Cable and wire production requires fast and highly visible identification. Pigment inkjet systems can apply specifications, numbers and variable production information while products move continuously.
Cable manufacturers often need to print information continuously along the surface of a moving product.
Typical information can include:
High-Contrast Coding
Many cable products have dark surfaces.
Pigment ink, particularly suitable high-contrast ink, can make identification more visible on these products.
High-Speed Production
Cable extrusion lines can operate continuously.
With printing speeds reaching approximately 260 m/min under suitable configurations, the printer can support demanding online coding applications.
Automatic Data Functions
The coding system supports automatic numbering and other changing production information.
This is useful where cable markings need to change continuously.
Stable Ink Circulation
Continuous circulation and automatic mixing help maintain pigment-ink stability during long production runs.
Conclusion
Pigment inkjet technology combines high-contrast coding, high-speed operation and variable information, making it particularly relevant to cable and wire manufacturing.
