Non-contact production-line coding
Continuous Inkjet Printer for Production-Line Coding
Plan a VORANIX CIJ coding solution around the substrate, ink adhesion, code content, line speed, environment and maintenance workflow.

Engineering gateInk, speed and environment review required
Application fit
Start with the code, ink and line conditions
A CIJ printer is evaluated when products move continuously and the code must be applied without contact. Selection depends on adhesion, drying time, throw distance, code height, line speed, washdown or dust exposure and the operator maintenance routine.
- Date, lot and text coding on bottles, cans, caps, cable or formed products
- Continuous production where non-contact printing and flexible mounting are needed
- Lines that may add code-presence inspection or centralized message control
Selection limits to resolve
- Ink suitability and adhesion must be tested on the real substrate and production surface condition.
- Maximum speed is meaningless without character height, content, pitch and print-quality conditions.
- Ventilation, consumables, cleaning and maintenance access must be included in the line plan.
Three scalable system levels
Choose equipment as part of the required solution
These are provisional architectures. Final components and boundaries depend on engineering discovery and verified technical data.
B. CIJ + Code Inspection
For checking code presence, position or selected content after printing.
- CIJ coding station
- Camera and application-specific lighting
- Alarm, stop or reject interface
C. CIJ + Connected Data
For controlled messages, variable data and production records.
- Recipe or job data interface
- Print and inspection result handling
- Customer system integration after protocol review

Sample results and evidence status
Images are presented as application-screening evidence only. They do not establish production speed, durability, verification grade or compliance.
Verified product sample required
Good / marginal / fail set required
Before publication, every sample needs a verified material, machine model, settings, cycle condition, acceptance method and permission status.
Selection guide
Information VORANIX needs to select the system
Describe the substrate
State material, color, surface treatment, moisture, oil and temperature at printing.
Define the code
Provide lines, characters, height, language, barcode or 2D requirements and change frequency.
Measure the line
Provide speed range, product spacing, print direction, throw distance and encoder conditions.
Define the environment
Describe dust, washdown, humidity, solvent restrictions, ventilation and maintenance access.
Engineering integration
System boundaries and acceptance
The final CIJ configuration requires a verified printer datasheet, approved ink and safety data, mounting drawing, sensor and encoder logic, line-speed test, ventilation review, cleaning plan, communication protocol and acceptance criteria.
Case-study evidence is not yet complete
No verified customer, site, model, before/after result or publication permission was found. Add a case study only after those records are supplied.

Continuous Inkjet Printer FAQ
What is the difference between CIJ and TIJ?
CIJ is commonly evaluated for continuous non-contact coding on varied moving products. TIJ is often considered for high-resolution coding at controlled throw distance. The real substrate and line decide.
How fast can the printer run?
No speed can be published until the exact model, code height, content, print pitch and test conditions are supplied.
Can CIJ print on plastic, glass and metal?
Potentially, with the correct ink and surface conditions. Adhesion and drying must be tested on production samples.
Can a camera inspect the code?
Yes, provisionally. The inspection task may range from presence and position to OCR or code reading, and each requires different optics and logic.
