Ink coding is replaced by laser coding technology

In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's economy, the wire and cable industry has also developed and expanded. In 2017, the scale of China's wire and cable industry reached 1.2 trillion yuan, an increase of 6.3% over the same period in 2016. During the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, the total investment in my country's distribution network construction is expected to reach 1.7 trillion yuan, with an average annual investment of 340 billion yuan. It is planned that by 2020, the line length of the high-voltage distribution network will reach 1.01 million kilometers, and the length of the medium-voltage distribution network will reach 4.04 million kilometers. At the same time, the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" has also formulated a rural power grid transformation and upgrading plan with a total investment of more than 700 billion yuan. It can be seen that my country's power cable market has a strong demand during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period. With the increasing 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. Take the cable surface marking process as an example. After the original ink jet coding is replaced by laser coding technology, both production efficiency, processing effect, and production cost have been improved.

Consumables cost

Ink inkjet printing: The cost of an inkjet printer consumables costs 20,000 to 20,000 yuan per year. It is understood that the cost of ink purchased by a medium-sized enterprise a year can reach 400,000 to 500,000 or even millions. Laser coding: no need for consumables costs.

operation hours

Ink jet coding: The ink jet printer is affected by the working environment and changes in temperature and humidity, and it is easy to cause blockage of the ink path and nozzles. The failure rate is high and the service life of the equipment is short. Laser coding: 24h stable continuous production can be realized, and the service life of fiber laser coding machine can reach more than 100,000 hours.

Marking speed

Ink coding: manual or mechanical operation can be used to mark one or more lines of characters, and the relative speed is slow. Laser coding: using computer integrated intelligent operation, can realize automatic feeding, automatic marking, automatic storage, saving time; marking faster.

Labor cost

Ink jet coding: Ink jet printers have many procedures, and need to constantly add ink, and the nozzles must be cleaned frequently for maintenance, and the storage of consumables is limited. Laser coding: It can realize automatic online flying marking and reduce the process; and the development speed is fast, the marks can be changed continuously, the storage capacity is large, basically no manual maintenance is required, and the operation is simple.

RFH UV laser high-precision marking cable

As an advanced marking equipment, laser printers are replacing traditional marking equipment and become a new choice for wire and cable manufacturers due to their many advantages. Manufacturers all know how to choose between ink printing and laser printing? The UV series laser marking machine, independently developed by RFH laser, uses high-energy-density UV lasers for non-contact processing of workpieces, with high marking accuracy, fast speed and clear markings.
