The mark of quality: reliable, fast and economical
InkJET technology from KBA-Metronic
The test of any technology is its continued use in everyday applications. The winning features of the ink jet printers from KBA-Metronic are simple operation ant the ease with which they can be integrated into all production lines.
The whole ink system has a simple but robust design and is therefore extremely reliable. Ink bottles can also be refilled at any time during print operation so production downtimes are minimized.
The freely programmable inkJET marking technology from KBA-Metronic is extremely versatile and the alphaJET is also suitable for a wiede range of substrates. This diversity enables its use in an extremely wide range of industries, e.g. food, drink, pharmaceutical, cabling, automotive etc.
alphaJET C
The outstanding price/performance ratio
is demonstrated by the fact that thealphaJET C can be fitted with a second print head and is thus able to serve two
production lines concurrently, with
completely different data, logos or
addresses.
In whichever position it is installed, the
print head of the alphaJET C produces a
high quality print of 1 to 6 lines on
smooth and irregular surfaces.
Applications include best before dates,
batch numbers, logos, barcodes, Data
Matrix Codes, serial numbers and production
data.
The alphaJET C can be operated with
many different inks. This includes pigmented
inks for high-contrast and nonfade
marking on dark surfaces, or special
inks such as UV-detectable inks.
alphaJET E
Ideal for the drinks industry
This system was designed to meet IP 55
protection class requirements and is
therefore suitable for use in damp and
wet areas. The alphaJET E also has an
extended operating temperature range
of 5° C to 45° C.
alphaJET C-HS
Ideal for marking with small fonts at
high speed
This model uses the same basic design
as the alphaJET C. Due to the particularly
high marking speed of up to
10 m/second, the high-speed version is
perfect for marking cables and also products
on high speed packaging lines.
alphaJET C4
Ideal for multi-line printing
With this model, packaging and products can be individually and simultaneously
marked in multi-line production
runs – either with four print heads
in 1-line operation or with two print
heads each in 2-line operation.
