Coding on Metal
KGK Jet CIJ Continuous Inkjet technology, is favored for its versatility, high-speed printing capabilities, and ability to print on a wide range of metals.
High Adhesion Inks: KGK Jet CIJ printers are equipped with specialized inks designed to adhere well to metal surfaces, ensuring durability even under harsh conditions such as high temperatures, humidity, and abrasion.
Non-Contact Printing: CIJ printers work by propelling small droplets of ink onto the surface without physical contact, which is ideal for irregularly shaped or delicate metal parts.
High-Speed and Precision: CIJ systems can print at very high speeds, making them suitable for fast-moving production lines, such as in the packaging or automotive industries. This high speed does not compromise print quality, ensuring legible and consistent codes like lot numbers, batch numbers, expiration dates, and barcodes.
Small Character Printing: The technology excels in small character printing, which is often required on metal substrates for information like serial numbers, regulatory data, and traceability codes.
Wide Range of Inks: KGK Jet offers different types of inks suitable for metal substrates, including:
Fast-drying solvent-based inks: These are critical for ensuring the marks are smudge-resistant on metals like stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized surfaces.
Heat-resistant inks: Ideal for metal parts exposed to high temperatures in industries such as automotive manufacturing or metal fabrication.
Easy Integration: CIJ systems are typically compact and easily integrated into existing production lines, whether vertical or horizontal.
Versatile Marking Options: KGK Jet CIJ printers can print a variety of codes including alphanumeric text, logos, barcodes, and 2D data matrix codes, making them highly versatile for various marking needs on metal parts.
Application Areas for KGK Jet CIJ on Metal Substrates:
- Automotive Industry: Components like engine parts, metal casings, or exhaust systems.
- Aerospace: Ensuring traceability on critical parts such as aircraft components.
- Metal Packaging: Coding on cans, metal lids, and other metal packaging materials.
- Construction Materials: Marking Metal pipes, Roofing Sheets and other building components.
These features make KGK Jet CIJ printers an excellent choice for industries requiring permanent, legible, and high-quality coding on metal substrates.
