Catalyst V8e Label / Laser Marking System

The Catalyst V8e Laser Marking System produces asset tags, barcode/QR code labels, serial tags, warning labels, instruction panels, and many other industrial labels that must withstand rough environmental conditions for many years.

It combines printing onto highly durable, pre-laminated label substrates with a built-in Digital Die-Cutting™ system for producing labels of any shape or size. As no add-on filtration or fume extraction equipment is required, this laser-marking label printer reduces the initial equipment and ongoing maintenance costs.

The Catalyst V8e - uses a patent-pending, bundle package of fiber-coupled laser diodes that laser-images onto a laser film. This laser film (CLF), developed and manufactured by Schreiner, is an unique pre-laminated material that is very resistant to environmental damage and degradation from chemicals, blowing sand and other abrasion.

During the phase-change process that makes the image appear underneath the clear, protective laminate the laser generates no smoke or fumes. Other laser marking systems use the laser to cut out the label's shape and size, but create smoke and fumes. The Catalyst V8e, by contrast, uses an X/Y knife blade plotter that cuts through the CLF material resulting in zero smoke or fumes with no need for filtration or noisy smoke extraction.
