Sprinter Marking Coders
Sprinter Marking offers both in-line and off-line code-marking machines. The in-line machine is independently mountable and offered in eight standard models of various sizes of marking heads. The off-line model is a stand alone benchtop model that may use any one of the eight standard Sprinter models. It comes assembled for immediate operation after air supply attachment, electrical plug in, and ink supply charging is completed. A foot switch is standard.

Model CC100 Contact Coder
Reciprocating Coder System
For intermittent coding operations, the Contact Coder prints logos, product codes, expiration dates, prices, etc. on boxes, bottles, cans, glass jars, plastic bags, metal parts and more. The versatile Contact Coder ink marks on a variety of substrates including plastic, metal, glass and paper. Pneumatically operated, the Contact Coder is a reciprocating printer that marks products and packages at rates up to 160 items per minute. The unit uses a gentle touch printhead that does not distort the type resulting in clear, crisp codes.
The Contact Coder can be integrated easily with form, fill & seal equipment, as well as with bagging and cartoning operations to form a complete packaging system. Additionally, the Contact Coder is well-suited
for industrial part identification and can be integrated into automated manufacturing lines. For manual operation, the two bench top models are ideal as stand-alone part marking stations.
