directly on metal parts and components is needed to ensure internal and external traceability, prevent counterfeiting and protect brand identity. Manufacturers must be able to track their parts from the moment they leave the production line to when they become obsolete at the customers\u2019 end. Therefore, accuracy and reliability of code application is a must.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metal parts and components vary in shape and size, so it can be difficult to find a coding and marking solution flexible enough to apply durable and reliable codes onto even the smallest items using very small code sizes. Linx has invested many years of engineering expertise in developing reliable and precise marking equipment for laser and ink-marking metal parts, packaging and products.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suitable for typically high production speeds, Linx CIJ and laser machines can perform in wet, dusty or chemically treated processes. Plus, metal parts also tend to go through rigorous quality control procedures, so easily readable, high-quality marking is imperative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marquage-sur-tubes-en-metal.jpg?w=971\" alt=\"Print sample on metal\" class=\"wp-image-18769\" title=\"Print sample on metal\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To find out&nbsp;more information and to request your samples with no obligation, click the button below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/sample-printing\/\">Request Print Sample<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-applications-of-metal-part-marking\">Applications of Metal Part Marking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your business requirements, you might need to code and mark on raw, painted, coated or varnished metal. Printing on metal is widely used by many industries, such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/automotive\/\">Automotive&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>: Metal sheets, brake pads, components&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/construction\/\">Construction&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>: Roofing, sheets, tubes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/food-industry\/\">Food&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>: Lids, packaging&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/beverage\/\">Beverage&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>: Cans, screw caps&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/pharmaceuticals\/\"><strong>Pharma&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a>: Pots, lids, packaging&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/extrusions\/\">Extrusion&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>: Pipes&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linxglobal.com\/en-gb\/coding-solutions\/industries\/electronics\/\">Electronics&nbsp;<\/a><\/strong>: Circuit boards, chips&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-printing-on-metal-and-steel-nbsp\">Printing on Metal and Steel&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When thinking about the right technology to apply codes onto your metal or steel products, you have to consider the conditions in which the production process takes place, as well as what the substrate itself is subjected to. Extreme weather conditions, temperature fluctuations from very low to very high, processing and moulding of elements and different surface treatments and finishes all have a huge effect on code adherence. If you choose laser, for robust and permanent coding, or inkjet, for wet and difficult conditions, you always need your text to be readable and to last.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linx CIJ and Laser printers are perfect for marking and coding onto the following substrates:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Steel\/stainless steel&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Iron&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Copper&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Brass&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Aluminium&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Gold&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-small-font-size\">Silver&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During the production process, a metal part or product very often doesn\u2019t just move along, it also turns and is manipulated to fit the production line at speed. This is where making sure your coding and marking stays in line becomes important. Linx printers provide a flexible solution that can be adjusted to your production needs. Our dedicated installation team assesses your process, and install the machines safely to suit your needs. Whether you want to mark on steel coils, pipes, large tubes, sheets or other construction profiles, we will help you find the right printer tailored to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-navi-blue-color has-text-color\" id=\"h-printing-on-coated-metal\">Printing on Coated Metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We provide a variety of product identification coding solutions suitable for coding and marking packaging, components and products made from coated metal.
