TTO UV Laser Coder Machine 5W & 10W
The IPS-LUV5W T laser coding system designed as a replacement for thermal transfer overprinters (TTO), it offers clear, permanent marking on packaging films without using ink or ribbons. Unlike traditional TTO printers, it marks through the surface into the next layer with minimal heat, ensuring no damage to the material. With mark speed up to 12000mm/s and can print more complex content and patterns in the same time.
Eco-Friendly & Cost-Saving
No consumables like ink or ribbons, reducing waste and production costs.
High-Quality, Permanent Marking
Crisp, durable codes that won't fade or peel.
Easy Integration
Compact design fits seamlessly into various packaging machines. Perfect for industries needing reliable, high-precision coding with zero waste and low maintenance.
No need consumables - inks, ribbons, or regular parts for replacement, which to save production cost. And the marking is permanent which will not fade compare to ink and ribbon.
Eliminates the downtime required to replace ink ribbons and clean heads with conventional thermal TTO printers, easy to operate, improve much effectiveness of production.
The laser heads are designed to be compact for easy installation in place of existing thermal printers, which can be attached to a variety of packaging machines including horizontal pillow-type packaging machines, vertical pillow-type packaging machines, bag feeding machines, and stick packaging machines.

UV laser marking is a kind of cold laser technology. The High-energy molecules of ultraviolet photons can directly separate molecules from metal or non-metallic materials which need to be processed, then this separation causes the molecules to be separated from the material so that the way they work does not produce any heat. This is very different from traditional fiber and carbon dioxide laser marking machines.
Differences from Other Laser Marking Machines
The wavelength of UV laser is only 355 nm, while fiber is 1064 nm and CO2 is 10.64 μm. When the wavelength is shorter, the laser beam is smaller and more precise, and the Heat-affected zone formed during processing is smaller also, which makes the marking accurate and fine.
CO2 laser marking machine and fiber laser marking machine are physical marking methods, but UV laser marking machine is a chemical processing method, mainly by photochemical reaction. The difference is that the physical processing method is mainly applied to the surface of the material, while by chemical processing method, the laser can proceed deep inside of the material.
Fiber laser marking machine is mainly used in metal material. Due to the heat generated by its beam, it is not suitable for marking high-precision special materials. UV laser marking machine is particularly suitable for high-end market which need ultra-fine processing, such as marking of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other packages by polymers materials.
Applications
Cosmetics, mobile phones, pharmaceuticals, food packaging, metal, glass, plastic, polymer materials, construction materials, special ABS material, flexible PCB boards, plastic buttons, silicon wafer micropores, electronic component, communications equipment, LCD glass.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a UV laser coder replace traditional thermal transfer overprinters (TTO)?
Traditional TTO printers require consumables like ribbons and ink to make marks on films, which generates ongoing costs and downtime for replacement. The TTO-type UV laser coder eliminates these consumables by using cold laser technology to mark packaging films directly, ensuring permanent codes with zero ink or ribbon waste.
Will the UV laser damage my thin packaging films?
No. The UV laser coder operates on a 355nm wavelength ("cold laser" marking), which achieves chemical photochemical reactions rather than high-thermal melting. It marks the inner layer of the material with minimal heat, ensuring the surface layer of the packaging film remains undamaged.
What types of packaging machines can this laser coder integrate with?
Due to its highly compact design, the laser coding head can be easily integrated into a wide range of packaging equipment, including horizontal pillow-type packaging machines, vertical pillow-type packaging machines, bag feeding systems, and stick packaging machines.
What is the advantage of a 355nm UV laser over CO2 or fiber lasers?
A 355nm UV laser has a much shorter wavelength, which results in a smaller and more precise laser beam spot. The heat-affected zone is negligible compared to CO2 (10.64µm) and Fiber (1064nm) lasers. This makes the UV laser exceptionally suited for high-precision, non-destructive, and chemical marking applications.
What code formats and fonts does the IPS-LUV5W T support?
The machine supports standard image formats like BMP, DXF, HPGL, JPEG, and PLT. It can print 1D/2D barcodes (such as CODE39, CODE128, QR, DM codes) and characters in multiple languages, including Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Korean, Russian, and Arabic numerals.
