Chinese manufacturer Codpad has partnered with Xaar for the development of its latest UV inkjet coding machine, which integrates the printhead manufacturer’s Irix technology.
As a subsidiary of Docod Precision Group, Codpad has more than 20 years of expertise in the coding and marking industry. It specialises in providing options for the food, electronics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, construction materials and hardware industries.
The launch of its latest machine, with Xaar’s printhead technology, is claimed to, ‘perfectly position Codpad to become a leading provider of robust printers in the industrial coding and marking sector.’ The new machine is designed for a wide range of coding applications, including printing on metal, plastic, cartons, wood, aluminium foil and films. It supports different sub-drop volumes for extra versatility by using both the Xaar Irix 40 picolitre and 80 picolitre variants. Built-in recirculation and ink supply temperature control enable ‘consistent’ performance in ‘dynamic’ environments. In addition, the machine offers multi-level UV curing for adhesion on products with more challenging print requirements.
Xie Ruzhou, general manager at Codpad, stated, ‘This partnership enables us to open new possibilities in the market. The integration of Xaar Irix into our high-resolution UV inkjet coding machines will elevate our product performance and market competitiveness and we are very confident that our latest product launch will offer our customers the superior coding solutions required to meet their evolving needs.’
Samuel Tam, general manager at Xaar Asia, added, ‘We look forward to working together to jointly explore new market opportunities and provide end-users with the latest in high-quality coding and marking solutions.’
