18 mm High-Resolution Case Coder
Sharp text and small barcodes on corrugated cases.
Built around your product
A piezo printhead with an 18 mm swath prints product descriptions, dates and small barcodes directly on board, replacing pre-printed cases and stencils.
Piezo printheads fire oil- or UV-based ink from hundreds of nozzles arranged in a vertical array, building the image as the case passes on the conveyor. Valve-jet (drop-on-demand) heads use seven or sixteen solenoid valves to place larger drops for bold alphanumeric text. A central controller manages one to four heads and takes data from ERP or WMS.
Key features
- Cuts pre-printed case inventory
- Automatic head purge and wipe
- Tilt mount for angled printing
- Low ink cost per case
Process sequence
Guide
Side rails hold the case a constant distance from the printhead.
Detect
A photo-eye senses the leading edge; an encoder tracks speed.
The head prints text, graphics and barcodes on the passing panel.
Absorb
Ink wicks into the board and is dry to the touch within seconds.
Scan
An optional scanner confirms barcode readability before palletizing.
