Hydramark is an industrial coding and marking printer designed by Skalene aimed at the FMCG and end of line product customisation. The Hydramark utilises up to 256 independently controlled fibre coupled laser diodes to covering a 50mm print swathe (120dpi).
Skalene have taken a modular approach to the design allowing four 64-channel systems to be synchronised and controlled from one universal controller with the option of 4 independent moveable printheads.
The printer has no moving parts and benefits from the robustness of laser diodes resulting in an extremely low maintenance printer with no downtime, a big priority with FMCG customers.
