Overview of the Domino Dx-Series

The Domino Dx-Series is a CO2 laser coder developed for coding and marking applications in industrial production lines. Domino has more than 30 years of experience in developing laser coding systems, with a team of laser specialists who help determine suitable settings for each application.

This series uses an intelligent printhead, advanced digital scanhead technology, and improved printing algorithms to increase speed while maintaining sharp code quality. It is suitable for manufacturers that need to print production dates, expiration dates, lot numbers, QR codes, and traceability information on packaging.

Key Features for Speed, Code Quality, and Supported Materials

The Dx-Series can increase printing speed by up to 30% compared with the Domino D-Series, depending on the actual application. It is suitable for production lines that require high-quality, easy-to-read codes and continuous production rates.

Supported materials and packaging include:

• Glass, glass bottles, and safety glass
• PET plastic and plastic blister packaging
• Film, stick packs, and flexible packaging
• Corrugated cardboard, paper labels, and paper-based wrappers
• Coated metal, cork, and sustainable packaging materials

For paper labels on glass bottles, marking speed examples of 70,000–90,000 bottles per hour are mentioned, making it suitable for high-speed beverage lines that require consistent code quality.

Durability and Installation in Production Lines

The Dx-Series is designed to support production environments with dust, humidity, or sticky residues. The printhead has standard IP54 / IP65 options, while the controller has an IP55 rating. It can also operate at an ambient temperature of 45°C at a 100% duty cycle, making it suitable for factories that run continuously in hot environments.

For installation, the system offers more than 50 standard beam delivery configurations, a 360-degree rotatable scan head, and customization options for specialized production lines. These include scan heads for large marking areas and wide web applications, as well as angled conduit options for the printhead and controller to make installation and maintenance more convenient.

Operation is controlled through a web-based interface that supports devices with standard browsers. It also shares an interface with the Domino x-generation product range. Touch panel options and an LED strip on the printhead are available to show the laser operating status immediately.

Support for QR Codes Powered by GS1 and Traceability

The Dx-Series supports GS1 standards and the transition from linear barcodes to 2D QR codes that can contain more information within a single code. It is suitable for factories that need to improve traceability, anti-counterfeiting, and information communication across the supply chain.

Benefits of QR Codes powered by GS1 can be grouped by user:

• Manufacturers: Supports serialisation, traceability, product recall, and logistics
• Retailers: Supports stock control and loyalty schemes
• Consumers: Provides access to product information such as allergen information, promotions, and reviews

This approach allows a single code to connect information from the factory to the consumer, while helping reduce label space and support modern packaging.

Support Services and Safety

Domino provides support services from material testing in the Laser Lab, installation, training, and lifetime system support, including connectivity with ERP, WMS, and MES systems to align with actual production processes.

For safety, the system supports application-specific laser guarding design, laser safety training courses, access prevention systems during machine operation, and DPX Fume Extraction systems for filtering fumes and particles from the printing process.

In addition, SafeGuard services are available for on-site support and remote support via AR, along with R-Series Vision Control for automatic code inspection, automation systems for managing job changeovers, and cloud-based monitoring for tracking production data and machine status alerts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What types of applications is the Domino Dx-Series suitable for?
A1: It is suitable for production lines that need to print dates, lot numbers, QR codes, or traceability information on various materials such as glass, PET, film, paper, labels, and sustainable packaging.

Q2: Is this model suitable for factories with dust or humidity?
A2: It is suitable for consideration because it has standard IP54 / IP65 printhead options and an IP55 controller, while also supporting operation at an ambient temperature of 45°C at a 100% duty cycle.

Q3: Does it support QR Codes powered by GS1?
A3: Yes. It supports QR Codes powered by GS1, helping combine information for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers into a single code, such as traceability, stock control, allergen information, and promotions.

Q4: What information should be prepared before making an inquiry?
A4: The material type, production line speed, marking area size, code format, connection systems, and environment conditions should be prepared, such as dust, humidity, temperature, or installation space.
