Hitachi LM-C300 Series Laser Coders

Hitachi's advanced CO2 laser engraving machines are setting new benchmarks in quality, durability, and sustainability. Built with premium materials for superior coding performance across different materials, the Hitachi LM-C300 Series offers versatile options with output power ranging from 10W to 30W and wavelengths of 9.3μm, 10.2μm, and 10.6μm. These energy-efficient laser markers are ideal for coding on diverse packaging substrates like paper, cardboard, glass, and plastics.

Primary Features

Our new, icon-based 10" full-color touch screen provides easy navigation. The WYSIWYG design provides stress-free operation by displaying marking data and settings immediately. The LM Series CO2-based laser markers can also be operated with standard PC equipment.

Low-power air-cooled laser systems are the only compact laser technologies demanding less floor space and providing ease of mechanical integration into complex packaging lines. The new cascading cover design and enclosed optical box protect electronics and optics from dust and lead to a high level of reliability of electronics and optics.

The innovative air flow helps to keep the focal lens in a clean condition (when installed at 90 deg.). The overpressure helps keep any kind of particulate off the lens assembly and avoids contamination and any reduction of laser output power. This helps to reduce operating costs, minimizes maintenance, and increases print quality.

The electromechanical shutter effectively blocks the laser beam and prevents optical radiation from being emitted. The reliable design ensures high safety performance.

Three-color laser status indicator is adopted on the head of the CO2 laser marker. Using this indicator, it is possible to monitor the status of the laser system at a single glance.
