Marking systems provider Leibinger presents new industrial inkjets at EuroBlech

Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG, the German-based manufacturer of printers for product coding and marking, is equipping printers with intuitive touch displays. Their outstanding simplicity helps sheet metal processing companies handle frequent product changes safely and quickly. The marking systems will be showcased from 23 to 26 October at the world’s largest exhibition for the sheet metal working industry, EuroBLECH 2018, in Hanover (Hall 12, Stand G164).

The invention of the assembly line has made it possible to produce huge quantities of identical products at low prices. Today, however, the trend is moving towards individualised products – in the sheet metal processing industry as well. Small-batch production, with its frequent product changes, only works cost-effectively if machines and systems are networked with each other and can communicate barrier-free with employees.

“We want to contribute to the smooth exchange of information between devices, systems and people, which is becoming increasingly important in the Industry 4.0 era,” explains Christina Leibinger, Managing Director of Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG, a manufacturer of industrial inkjet printers. The printers are used in the sheet metal working sector for marking sheet metal parts with flying ink drops without contact – with, for example, batch numbers, LOT numbers, type designations, company logos and 2D codes. “We invest a lot of energy so that our printers can flexibly integrate into production environments and can be operated without extensive training. This will make it easier for companies in the sheet metal working industry to enter the Industry 4.0 era.”
