In terms of product tracking, quality control and compliance with legal legislation in the electronic industry, serial number and barcode applications are indispensable. Each component from microcontrollers to integrated circuits, PCBs to connectors should be monitored from production to shipment. So what technology is more suitable for data printing on these sensitive components: Laser or Inkjet?
The answer to this problem; It depends on many variables such as production rate, material type, cost and print permanence. As Electrojet Technology, we analyze the advantages and limitations of both technologies in depth and offer the most appropriate solution to your production lines.
Laser coding technology
Laser coding performs the marking process by changing the physical or chemical structure of the surface with a high -precision beam. It is often used on plastic and metal components in the electronic sector.
Advantages:
- Permanence: wear is extremely resistant to solvent or heat.
- Chemical -free technology: There is no need for consumables.
- Speed: It works smoothly on high -speed production lines.
Disadvantages:
- High first investment cost
- Microscopic damage risk on some sensitive surfaces (eg thin film -coated PCBs)
- Limited contrast (especially in black plastics, readability may be experienced)
Inkjet (CIJ and TIJ) Coding Technology
Inkjet coding systems print data through ink spraying method. Electrojet's high -resolution TIJ and fast production lines specific to Electrojet make clear prints on electronic components with minimum contact on electronic components.
Advantages:
- Contactless and does not harm the surface
- Different ink options thanks to black, white, UV visibility -enhancing solutions
- Low investment cost
- High resolution print even for small areas
Disadvantages:
- Ink drying time requires extra attention on some lines
- Cost of consumables (cartridge or ink)
- Performance can fluctuate according to environmental conditions (dust, moisture, etc.)
