UV, fiber and CO2 technology selection
Compare VORANIX laser technologies by material response, code detail, permanence and production-line conditions before selecting the equipment configuration.
Start with the application
Three laser technology families
Each product page provides the supplied model parameters, branded equipment images, application samples and engineering selection limits.
VORANIX laser technology
Fine coding for broad packaging materials, metal and selected non-metal surfaces, PPR/PVC pipe and fittings, pharmaceutical packs and food packaging.
Prioritize UV when fine visual quality, small code detail or a lower-heat material response is important. Confirm by sample testing.
Explore UV Laser Marking Machine
VORANIX laser technology
Industrial marking for metal and selected non-metal surfaces, PE/PVC pipe, high-speed cable and foil packaging applications.
Prioritize fiber for metal-focused work and production tasks that need a durable high-contrast result. Validate the actual substrate and line speed.
Explore Fiber Laser Marking Machine
VORANIX laser technology
Marking for non-metal materials and selected coated metals, including cartons, PE bottles, glass bottles and flexible packaging.
Prioritize CO2 for organic and non-metal substrates. Coatings, color, surface finish and packaging construction must be tested.

| Technology | Typical fit | Representative materials and products | Engineering decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| UV laser | Fine codes and material-sensitive applications | Packaging, PPR/PVC pipe and fittings, pharmaceutical and food packaging, metal and selected non-metals | Confirm code quality, contrast, material response and line speed with samples. |
| Fiber laser | Metal-focused and durable industrial marking | Metal parts, PE/PVC pipe, high-speed cable, foil bags and selected non-metals | Confirm wavelength response, required contrast, surface finish and product movement. |
| CO2 laser | Non-metal and selected coated-surface marking | Cartons, PE bottles, glass bottles, flexible packaging and selected coated metals | Confirm absorption, coating behavior, extraction and visible mark acceptance. |
Selection factors
Material family, additives, color, coating, shape, surface finish and available marking position.
Text, date, logo, QR or DataMatrix content, code size, contrast, permanence and inspection criteria.
Line speed, cycle time, product spacing, vibration, dust, temperature and operator access.
Conveyor, encoder, sensors, guarding, extraction, vision inspection, reject handling and data interfaces.
Scalable system architecture
Laser source, controller, workstation or mounting, trigger and the required safety protection.
Add product handling, encoder or sensors, camera, lighting, inspection logic, alarm or rejection.
Add serialization, production-line control and defined ERP, MES, WMS or traceability interfaces.
Frequently asked questions
The answer depends on the resin, additives, color, coating, code requirements and line speed. UV may be considered for fine or material-sensitive work, while fiber or CO2 may fit other constructions. Test the actual packaging before selection.
Pipe and cable material, pigment, extrusion speed, code contrast and permanence determine the technology. UV, fiber and CO2 can serve different formulations, so representative sample and line-condition testing is required.
Yes. A defined system can combine laser marking with lighting, cameras, code verification, alarms, rejection and result records after the inspection criteria are confirmed.
Provide representative good production samples, material information, required code content and size, target speed, acceptance criteria and any cleaning, abrasion or environmental requirements.
Request an engineering comparison
VORANIX can compare UV, fiber and CO2 options and recommend a standalone, print-and-verify or traceability configuration after the key application variables are reviewed.
