Printing on Metal Parts and Components

Inkjet and laser marking solutions for printing on steel, metal and aluminum

Applying codes on metal parts and components has become essential in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, electronics, pharmaceutical, and beverage. These codes can be used for traceability, to provide production data, and to defend against piracy and counterfeiting.

Videojet continuous inkjet and laser solutions

Videojet offers fiber laser marking systems and continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers for printing on metal surfaces such as nickel tubes, stainless steel plates, aluminum cans and lids, and other machined or formed metal parts. Codes may be numeric or alphanumeric, as well as 2D or conventional bar codes.

Videojet fiber lasers are industrial metal engravers that permanently mark codes and other product identification directly on metal parts. Laser-wavelength options provide flexibility to enhance performace on a specific material. CIJ printers are also an excellent solution for printing on metal. Videojet offers MIL SPEC inks to meet specific military and aerospace requirements.
