Coding on Cable and Wire

KGK Jet CIJ (Continuous Inkjet) technology is a non-contact method that uses a continuous stream of ink to print characters, symbols, or barcodes onto a substrate, making it ideal for printing on moving objects like cables and wires.

High-Speed Printing: KGK Jet CIJ machines are capable of printing at high speed, which is essential in cable manufacturing where production lines move quickly.

Non-Contact Printing: CIJ systems spray ink onto the surface without physical contact, ensuring that the machine can print on uneven, round, or flexible surfaces like cables and wires without damaging them.

Adhesion on Different Substrates: KGK Jet CIJ printers can use specialized inks designed to adhere to different cable and wire materials, such as PVC, rubber, polyethylene, other plastics as well coated steel wire.

Legibility on Small Diameters: Cables and wires are often small in diameter, so the ability to print small, high-quality, and legible characters is essential. KGK Jet printers with 40, 50 60-micron nozzle can achieve this with precision.

Ink Variety: CIJ machines offer a wide range of ink types—fast-drying, heat-resistant, and MEK-based inks—ensuring that the printed codes withstand harsh environments, including heat, moisture, and outdoor exposure.

Environmental Resistance: Markings on cables need to resist abrasion, chemical exposure, and sunlight. CIJ inks are designed to be durable in such conditions.

Accurate Meter Marking: Most trusted cable software automatically printing the cable length on the wire as it is being extruded.

Flexibility: Easily adaptable to different production lines and product sizes.

Cost-Effective: Lower running costs compared to other marking technologies.

Durability: Long-lasting inks that remain legible even under tough conditions.
