CS-Laser encoding system
Laser, magnetic, and RFID personalization for cards
The CS laser system from Rinas Gerätetechnik is a modular coding system for laser personalization of magnetic cards, RFID cards, and chip cards. It processes cards made of plastic, wood, or metal with the highest precision.
Thanks to its modular design, the system can be configured with one or two laser units. An integrated flip unit enables double-sided processing in a single pass – ideal for high volumes and precise coding.
Card encoding with laser precision
The CS laser coding system combines laser engraving, magnetic coding, RFID, and chip personalization in one compact system. The layout editor allows you to freely define labels, barcodes, and security features.
The system supports ISO 7811 magnetic encoding, Mifare and Legic RFID chips, and contact-based smart chip encoding. Standardized interfaces allow the system to be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines.

Frequently asked questions about CS laser coding systems
A CS Laser Coding System is a modular machine for personalizing and coding cards. It combines laser engraving with magnetic, RFID, and chip coding in a compact system and is suitable for plastic, wood, and metal cards.
The system supports ID-1 card formats (85.7 × 54 mm) with a thickness of 0.5 to 1.2 mm. It can process cards of all colors, including transparent and metallic ones.
Laser engraving is performed using an integrated layout editor that transfers data, text, or graphics precisely onto the card surface. The process is contactless, permanent, and abrasion-resistant, eliminating the need for printing inks or foils.
The system is low-maintenance and follows the Rinas Think Green concept. Only wear parts are replaced; cleaning and removal of laser residue can be carried out by the user.
