Examples of Ink Jet Coding Applications
Printing onto the plastic film tops of tofu containers which have water on them prior to coding. A blower and dryer are used to clear the surface for printing
Printing lot numbers & scratch marks onto metal in a continuous web application
Printing onto plastic film in a continuous web application with an encoder to compensate for speed variations & a camera to verify the code
Printing onto electronic components with a multi axis traversing mechanism in order to print multiple lanes of products with a single print head
Printing onto paper roll stock with a multi axis traversing mechanism to print onto various positions of the roll stock with a single head
Printing onto the side of milk cartons with a verification system set up post printing in order to verify code. Milk cartons are driven through coding area with side hugger belts to stabilize them for better print quality
Printing onto the top of cup lids utilizing a single axis traversing mechanism with the printer reversing print orientation in order to compensate for the bi-directional flow of the traversing mechanism. This allows a single print head to print multiple lanes at a higher rate of speed due to the capabilities of the printer being able to print in either direction.
Printing onto the sides of chipboard cartons which contain cosmetic products with a camera for print verification
