PROCESSING & MACHINERY Marking for traceability
When you combine SYNRAD’s success in laser marking commercial, automotive, and residential glass with the need to add inventory and batch control traceability to consumer products, the result is this excellent bottle marking application (pictured). A SYNRAD sealed CO2
laser, FH
Series marking head, and WinMark Pro laser marking software provide the ability to mark text and even graphics on glass bottles or containers. WinMark Pro allows the user to mark the same batch or lot number on a specific number of bottles, to serialize individual bottles or batches, or to mark specific information sent from a host computer or server. This 14-character text object, 0.125 inches high, was marked in a cycle time of 0.21 seconds. Line speeds up to a maximum of 95 ft/min (29.1 m/min) are possible. 8For more information call 01295 672500, email

The advanced XS1 can accurately weigh up to 600 small products (up to 200g) per minute. The improved conveyor design with newly developed weighing cells and lightweight belt material ensure the XS1 is accurate up to ±0.015g. The weighing cell features a minimum load of 3g, max. belt speed up to 150m/min and an official verification scale interval of 0.1g in accordance with European Weights and Measures legislation. Additionally, the conveyor features a more robust design to handle higher speed applications, reducing wear to extend lifetime and streamline maintenance. 8For more information call +49 (0) 5121 933 131, email
