In automobile manufacturing, heavy machinery and rail transit supply chains, automobile shock-absorbing leaf springs are key components that carry the core load of vehicles, and their factory identification (such as product model, production batch, barcode and brand).Logo) The clarity and wear resistance are directly related to quality traceability throughout the life cycle. For a long time, the leaf spring industry has mainly relied on traditional screen printing (silk screen) technology for identification and marking. However, with the tightening of digital production and environmental protection policies, the disadvantages of traditional silk screen printing processes, inability to print variable data, and serious environmental pollution have become increasingly prominent.
In order to break the pain point of this industry,SHICAIlaunchedDesigned for metal and heavy industry surfacesCH3UVHigh-resolution handheldUVInkjet printer. This equipment directly assigns high-precision codes on the surface of the shock-absorbing leaf spring, making it the ideal first choice to replace traditional screen printing with the subversive advantages of spraying and drying immediately.

Traditional screen printingvs CH3UV handheld inkjet printer: A comparison of five core advantages
1.Say goodbye to cumbersome processes and realize“One-click coding”
Traditional screen printing: It needs to go through more than ten processes such as plate making, screen drawing, printing, ink conditioning, manual scraping, drying and subsequent screen washing. Every time the batch or model is changed, the screen plate must be re-created, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
CH3UVInkjet printer: Pure digital control is adopted without any plate making tools. The operator only needs to enter text or enter the text through theUdisc/Import data through the network and you can directly print on the leaf spring. Switching production batches takes only a few seconds.
2.Support "variable data" and dynamic barcode
Traditional screen printing:You can only print completely fixed static patterns or words, which cannot be satisfied at all."One thing, one code" or modern traceability requirements that generate production time in real time.
CH3UVInkjet printer: supports real-time dynamic data spray printing. It can automatically generate incremental serial numbers, real-time system time, and QR codes containing specific production information/Bar codes allow each shock-absorbing leaf spring to have a unique "digital ID card".
3.UVThe ink has strong adhesion, fast curing and corrosion resistance
Traditional screen printing:Most car leaf springs are rough metal surfaces or coated surfaces. Silk screen inks dry slowly and easily fall off and blur when handling, stacking friction, or contacting anti-rust oil.
CH3UVInkjet printer: Equipped with advanced built-inLED UVCuring lamp.UVThe ink is cured by ultraviolet light at the moment it is ejected, achieving "spray and dry". The cured logo has excellent wear resistance, solvent resistance, and scratch resistance. Even if the leaf spring is stored in the open air or in harsh transportation environments, the logo is still clearly readable.
4.Green and environmentally friendly, zero net washing pollution
Traditional screen printing:Washing water, discarding screens andVOCs(Volatile organic compounds) emissions are serious and do not meet the increasingly stringent environmental impact assessment requirements.
CH3UVInkjet printer: adopts a closed ink bag design, no ink volatilization, no solvent is needed to clean the screen, the on-site environment is clean and tidy, and it can easily pass the corporate green environmental protection audit.
5.Comprehensive operating costs have been significantly reduced
Although the cost of a single ink for screen printing is low, the overall cost is high if the material costs for frequent plate making, manual screen cleaning costs, drying energy consumption and return losses caused by blurred logos are included.CH3UVThe handheld inkjet printer realizes intelligent one-person operation, eliminating all intermediate consumables and greatly saving comprehensive labor and time costs.
Core technical parameters of SHICAI CH3UV handheld inkjet printer
In order to allow various technical and procurement departments to more intuitively understand the powerful performance of the equipment, the following are:SHICAI CH3UVcore parameter configuration of:
Customer case confirmation
A well-known heavy truck shock-absorbing leaf spring manufacturer used to use screen printing logos. Due to the difficulty in drying the ink, leaf springs often have signs smeared during subsequent bundling and handling, resulting in frequent returns from the main engine factory and the high cost of plate making during frequent batch changes.
introducedSHICAI CH3UVHandheld high resolutionUVAfter the inkjet printer, the factory ushered in complete changes:
are twice as efficient:The operator holds a portable equipment and slides over the single surface of the leaf spring. With the built-in encoder, the text and text will never stretch or deform.
Spray and dry:built-inUVThe lights are illuminated synchronously, and the ink is completely dried in an instant. Leaf springs can be stacked immediately and transported by forklifts, with zero wear on the mark, and the return rate is directly reduced to zero.
One machine is dual-use: handheld operation in small batches; in large batches, the equipment can be quickly fixed on the assembly line bracket, and combined with an external photoelectric sensor, it can be transformed into an "online automatic UV inkjet printer" in seconds.
Summary: Moving towards digitalization and intelligence of logos
Today, when lean production and comprehensive quality traceability are emphasized, traditional screen printing has gradually failed to meet the fast pace and high standards of modern auto parts manufacturing industry.SHICAI CH3UVhandheldUVThe inkjet printer relies on its“No plate making, dynamic variable, instant curing, green and environmentally friendly”The hard-core technology of the company perfectly replaces the traditional screen printing in the production of shock-absorbing leaf springs. This is not only an upgrade of identification tools, but also an important step to help enterprises transform digital factories.
