Code and text verification systems for the rubber industry
Rubber is a material with many valuable properties for industry. It is elastic, extremely resistant and water-repellent. However, if elastomers and products or semi-finished products made of rubber are to be marked, special solutions are required. In rubber marking and rubber labeling, batch numbers, production codes, color line markings and logistics markings have to be applied to rubber surfaces using coding and marking systems and labeling solutions. These have to be clearly readable on the usually dark surfaces, remain legible at all times even under climatic and mechanical stress and not be lost. This serves the quality assurance of rubber products and their complete traceability.
Depending on the required properties of the rubber, there are many different rubber compounds. Accordingly, a great deal of material-specific expertise, specialized laser or inkjet technology and suitable pigmented inks are required for the gentle and high-contrast marking of rubber products. It is also important that the coding and marking systems and labeling solutions have suitable IT interfaces in order to integrate them into the digital production processes of the rubber industry.
Challenges in marking rubber surfaces
- Many very different rubber compounds
- Marking under harsh environmental conditions
- Resistance to moisture, heat, cold and mechanical stress
- Fast application in automated rubber production lines
- Generation of machine-readable codes
What is marked in the rubber industry?
Pre-products: Rubber, elastomers, rubber compounds, raw rubber, non-vulcanized rubber components
Rubber products: Seals, rubber mats, hoses, V-belts, cable sheathing
Tires and tire components: Raw rubber skins, treads, tires after vulcanization, balancing points
What are our solutions suitable for?
- Marking rubber products with 2D Codes / DataMatrix Codes for Track & Trace
- Applying production codes to rubber compounds, rawhides and other tire components
- Quality markings (good/bad marking, dot marking, balancing dot marking, color line marking)
- Permanent laser marking on tires and other rubber products
- Labeling (EU tire labels, customer-specific labels, 2D Codes, alphanumeric codes)
- Code verification, text verification, plain text verification, layout control
Discover the versatile application possibilities of our innovative coding and marking solutions, which contribute to automation, product quality assurance and clear traceability in the rubber industry.
