UV PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

Printing machine development at KBA-Metronic is focused on techniques which use UV ink to print on plastic cards, CDs/DVDs and plastic and paper sheets. The portfolio includes standard four-colour printing and complete solutions offering special colours, fully automatic feed, integrated white basic unit and varnishing unit.

Major companies around the world use KBA-Metronic printing machines to print on smart cards and telephone cards, CDs, DVDs and A3+ size plastic and paper sheets.

• UV-sheet-fed printing
• UV offset printing for disks (CDs/DVDs)
• UV offset printing for single cards
• Personalization Scratch-off
• Feeder

LOW-COST INKJET PRINTER TECHNOLOGY

Low-cost inkjet printer technology and IP 55 class protection make the alphaJET E ideal for industrial coding applications in the food and beverages industry.

The alphaJET E has a 24-point matrix and can print up to three lines at a time (7 x 5 matrix) or four lines (5 x 5 matrix), enabling it to apply high-quality production and product data. Economical operation and low consumption make the alphaJET E an extremely interesting proposition for large production volumes.

The economy of the alphaJET E with IP55 is evident even before it is actually put to use in production owing to its low initial costs. Naturally, this does not imply any loss of quality.

CODING AND MARKING TECHNOLOGY

KBA-Metronic coding and marking systems are used to print, mark and code products and packaging in a wide variety of industrial applications. KBA-Metronic offers static and user-programmable equipment designed for coding on a broad range of media. The equipment can be combined to make complete customer-friendly systems.

• Inkjet printers
• Laser
• Hot stamping
• Personalization scratch-off
• Feeder
• Thermal transfer

LASER CODING SYSTEMS

The compact, user-friendly laser coding systems of the F-1010/F-1030 and S-1010/S-1030 series are ideal for economical permanent coding on paper, cardboard, coated and lacquered metals as well as ceramics, wood, glass and plastic.

The 10W laser output F-1010 SP CO2 laser coding system with and the 30W F-1030 SP laser coding system are designed for simple coding operations, such as sell-by dates or batch numbers. It is just as simple and straightforward to enter data and perform configuration via the touch screen terminal as it is to install the system in a production line.

A high-speed head is a standard feature of the F-1010 SP/F-1030 SP. The tried and tested high availability of the system is equally convincing, making it ideal for newcomers to laser technology, offering great user convenience and high output at low investment costs.

SOPHISTICATED LASER CODING TECHNOLOGY

The 'Plus' in the F-1010/F-1030 series stands for more sophisticated coding technology. The 'Plus series' is supplied in 10W and 30W versions. The spectrum of applications ranges from standard data such as date, time or batch number, up to complex graphics, logos, barcodes and data matrix codes.

Depending on the area of application, the system can be controlled either via a pocket terminal, a portable touch screen or an external PC, with which it is possible to access any number of F-1010/F-1030 Plus laser systems via the serial Ethernet interface by using the special operating software.
