04/11/2025 – Marking in the cable industry
Precision that connects
In the production complete product traceability is more important than ever. Especially in the cable industry, where products must withstand high stresses, permanent and reliable marking makes all the difference.
It ensures compliance with industry standards and provides end users with crucial product information at all times. That’s why Koenig & Bauer Coding’s alphaJET series of smart, state-of-the-art, contactless continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers are trusted by leading cable manufacturers. As a renowned provider of labeling technologies, the company is an integral part of the industry.
Efficiency meets reliability: The heart of modern marking and coding
Modern, high-performance marking systems are real performance boosters: They mark materials quickly, precisely, and without slowing down the production flow. Continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) are designed for speeds of over 1,000 meters per minute and deliver razor-sharp print results even under extreme production conditions.
An essential aspect of efficiency is the easy and seamless integration into existing extrusion lines. Downtime is minimised and the entire manufacturing process is optimised. Specially developed fast-drying inks ensure that the marking is immediately dry and abrasion-resistant after printing, without smearing or transferring.
The minimal solvent consumption of Koenig & Bauer Coding's CIJ printers is a key factor in both cost efficiency and environmental performance. This not only reduces operating costs but also improves the ecological footprint, combining cost-effectiveness with environmental awareness.
Inks for extreme conditions
Choosing the right ink is essential for long-lasting, reliable markings. In the cable industry, inks must withstand extreme conditions - remaining clear and durable despite heat, oil, abrasion, UV radiation, and other environmental influences.
Special inks offer tailor-made solutions:
– Fast-drying inks are ideal for High-speed applications.
– Pigmented inks ensure high contrast on dark surfaces such as PVC, PE, XLPE and Teflon.
– In our own ink laboratory, we develop tailor-made solutions for sophisticated, customer-specific products and new applications.
Tailor-made solutions and comprehensive support
Everything from a single source: From customised consulting to implementation and maintenance, Koenig & Bauer Coding is the partner for coding 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 interruptions and a well-thought-out training concept.
