to deliver the imprint within the 8-inch print window.

In addition to the performance of the IDT K-1030 Laser, the customer is able to use the Laser to print vector font or dot matrix codes, and has the flexibility to change out the Lasers should one experience downtime. Overall, the customer has increased efficiency and print quality while significantly lowering overall operating costs.
