SPA2 iLumiFlex — Stop Stopping. Start Saving
Meet SPA2 iLumiFlex
The revolutionary UV laser technology that replaces TTO printers. From ribbon to UV laser, redefine coding for flexible packaging with unbeatable total cost of ownership (TCO). Enjoy non‑stop productivity, permanent high‑contrast codes, and zero consumables in the compact footprint of a standard TTO.
Smart • Sustainable • Unstoppable
Why iLumiFlex
- Zero consumables: Eliminates ink ribbons, thermal head replacements, and air‑related costs — delivering significant savings and unbeatable TCO.
- Continuous production: No stoppages for ribbon changes or head cleaning. Keep lines running with clean, permanent marking.
- 100% sustainable: No ribbon waste. UV marking acts on the film’s marking layer to change colour without damaging the substrate and supports PPWR‑compliant production.
- Permanent, high‑contrast codes: Non‑contact marking resistant to oil, powder, water, alcohol, ice, and heat sterilisation.
- Compact TTO footprint: Fully compatible with standard TTO brackets. Replace traditional printers in minutes — no mount modifications required.
Built for Flexible Packaging Lines
Integrates wherever TTO is traditionally used, delivering permanent marks on sensitive films, mono‑materials, and D4R films.
Applications: Pillow‑type (HFFS/VFFS)
• Rotary bag feeding • Stick‑pack (multi‑strand) • Mono‑materials & sustainable films
Performance You Can Measure
- High‑speed marking with precise 1.6 µm resolution across a generous 100 × 100 mm field.
- ESSENTIAL (dynamic): 1 text line of 3 mm — up to 350 m/min; 2 text lines of 3 mm — up to 200 m/min
- ESSENTIAL (static): 1 text line of 3 mm — ~15 ms; 2 text lines of 3 mm — ~30 ms
- EXTENDED (dynamic): 1 text line 3 mm + QR 8×8 — ~60 m/min; 2 text lines 3 mm + QR 8×8 — ~50 m/min
- EXTENDED (static): 1 text line 3 mm + QR 8×8 — ~110 ms; 2 text lines 3 mm + QR 8×8 — ~120 ms
- ADVANCED (dynamic): 5 text lines of 4 mm + QR 8×8 + EAN‑13 — ~12 m/min
- ADVANCED (static): 5 text lines of 4 mm + QR 8×8 + EAN‑13 — ~500 ms
- PRO (dynamic): 18 text lines of 3 mm + EAN‑13 — ~4 m/min
- PRO (static): 18 text lines of 3 mm + EAN‑13 — ~1500 ms
Note: Actual results depend on material, artwork, and line conditions.
TTO vs iLumiFlex
TTO limitations: High running costs (ribbons, printheads, air); frequent downtime (ribbon changes, head cleaning); industrial waste from used ribbons; marks can fade or smear.
iLumiFlex solutions: Zero consumables and lower TCO; continuous, non‑stop production; 100% sustainable (no ribbon waste); permanent, damage‑free marks on film.
