Full-range supplier showcases its range for industrial coding and marking at LIGNA 2023
Mühltal, 5 April 2023 - Digitalization along the woodworking value chain is one of the dominant themes at LIGNA 2023 from 15 to 19 May in Hanover. Digital product marking is one of the central factors for optimizing production through automation and networking. The coding and marking specialist REA Elektronik has been a competent and reliable partner to the wood industry for more than 35 years and will be showcasing its innovations and high-performance portfolio for customized solutions with ink, laser and labels at LIGNA.
No modern wood production without marking. This starts with their importance for internal processes such as production planning, machine networking, timber flow control and warehousing, as well as internal and external logistics. And it extends to their relevance for customer information about dimensions and article numbers, recognition through company logos, traceability and compliance with the requirements of various sales markets such as CE and IPPC marking. The focus is not only on the reliable marking of wood itself, but also on secondary packaging of various materials.
REA Elektronik will be presenting its extensive range of systems for marking wood products and packaging with ink, laser and labels to the wood industry at LIGNA 2023. Its experts know the needs of the industry and develop tailor-made solutions for each company that meet its requirements and level of automation - from stand-alone solutions to full integration into production and plant control. Thanks to state-of-the-art interfaces, REA Elektronik's systems are fully Industry 4.0-ready.
One for all: the REA JET TITAN Platform
For marking with ink and laser, the REA JET TITAN Platform makes work as easy as can be: once learned, its simple and intuitive operating concept can be used to control all coding and marking technologies in the REA JET product line. It can also be integrated into the company network and operated using a PC, tablet or smartphone. Its integrated remote maintenance tool enables online diagnosis and assistance if required.
The new touch controller makes everything even easier: instead of using buttons or rotary knobs, it is controlled by touching a screen like a modern smartphone - and this is even possible when wearing gloves.
Marking - permanent and low in consumables
When it comes to marking wood with codes and information for serialization and traceability, the REA LASER CL is the tool of choice: TheCO2 Laser is robust, consumable-free and reliable even under the most adverse conditions such as temperature fluctuations, humidity, dust pollution and vibration. It also leaves its permanent markings on difficult surfaces.
Where laser marking is not an option, the REA JET HR Inkjet Printer is the perfect choice. Its print heads deliver the best print quality with a resolution of up to 600 dpi, adjustable in 16 levels - even overhead if required, i.e. on the underside of the wood blank. To prevent surprises, the cartridge fill levels are permanently displayed and a new printing unit is available with every new cartridge - making the REA JET HR maintenance-free. At LIGNA, REA will be presenting the REA JET HR 2.0 print heads , which have been significantly improved in many details. Much more compact, integration-friendly and flexible, their special design also helps users to avoid accidentally damaging the nozzle foils when changing the valuable HP cartridges.
The completely newly developed REA JET UP uses piezo-based direct printing. UP stands for "Universal Print": The system prints high-resolution content with its innovative ink formulations and high drying speed on open-pored surfaces such as wood, paper and cardboard, as well as on coated and painted surfaces. And it does so with a print height of 108.4 mm, a maximum print resolution of 360 dpi (vertical), 1,500 dpi (horizontal) and three times faster than comparable printing systems.
The REA JET DOD 2.0 Large Character Inkjet Printer is used for large lettering and images on both non-absorbent and absorbent materials such as wood. One application example is the application of oversized logos on stacked wood to increase brand awareness.
Inline label printing, dispensing and application all in one are handled by the REA LABEL DLS continuous print dispensers. With their modular design and the freedom to choose between different application forms, they can be individually adapted to the conditions on site and significantly increase the degree of automation in production.
