Industrial Marking & Coding Systems
Industrial Coding and Marking Equipment for Parts and Packaging
At All Pro Technical Service, we sell, service and support industrial coding and marking equipment for manufacturers. Our equipment offerings include Leibinger continuous inkjet printers and Squid CoPilot high-resolution printers.
We help manufacturers select equipment for identifying components, finished products, and shipping cases. Recommendations consider the required mark, substrate, production conditions, and budget.
Industrial Coding and Marking Equipment
Industrial coding and marking equipment applies information used to identify manufactured parts, finished products and shipping cases. A component may require a compact part number or lot code, while its shipping case needs a larger barcode and product description. All Pro Technical Service reviews these messages, materials and available print areas to recommend suitable equipment and inks.
Marking Manufactured Parts and Materials
Industrial manufacturing can involve several marking requirements within the same facility. A component may need a part number, while its shipping case requires a larger identification message.
Leibinger's documented applications include metal, plastic, and rubber components. The following examples illustrate requirements that manufacturers can discuss with All Pro Technical Service.
| Manufacturing Application | Typical Marking Requirement | Factors to Review |
|---|---|---|
| Machined parts and sheet metal | Part numbers, batch codes, and product identification | Surface finish, ink adhesion, contrast, and marking space |
| Molded plastic components | Manufacturing dates, lot information, and component identifiers | Material composition, surface characteristics, and print placement |
| Wire, cable, and pipe | Product identification and production information | Substrate, product movement, and production line speed |
| Cartons and shipping cases | Product descriptions, barcodes, logos, and graphics | Print-area size, message layout, and packaging material |
Suitability depends on the selected equipment, ink, and application. Testing the actual substrate can help you evaluate the printed result before selecting equipment.
For applications requiring etching into compatible metal, plastic or glass, contact All Pro Technical Service to discuss whether laser marking suits the material and required mark.
Leibinger Continuous Inkjet Printers for Product Identification
Leibinger continuous inkjet printers apply information directly to products and packaging without contacting the surface. They support applications where products move through a production line.
Common marking requirements include:
- Manufacturing dates
- Batch and lot numbers
- Serial numbers and product identifiers
- Barcodes
- Logos and graphics
Leibinger's automatic nozzle sealing technology reduces daily cleaning requirements. As a certified Leibinger distributor, All Pro Technical Service helps manufacturers compare equipment features against their application and budget.
Squid CoPilot High-Resolution Printers for Case Coding
Squid CoPilot high-resolution printers support messages containing text, barcodes, logos, and graphics on compatible products and packaging.
The required print-area size is the primary factor when selecting a CoPilot model. A case message with a product description, barcode, and logo needs enough space for the full layout.
All Pro Technical Service reviews the message dimensions and available printing area before recommending a configuration. Ink selection must also account for the packaging surface.
Porous and non-porous materials require appropriate printer and ink combinations. Evaluate a configuration against the actual material being marked.
Matching Equipment to the Manufacturing Process
All Pro Technical Service reviews the marking requirements at each stage of manufacturing and packaging. For a component, this includes the available marking area, surface finish and required character size. For a shipping case, it includes space for the complete product description, barcode or graphic.
We also consider where marking belongs in the production process: how the part reaches the printer, which surface is accessible and whether later processing or handling could affect the printed information. Production line speed, mounting space and access for operation and maintenance influence the proposed setup.
Message planning covers which information changes by part or batch, who enters or selects that information and what triggers printing as each product passes. We assess these requirements alongside equipment, consumable and maintenance costs to recommend options that fit the application and budget.
Service, Maintenance, and Consumable Support
All Pro Technical Service brings decades of technical expertise to manufacturers marking components and packaging. We provide personalized support and prioritize a prompt service response. Our technicians take time to understand where an issue occurs in the manufacturing process and focus on diagnosing the underlying problem before recommending corrective action.
We service Leibinger and Linx continuous inkjet printers. When reporting an issue, explain which component or packaging format is affected and whether it occurs during other production runs. Include the printer manufacturer, model, serial number and exact displayed message, or note that no message appears. Phone assistance can help establish the appropriate next steps.
Preventative Maintenance follows the manufacturer's recommended service intervals. Scheduling also considers production hours, ink type, operating conditions and the plant environment. A lit service light indicates that Preventative Maintenance is due.
A change in a part's material or surface finish is also a reason to review ink compatibility. We supply inks and makeup fluid (solvent) for supported continuous inkjet printers, as well as inks for Squid CoPilot high-resolution printers. Use OEM consumables or alternatives recommended by All Pro Technical Service.
