Non-contact marking

Non-contact marking allows industrial marking without damaging the product

On the one hand, marking products in everyday industrial life is often necessary to meet legal requirements, but it can also be used to optimise your own sales and logistics. With more solid materials such as plastic, rubber, metal or wood, techniques such as engraving or laser are often used, but these naturally "damage" the surfaces. If you want to avoid this, the TIJ technology (Thermal Inkjet) from Hewlett Packard is also an efficient option for non-contact marking.

TIJ is based on the proven inkjet technology and differs from the domestic inkjet printer by combining ink cartridge and print head in a single housing. This solution makes printing more independent of the specific application and is the only way to effectively implement miniaturisation in printer technology - for example in hand-held printers. The complete printing technology for non-contact marking is thus separate from the printing logic. The print head is controlled via built-in contacts on the housing. This makes it possible to design and programme a wide variety of control units yourself. In the industry, TIJ has therefore established itself as the standard for the implementation of printing and marking tasks.

An inkjet gun is ideal for marking any objects and materials quickly, effectively and economically without contact. This technology can show its strengths especially in small to medium production quantities, because you can easily reach places that would be difficult to reach by machine, for example the inside of car rims or plastic pipes. If necessary, the exact print location can also be changed quickly, e.g. for knotholes in wooden objects. Non-contact marking also allows the use of a wide range of ink properties. For example, UV ink can be used for marking that is only visible under UV light, or the light resistance of the printouts can be flexibly varied.

NasaJet® hand printer for non-contact marking

The NasaJet® handheld printer is the right choice if you frequently need to mark products or packaging. In the warehouse, at the production site or even in the shop, the cost-effective inkjet hand printer can quickly and economically mark anything with any data or even images. Whether it's expiry dates, serial numbers or service information, the NasaJet® makes non-contact labelling easy. Multi-line printing, printing of images, barcodes or consecutive numbers - the NasaJet® has everything you need for everyday industrial use. The print templates are created quickly and conveniently directly on the device with the help of the built-in touch screen and stored internally. Graphics and logos can of course be transferred to the machine via USB stick.

NasaJet® NJ-2000 non-contact marking system

Even for larger production volumes and existing production facilities, we offer the NasaJet® NJ-2000, a professional yet economical marking system for printing on plastic, rubber, cardboard, wood or other surfaces. The separate control and print units of the NasaJet® NJ-2000 allow a quick and easy installation into existing production lines with a maximum print speed of up to 60m per minute. The print units can be flexibly positioned to allow simultaneous printing of different pages at the same time.
The control unit allows the creation of even complex print templates directly via the built-in touch screen. Contactless labelling with necessary information such as expiry date, serial numbers or barcodes is thus possible in a fully automated way - and the labelling costs still remain economical.
