Cable is a collective term for wires and cables. We usually call products with simple structure, no outer sheath, and smaller outer diameter as wires; products with complex structure, strong sealed outer sheath, and larger outer diameters are called cables. Cables have a wide range of uses, types, and varieties. At present, there are thousands of wire and cable varieties and hundreds of thousands of specifications.

Nowadays, cables have become an indispensable thing in people's daily life. The quality of the cable is directly related to people's electricity safety. For installation, correct connection and safe operation in the use process, the state has also issued relevant regulations: The cable skin must have "permanent marks" such as manufacturer, trademark, model, specification, performance, etc., and the logo should be printed. Fill in by hand, should be clearly visible and easy to read. It is also particularly emphasized that the logo should be able to withstand environmental tests such as humidity, high temperature, and ultraviolet rays.

In the past, cables were mainly marked by ink jet coding, and the markings were easy to change and erase. After a long time, they would fall off and fade, and it was impossible to make a truly permanent marking. In addition, ink jet printers require consumables, many processes, insufficient markings, long production cycles, prone to clogging of ink paths and nozzles, high failure rates, and short equipment life. For cable manufacturers, it is undoubtedly a headache, and the use of laser marking machine for marking can easily solve the problem of permanent marking.

The problem of marking permanent is solved, but the problem of production efficiency has come again, because ordinary (that is, standard models) laser marking machines do not have automatic identification and positioning, automatic focusing, online flight marking, and automatic transmission. For feeding and other functions, the degree of automation is low and the processing efficiency is slow. To this end, Foshan Fulan Laser independently developed a fully automatic online laser marking machine dedicated to cables and pipes according to market needs. It is a laser marking machine that is professionally designed for wires, cables, and coils. It can continuously complete online flying laser marking. Its unique software and hardware configuration enables it to measure the speed of cable movement in real time, thereby realizing dynamic cable length marking. It is widely used in all kinds of cables and wires (PVC, PU, PE, PPO materials, etc.), network cables, building materials pipelines, sealing tapes, labels, etc.

Below, the editor of Foshan Fulan Laser Technology Co., Ltd. introduces the characteristics of the automatic laser coding machine dedicated for cable and pipe:

1. The marking work platform specially designed for cable coils can continuously complete online flying laser marking;

2. Without any consumables, maintenance-free, the laser working time is up to 100,000 hours;

3. Unique software and hardware configuration, can measure the cable movement speed in real time, so as to realize dynamic cable length marking;

4. The leading cable laser coding software overcomes the limitation of the length of the marking content, and uses intelligent calculation to ensure the separation distance of the marking content, thereby improving the coding effect and greatly increasing the speed of the production line;

5. Compared with traditional inkjet marking, laser marking has the characteristics of fast marking speed (≥20000mm/s) and permanent marking;

6. It can be integrated in the assembly line to realize mass uninterrupted marking tasks;

7. The operation process is humanized, easy to learn and use, and the equipment is stable in operation;

8. Adapt to the complex production environment, such as variable speed of the assembly line, stop of the assembly line, and the last marking content can be continued after stopping and restarting;

9. The length of the marking content in the software is not limited, and the number of lines is not limited. The content can be set with text, date, batch number, serial number, QR code, vector diagram, etc.;

10. The dedicated control software is compatible with AutoCAD, CorelDRAW and other software output, and is widely used in various cables, wires, network cables, PVC pipes, sealing tapes, labels, LED light bars, etc.
