Wood
The labeling of wood panels with label printing and application systems is very common in the wood industry when permanent marking is not required and temporary marking is needed only for logistics and distribution.
The use of high-resolution inkjet printers with LED-cured UV ink on plywood surfaces in the modular furniture industry represents a significant step forward in reducing production costs. These savings, together with direct printing using oil-based inks on corrugated cardboard boxes used as packaging, provide greater flexibility in format changes and reduce the operational complexity of coding on the production line.
UBS provides a complete labeling, coding, and marking solution for products and packaging in the wood and modular furniture industry through their range of TJX Series Thermal Inkjet printers, automatic printing equipment, APL Series labeling machines, and APLink Series of high-resolution inkjet printers.
High-resolution inkjet
Using 4th generation piezoelectric printhead technology, UBS APLINK Series high-resolution printers can print scannable barcodes, images, texts, and variable content with high contrast directly on any porous or non-porous substrate.
APLINK Series combines mineral-free oil-based ink technology and LED-cured UV ink technology to print on the various surfaces used for secondary and other types of packaging.
Equipped with an 10.1" touchscreen controller (APLINK LCX Series, 5.7" touchscreen) and software with an operator-friendly graphic interface, APLINK Series printers can be connected to the computer network via Ethernet connection using the TCP/IP protocol, or they can be used as stand-alone systems with the messages recorded in their 4GB of memory, providing capacity for up to 10,000 messages.
Print & Apply
Real-time automatic printing and application of labels eliminates the errors caused by manual labeling and provides greater speed and accuracy, reducing operating costs in the production chain.
Thanks to their multiple application options, UBS APL Series Print & Apply systems allow for on-the-fly, high-cadence labeling of all types of secondary packaging (front, rear, side, top, corner, and adjacent-side labeling).For end-of-line labeling of pallets, we also offer the option to label pallets and half-pallets on 1, 2, or 3 sides, including stacked and/or variable height pallets.
TIJ
Thermal Inkjet printers are specially designed for Inkjet Coding and Marking on primary packaging.
Unlike other technologies, the TJX Series does not require any maintenance. Each cartridge replacement equates to a new printhead.
The TJX Series was devised for direct printing on different substrates, both porous and non-porous, through HP 2.5 cartridge technology in combination with UBS’ range of water-based, solvent-based, and UV LED inks.
Units can reach printing speeds of up to 180 m/min and resolutions of up to 600 dpi.
