The extrusion process for pipes and profiles requires coding systems that can handle continuous production without causing downtime. Stoppages or line speed changes can result in costly waste, making printer reliability essential for maintaining Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE). Additionally, they must print high-quality codes on curved surfaces, and the inks need to adhere well, even after post-production treatments.
Domino’s Ax-Series inkjet printers provide reliable coding solutions for extruded plastics, printing clear product codes, meter marks, logos, and more, even on narrow pipes. These high-resolution printers are designed for tough environments, minimizing maintenance and solvent use while ensuring high uptime. With IP66-rated enclosures and fast-drying inks, they can handle high temperatures and deliver high-contrast codes, making them ideal for continuous extrusion processes.
Alternatively, Domino's laser coders print sharp, indelible codes onto different materials like plastic pipes and profiles to support high-speed extrusion lines. They integrate well into tight manufacturing lines using flexible mounting positions or custom installation designs.
