Laser Marks Pills at High Speeds

Lasers are used in the marking of unique identification (e.g., text, logos, graphics, and barcodes) on pharmaceutical packaging and for direct pill marking. Laser-marking of pills is simple and high speed, without the solvents needed for traditional pill marking methods. The LMCP-100 Extreme Laser from Photoscribe Technologies micro-marks pills at speeds exceeding 410,000 pills per hour. The laser has the ability to serialize and change a mark on the fly during the marking process. The speed and flexibility allow the user to change marks based on batch number or even down to the single pill level.
