Fine Detail Printing due to Space Constraints

There is an increasing demand for high-resolution & high-contrast codes in small mark windows

Electronic components often have small surfaces or intricate designs, requiring printers capable of producing clear and precise markings in these limited spaces. As electronic components continue to shrink in size, the space available for marking and coding becomes increasingly limited. Hitachi’s UX2-Micro Continuous Inkjet printer has been specifically designed to address this challenge. Engineered to deliver immaculate small-character printing, this CIJ model features a robust 40µm small nozzle to produce clean, high-resolution codes in tight spaces, while boasting reduced makeup consumption and running costs with Hitachi’s Pulse Recovery System and IP65 durability.

Safeguarding Electronic Markings from Alcohol Washes

Codes must withstand chemical exposure during manufacturing

Electronic components frequently undergo cleaning processes involving alcohol-based solvents to eliminate contaminants and maintain quality. However, conventional markings and codes may suffer from fading or smudging due to this exposure, leading to readability issues. To address this challenge, Hitachi has developed alcohol-resistant inks specifically designed to preserve markings even after exposure to alcohol-based washes.
