The coding and marking processes applied to cables are directly dependent on the speed of the production line. Printing on constantly moving, thin surfaces must be both clear and uninterrupted. Therefore, systems used in cable coding must be able to operate at high speed and produce readable results even for small characters.
Where is cable coding used?
- Manufacturing of electrical and power cables
- Data and communication cables
- Automotive wiring harnesses
- Industrial machine cables
- Fiber optic cable manufacturing
- Cables used in the building and construction industry
- Cable insulation production lines
- Serial number and meter marking applications
- Printing brand and technical information on the cable
- Standard-compliant marking on export cables
Points to Consider in Cable Coding
- The cable surface is constantly in motion; pressure must be continuous
- Small characters must be printed clearly on thin surfaces
- Ink adhesion to the plastic insulation surface is important
- Adaptations to high-speed production lines are required
- The material must be resistant to friction and pressure
- The pressure position must be correctly adjusted according to the cable diameter
Application Examples
Which system should be preferred in which situations?
Inkjet Coding Systems (CIJ)
When should it be preferred??
- If the production line is running continuously and at high speed
- If continuous coding is to be done on the cable
- If constant pressure is required with small characters
- If metering and serial numbering are to be done
Recommended Devices:
Smartech CI8550 Coding Device
HI200 Inkjet Coding Device
HI100 Inkjet Coding Device
High Definition Inkjet (TIJ)
When should it be preferred??
- If you need clearer and higher resolution printing
- If the brand, logo or detailed information is to be printed on the cable
- If the production line is more controlled and at a lower speed
- If barcodes or special characters are to be printed
