Wire, Cable & Pipe Coding & Packaging
Continuous metre marking on extrusions at full line speed.
What wire, cable & pipe lines need
Extrusion never stops. The coder must print continuously on a curved, often dark, sometimes hot surface, and the mark must survive coiling, burial and sunlight.
Typical codes and marks
- Sequential metre marks
- Standards and rating text
- Manufacturer and date codes
- Logos and batch numbers
What matters most
Continuous running
High-speed CIJ and lasers mark repeating text and metre counts without pauses.
Contrast on dark jackets
Pigmented inks print white or yellow on black cable; UV lasers change the jacket colour itself.
Durability
Laser marks cannot be rubbed off; specialised inks resist abrasion and plasticiser migration.
Machine families for wire, cable & pipe
Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printers
Non-contact small-character coding on almost any surface, flat or curved, at high line speeds.
UV Laser Marking Machines
355 nm “cold” marking for plastics, films, glass and heat-sensitive components.
Fiber Laser Marking Machines
High-contrast permanent marks on metals and engineering plastics, on the fly or at a workstation.
Vision & Code Inspection Systems
Cameras that read, verify and grade every code and label — and reject what fails.
Strapping & Pallet Wrapping Machines
Table and arch strappers plus turntable and rotary-arm stretch wrappers to secure loads for transit.
