Case Study

Heavy Equipment Manufacturer Marks Components with Industrial Ink Printer

A heavy equipment manufacturer producing hydraulic cylinders needed permanent markings in a harsh factory environment. NOVA's industrial ink printer with metal-bonding UV inks withstand 200°C temperatures, hydraulic fluid, and 1,000+ abrasion cycles. The printer operates in non-climate-controlled conditions with 24/7 production. Over three years, the manufacturer printed 6.2 million components with zero marking failures. The rugged construction withstood dust and temperature variations. Predictive maintenance prevented eight potential breakdowns, saving $320,000. The manufacturer now uses NOVA printers across five facilities.

Automotive Supplier Implements Industrial Ink Printer for Traceability

An automotive supplier needed traceability markings on metal components in a high-volume production environment. NOVA's industrial ink printer with visual positioning achieved ±0.05mm accuracy at 3,600 components per hour. UV-cured inks withstand 150°C and oil exposure. Over two years, the supplier printed 12 million components with 99.98% readability. The industrial printer's automated cleaning maintained quality across 8,000-hour operation intervals. The supplier reduced traceability costs by 45% and achieved ISO certification for the marking process.

Packaging Company Uses Industrial Ink Printer for High-Volume Production

A packaging company needed an industrial ink printer for high-volume cylindrical container printing. NOVA's printer handles container diameters from 20mm to 150mm at 3,000 units per hour. UV-cured inks resist alcohol and chemical exposure. Within 14 months, the company increased production by 35%, added 120 new clients, and grew revenue by 65%. The industrial printer's reliability enabled continuous 24/7 operation. Quick-change tooling reduced job switching to under 6 minutes. The company now operates three NOVA industrial ink printers.
