Bench daters are devices used in industry to mark or encode products with information such as manufacturing dates, batches, barcodes, or other relevant information. These devices are essential for quality control, traceability and regulatory compliance. Let's explore what they're for, how they work, and some common types of bench dateters:
What is it for:
Traceability: Allows accurate identification and tracking of products throughout the production chain.
Quality Control: They make it easier to mark important information, such as manufacturing and expiration dates.
Regulatory Compliance: Assist with compliance with regulations that require proper product labeling.
How it works:
Ink Injection: Benchtop daters using ink injection technology print information directly onto the surface of the product using computer-controlled ink jets.
Laser Engraving: Some bench daters use a laser to engrave information on the surface of the material. This method is accurate and long-lasting.
Stamp: Stamp daters press a cliché or character matrix against the surface of the product, transferring ink or directly marking the material.
Thermal Transfer: This method uses heat to transfer ink from a roller to the product and is often used for barcode printing.
Types of Bench Daters:
Inkjet Daters (Inkjet): Use ink jets to print information directly on the surface of the product. They can be solvent-based, water-based or UV inks.
Laser Daters: Use lasers to record information on the surface of the product. They are precise and offer good durability.
Stamp Daters: Use a stamp to transfer ink or directly mark the product. They can be automatic or manual.
Thermal Transfer Daters: Use heat to transfer ink from a roller to the product, useful for printing barcodes.
Thermal Printer Print Dates: Can print information on thermosensitive labels and are common in office and production environments.
The choice of benchtop dateter type depends on the specific needs of the application, the type of material to be marked and the information to be printed. These devices play a crucial role in efficient production, inventory management and meeting regulatory requirements. |
