Plug & Print Coding and Marking System

Leibinger has introduced an intelligent coding and marking system, the IQJET. The IQJET is suited for the direct coding and marking of products and packaging. It can be used in the food and consumer goods sectors (FMCG), as well as for applications in the industrial sector.

It offers "plug & print" performance and requires no scheduled maintenance for a full five years, resulting in operating costs as much as 30% lower than conventional systems, the company reported.

The new IQJET is equipped with four assistance systems. One of them is the SMART.OS operating system with its large 10" touch display. Numerous interfaces, including OPC UA and an integrated PLC, provide easy integration into the production line. Operation is intuitive and can be mastered by anyone without requiring any prior knowledge.

The IQPRINT technology is designed to provide reliable printing performance with consistent print quality. When not in use, the entire ink circuit, including the print nozzle, is sealed airtight and the ink continues to circulate. Due to IQPRINT, regular maintenance and printhead cleaning routines are entirely eliminated.

"The SMART.EFFICIENCY assistance system autonomously ensures that the IQJET's operating costs are kept to a minimum, also in regards to resources and the environment," said a company spokesperson. "The IQJET features the lowest consumption on the market, ~ 2.7 cc/h for MEK inks. Ink cartridges are emptied down to the last drop and do not require separate disposal, as is often the case with conventional CIJ systems. The system's unique design does not require a continuously running feed pump, which minimizes wear and tear. As a result, maintenance is usually only required after five years."
