Case Study

Conical Cup Manufacturer Achieves Full 360° Coverage

A manufacturer of conical paper cups needed full-color printing on tapered surfaces, which standard cylindrical printers could not handle. NOVA custom-engineered a rotary system with adaptive printhead positioning that maintains consistent distance from the substrate surface throughout the taper. The system prints vibrant graphics at 60 cups per minute with zero distortion. The manufacturer now offers premium customized cups for events and promotions, achieving 45% higher margins on custom orders while reducing setup time by 80%.

Automotive Parts Supplier Implements Robotic Printing Cell

An automotive supplier required printing on engine components with complex geometries that could not be fed through conventional printers. NOVA designed a robotic printing cell combining a 6-axis robot with a UV inkjet printhead. The robot positions the printhead precisely over each component surface, printing identification codes and logos with ±0.1mm accuracy. The custom system reduced marking time by 70% and eliminated manual labeling errors, achieving 99.99% traceability accuracy.

Medical Device Manufacturer Achieves Sterile Marking

A medical device manufacturer needed permanent, biocompatible markings on surgical instruments without damaging sterilized surfaces. NOVA developed a custom UV inkjet system with low-heat LED curing and specialized medical-grade inks. The system prints at 120 instruments per hour with resolution sufficient for tiny 2D codes. The manufacturer achieved full FDA traceability compliance and eliminated laser marking that previously caused surface degradation and rejects.

NOVA's custom inkjet printing systems are designed from the ground up to solve specific production challenges. Our process begins with a comprehensive application assessment to understand substrate characteristics, production speed requirements, space constraints, and quality standards. We then engineer a complete solution including printhead selection, ink formulation, transport mechanisms, curing systems, and control software. NOVA utilizes multiple printhead technologies including RICOH Gen6 and RISO CF3R series, selecting the optimal configuration for each application. Our ink development team formulates custom UV-curable inks for challenging substrates including glass, metals, ceramics, and engineered plastics. We integrate advanced features such as visual positioning for accurate registration on irregular surfaces, variable data capabilities for serialization and traceability, and inline inspection for quality assurance. Transport systems are customized for each product shape—whether flat, cylindrical, conical, or free-form—with servo-driven precision and automated loading options. Our software platform supports integration with existing MES and ERP systems, enabling seamless data flow and production monitoring. Installation, training, and ongoing support are provided by NOVA's experienced engineering team. With modular designs that allow future upgrades, NOVA custom systems represent long-term investments that evolve with your production needs. Our commitment to relentless innovation ensures every custom solution delivers exceptional performance and value.
