In the fast-paced world of wire, cable, and tube manufacturing, uninterrupted production and speed are non-negotiable. Hitachi, a trusted name synonymous with technology and innovation, is leading the way with proven marking and coding solutions designed for this field, utilizing groundbreaking inkjet printing technologies. From seamlessly marking small spaces with unparalleled accuracy to minimizing downtime, Hitachi's technology epitomizes efficiency, reliability, and unmatched brand value - setting new benchmarks in the realm of marking and coding of wires, cables, and tubes made from a variety of materials.
Key Industry Challenges
The continuous nature of extrusion processes amidst high-speed production and limited space pose formidable challenges for traditional cable, wire, and tube marking and coding machines.
High Speed, Micro Prints, & Colored Marks for Small Diameter Products
Meeting the demands for reliable coding in limited spaces
The cable, wire, and tube industries demand precision in marking and coding, especially for small-diameter products where space is limited. Hitachi understands these challenges and offers a versatile solution to address them all. Our UX-Ultra High-Speed Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) Printers are engineered to meet the high-speed requirements of these industries while accommodating small print areas and providing options for colored pigmented inks like white and yellow. These printers ensure accurate and high-quality markings, allowing your production to maintain pace without compromising readability or quality.
Endurance for Outdoor Products in Medium Duty Applications
Ensuring markings last through harsh environmental conditions
Products in the wire, cable, and tubing industries often undergo harsh environmental conditions, including exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, and chemicals. Hitachi's UX-Pigment CIJ Printer is designed to print pigmented inks such as white, blue, and yellow offering long-lasting fade resistance and strong adhesion to multiple products ensuring that markings remain intact despite exposure to harsh environments, extending throughout the product's lifecycle.
Precision Markings for Medium Speed Applications and Indoor Products
Meeting industry standards with clear and accurate codes
Wire, cable, and tube products require precise markings, including logos, date codes, product sizes, and regulatory information, to adhere to industry standards. Printers must deliver clear and accurate codes throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring compliance and quality. Hitachi's UX2-Dynamic CIJ Printer addresses these challenges with its patented Ink Guard, extending printhead cleaning intervals and enhancing uptime. Coupled with an Enhanced Dot Control Algorithm, this solution ensures high-quality prints across various surfaces and production speeds, maintaining efficiency until the final product is ready for distribution.
Rapid Ink Drying for Fast-Paced Environments
Maximizing efficiency in high-speed production lines
In the fast-moving world of wire, cable, and tube manufacturing, every second counts. Yet, conventional ink solutions often fall short, with sluggish drying times leading to frustratingly blurred or illegible markings that disrupt the entire production flow. Hitachi resolves this challenge with meticulously engineered fast-drying ink formulations. Designed to seamlessly meet the demands of high-speed production lines, these revolutionary inks ensure rapid and reliable printing, empowering manufacturers to maximize efficiency without compromising quality.
