Code and text verification systems for the wood industry
Wood is a very versatile material and an indispensable part of many industrial sectors, especially the construction and furniture industries. As a natural product, wood has very different properties depending on the type and processing method. The marking of wood and wood products requires printing systems and labeling solutions that can cope with the environmental conditions in the wood processing industry. They have to be designed for the high dust pollution, the large temperature fluctuations and the sometimes strong vibrations caused by conveyor belts and chains.
The markings that sawmills and wood processors have to apply to beams, boards, panels, plywood and other wood products include internationally prescribed quality seals, CE marking, DIN standards, information on wood grading, manufacturer logos and product designations. Variable data such as production date and time and batch number are also printed or applied by label to ensure serialization and complete traceability. Data for transportation and shipping is usually applied to wooden products using logistics labels. All coding and marking systems and labeling solutions also have to be designed for the high cycle rates of wood processing machines.
Challenges in marking wood surfaces
- Marking at sometimes very high machine speeds
- Resistance to dust, vibrations and temperature fluctuations
- Direct marking of irregularly grown wooden surfaces
- Marking with variable data for serialization
- Compliance with EPAL standards for pallet production
What is marked in the timber industry?
Wood: tree trunks, wooden beams, planed wood, wooden panels, laminated wood, wooden stacks
Boards: planed boards, wooden planks
Timber: construction timber, sawn timber, log house profiles, plywood
Wooden pallets: Euro pallets, pallet blocks, disposable pallets
Panel goods: chipboard, OSB panels
Wooden packaging: Wooden crates, export crates, solid wood crates, plywood crates
What are our solutions suitable for?
- Direct marking of solid wood, construction timber, plywood, pallets (logos, QR codes, alphanumeric codes, variable data)
- Labeling (front side labeling, front and back side labeling in throughfeed, logistics labels)
- Code verification, text verification, layout control
