On-line code printers are designed for printing materials as they pass by on a conveyor line. The printers use the friction of the passing items to trigger printing. Messages up to 24″ long can be quickly assembled with individual characters or logotypes (multi-character strips) for convenience. As the print wheel rotates, ink is applied to the printing dies with an ink roller for clear and even printing.

Indexing Models

Indexing printers use a spring mechanism that returns the print wheel to the same relative position after each mark is applied. These units are used in applications where the printed message must be placed in the same position on individual items. A small gap between each individual item being marked is required to allow the printer to operate properly.

Non-indexing Models

Non-indexing printers rotate freely on their bearings and will stop at random positions when they disengage from the product being marked. These units are often used for marking continuous web materials.

Multiple Wheel Coder

Printers can be custom-built with multiple wheels for printing on products that require information to be printed on pre-determined centers. Mounting structures and programmable ink delivery systems make installation and operation easy.
