With the increase in demand for wires and cables, improving efficiency and reducing costs have become a major problem for manufacturers, so many manufacturers have begun to look for new production processes.
Taking the cable surface marking process as an example, after the original ink jet coding is replaced by the laser coding technology, the production efficiency, processing effect and production cost have been improved.
Consumables cost
Ink coding: The cost of consumables for an ink jet printer is 20,000 to 40,000 yuan per year. It is understood that the cost of ink purchased by a medium-sized enterprise in a year should reach 400,000-500,000 or even millions.
Laser coding: no consumable costs.
operation hours
Ink coding: Affected by the working environment and changes in temperature and humidity, ink jet printers are prone to blockage of ink paths and nozzles, with high failure rates and short equipment life.
Laser coding: 24h stable and continuous production can be achieved, and the service life of the fiber laser coding machine can be extended.
Marking speed
Ink coding: manual or mechanical operation, can realize 1 or more lines of character marking, relatively slow.
Laser coding: It adopts computer-integrated intelligent operation, which can realize automatic feeding, automatic marking and automatic storage, saving time; the marking speed is faster.
Labor cost
Ink coding: The ink jet printer has many processes, which requires continuous addition of ink, and frequent cleaning of the nozzles for maintenance, and limited storage of consumables.
Laser coding: It can realize automatic online flying marking and reduce the process; and the development speed is fast, the marking can be replaced continuously, the storage capacity is large, basically no manual maintenance is required, and the operation is simple.
As an advanced marking equipment, laser inkjet printer is replacing traditional marking equipment due to its many advantages, and has become a new choice for wire and cable manufacturers. Do manufacturers know how to choose between ink coding and laser coding?
Ultraviolet series laser marking machine, independently developed by Chuangxuan Laser, uses high energy density ultraviolet laser to process the workpiece without contact, with high marking accuracy, high speed and clear marking, you deserve it~
