We understand the challenges of the wood industry, ranging from complex regulations to technical hurdles, and offer coding and marking solutions tailored to these challenges.
Our technologies support internal processes such as production planning, machine networking, timber flow management and storage, as well as internal and external logistics. Traceability is also very important. This also includes customer information on dimensions and part numbers, branding with company logos and ensuring compliance with the requirements of the various sales markets, such as CE marking and IPPC. Reliable marking of wood products extends not only to the wood itself, but also to the outer packaging.
At LIGNA, we will be presenting our innovations and high-performance portfolio for individual ink, laser and labeling solutions.
Visit our booth and personalize your wooden puzzle piece using inkjet and laser technology. Then, attach your piece to our trade fair tree and help it grow! At the end of Ligna, we will support a tree-planting campaign in thanks you for participation. You will also receive a gift and have the chance to win a voucher in a prize drawing at the end of the trade fair.
Wood labeling for sawmills, timber and pallet plants
Wood production, processing and finishing
Companies face several challenges when processing natural raw materials such as wood. In addition to complying with legal requirements, it is important to optimize production processes in terms of efficiency and quality, especially in the area of marking. REA Coding and Marking Solutions consist of a broad product portfolio that is tailored to your requirements and can be integrated into your production process. You will benefit from over 30 years of experience in coding and marking systems for the wood industry. Tasks we frequently perform include applications such as printing large logos on the edge surfaces of stacked material, positioning markings, quality class markings and code printing for serialization and traceability. Depending on the production stage, surface finish and type of marking, our expert sales staff will find the optimal solution for you using inkjet printers, laser systems and labeling technology.
Our innovative heavy-duty impact protection revolutionizes wood marking in the construction timber industry. Especially developed for irregularly cut timber, this system offers high resolution marking with maximum safety. The integrated impact protection with slide and parallelogram reliably protects the print head from shocks and impacts. The robust design is designed to withstand direct material impacts without damage. A special feature is the automatic swiveling and return of the print head, which enables uninterrupted production. The heavy-duty impact protection is suitable for high speeds of up to 400 boards per minute, making it ideal for continuous industrial use. With this advanced protection system, you can increase your productivity and minimize downtime, even under the most demanding production conditions.
Wooden panels
The production of wood-based materials, such as OSB or chipboard, involves considerable logistical effort due to their size and design. Therefore, it is all the more important that marking be clearly readable, ideally on the edge of the product. Thanks to REA's marking and coding solutions, batch numbers, dimensions, standardizations, or CE markings can be applied during the production process in a contact-free and high-contrast manner. This enables clear identification of the wood products and ensures a smooth transportation process.
The marking of rough-sawn wood surfaces and freshly cut edges poses major challenges for conventional technologies, as they do not cope well with the specific properties of these surfaces. Poor adhesion, unclean print images, and dust pollution make this process more difficult.
The COâ‚‚ laser is the perfect solution: it produces a clearly legible, permanent markings even under demanding conditions.
With the COâ‚‚ laser, you can mark precisely and forgery-proof wood:
- The sharpest markings are possible - from company logos and dimensions to quality seals
- CE and IPPC marking - standard-compliant and permanent
- Reliable marking, even in dusty environments
Wood products, which stand out due to their treated or laminated surfaces, often offer only limited areas that are suitable for applying data and codes for consumer information and traceability. Spring or edge marking offers a very advantageous solution here. With REA marking and coding solutions in the area of small fonts and high resolution systems, even the narrowest material edges can be inconspicuously marked with product information, batch numbers and machine-readable codes.
In the production of sawn timber and profiles, sorting processes are essential for efficient processing of the raw material and to ensure safety and quality. The necessary marking of products at various stages of the process is an essential part of this process. It begins with the pre-sorting and marking of the logs and the application of cut marks. At the end of the timber production process, the corresponding strength classes and country-specific test marks can be applied contact-free during the process. Coding and Marking Solutions from REA are individually tailored to your needs and work reliably and cleanly even in rough industrial environments.
Tip: Large stacks of wood prepared for loading are ideal as advertising space for your company. With REA JET DOD 2.0 large character technology, you can print large logos that are easily recognizable even from a great distance.
With REA's high resolution marking and coding solutions, you can print your wooden products on the fly with consistently high quality and no downtime. The desired text content and logos are stored in the system and can be selected at any time via the device operating platform and made available to the printer.
