Marking in the Cable Industry

In manufacturing, complete product traceability matters more than ever. Particularly in the cable industry, where products must withstand high stress, durable and reliable marking makes all the difference. It ensures compliance with industry standards and provides end-users with critical product information at all times. This is why leading cable manufacturers rely on smart, state-of-the-art, and contactless Continuous-Inkjet (CIJ) printers from the alphaJET series by Koenig & Bauer Coding. The company is a renowned manufacturer of marking and coding technologies and an established fixture in the industry.

Efficiency Meets Reliability: The Heart of Modern Marking

Modern, high-performance marking systems are true performance boosters: they mark materials quickly, precisely, and without slowing the production flow. Continuous-Inkjet (CIJ) printers are designed for speeds of over 1,000 meters per minute, delivering crystal-clear printing results even under extreme production conditions.

A key aspect of efficiency is seamless integration into existing extrusion lines. This minimizes downtime and optimizes the entire manufacturing process. Specially developed fast-drying inks ensure that the marking is immediately dry and abrasion-resistant after printing, without any smudging or transferring.

The minimal solvent consumption of Koenig & Bauer Coding's CIJ printers is a decisive factor for cost-effectiveness and the environmental balance. This not only reduces operating costs but also improves the ecological footprint, combining profitability with environmental consciousness.

Choosing the right ink is crucial to ensure the longevity of the marking. The cable industry requires inks that adhere under the most extreme conditions and remain legible throughout the product's entire service life. The marking must remain resistant and clearly legible against heat, oil, abrasion, UV radiation, and other environmental factors.

Everything from a single source: From individual consultation and implementation to maintenance, Koenig & Bauer Coding is the partner of choice for marking systems. Manufacturers benefit from the company's expertise to precisely tailor their systems to their production goals and processes. This includes individual printer configuration, smooth line integration with minimal interruption, and a well-conceived training concept. A globally responsive support network ensures maximum uptime and the smooth running of production processes.

Through innovative technology, customized inks, and comprehensive service, Koenig & Bauer Coding ensures that its customers products meet the highest industry standards worldwide.
