Industrial coding and marking printer

Before buying an industrial coding and marking printer, it’s important to weigh up the pros and cons of each before coming to a decision.

Whether you’re looking to print text, numbers, or barcodes, finding a coding and marking solution that can deliver high quality prints is essential.

With the requirements of extrusion product coding in mind, you need a machine that can produce micro-prints at a high quality, and high speeds. Consider these four printing options for your production line:

Thermal Ink Jet Printing (TIJ)
ATD’s thermal inkjet technology offers a robust and reliable solution to your coding needs in one simple, value for money, integrated unit. Bristling with features you’d expect to find on much more expensive printers, the IP2000, IP3000 and Rynan range of printers provide high-reliability, minimal maintenance printing options for coding onto cables, wires, tubes, pipes and more.

The LEIBINGER IQJET
Ideally suited for direct coding and marking of products and packaging, the IQJET is an innovative solution suitable for the extrusion industry − whether you print on pipes, wires, cables or tubes. Doing exactly what it’s supposed to − printing non-stop − the IQJET is reliable, prints consistently with high quality, and is maintenance free by design. No need for constant cleaning, no start-up problems, and no downtime.

LEIBINGER CIJ
ATD is the UK distributor for the LEIBINGER range of CIJ printers. Offering all the functions you would expect to find in industrial CIJ printers, the LEIBINGER series incorporates unique features to minimise maintenance and maximise availability. Start-up and shut-down problems have been eliminated with Sealtronic, nozzle sealing technology, and there is no wasted ink, no flush solvent use and no mess. This is ideal for coding onto extrusion parts in busy production environments.

Laser
The final option to consider is laser printing − ATD’s permanent coding and marking laser solutions can be tailored to your production requirements. By choosing the correct laser, it’s possible to permanently mark a wide range of product materials, including wires, cables, tubes and pipes. The non-contact nature of the technology allows for easy integration into existing production lines. You’re guaranteed a high-quality mark.
