As the production costs of wire and cable manufacturers continue to increase, inkjet printer consumables have become invisible costs that manufacturers cannot compress! At the same time, there is also the problem that the ink of the wire and cable logo falls off during use, which causes the problem of untraceability. Wire and cable manufacturers face the dual pressure of production costs and consumer complaints at the same time!
In the past wire and cable industry, inkjet printers were either micro-character inkjet printers or white ink inkjet printers, and the speed requirements for inkjet printers were also fast, so wire and cable companies used a large amount of ink. Compared with inkjet printers, laser printers not only do not need consumables, but also have great advantages in printing effect and longevity of labels. The laser printer uses laser to directly burn the desired logo on various wires and cables. The font can be set, beautiful and generous, and the marking is clear and does not fade. The key is to withstand the test of the harsh outdoor environment without fall off.
The biggest advantage of the laser printer is that it is easy to maintain and more durable. Generally, fiber laser printing can reach 100,000 hours of maintenance-free. Because the principle of laser printing is a process of electro-optical conversion, only electricity is required, and no consumables are required.
Our company now has CO2 laser marking machine, fiber laser marking machine, UV laser marking machine for wire and cable industry products.
General PVC and PA materials can be printed with CO2 laser marking machine and fiber laser marking machine. The effect is yellowish white, which is more clear and beautiful. The maintenance period of CO2 laser marking machine is 3 years, and the maintenance cost is about several thousand each time. The fiber laser marking machine is maintenance-free for 100,000 hours, and there is no need to replace any accessories for maintenance, only a few hundred dollars.
General low-smoke halogen-free materials and PE materials can be marked with a fiber laser marking machine, and they can also be marked with a relatively fine yellow-white color.
The basic common materials can be marked with a fiber laser marking machine, and the color is basically yellowish white, but each manufacturer may use different sheath materials, so it needs to be determined by specific laser experiments.
With the popularity of laser marking machines, the advantages of laser printers with zero consumables, high stability, maintenance-free, beautiful markings and no falling off have been gradually enlarged in the wire and cable industry! For wire and cable users, clear and accurate marking is a standard method to identify the brand, and it is also a symbol of confidence for long-term safe use. For manufacturers, the use of laser marking technology can improve the brand's market image and unified logo management, and establish a good identification image and products!
