RECIPROCATING CODERS

RCN Reciprocating Coders, for Intermittent-Motion Applications, produce sharp, fast-drying marks on products and packaging film.

These coders print from one to three lines of small-character text directly on your product with a wide selection of ink types and colors. Mark on a variety of surfaces including: boxes, bags, jars, cans, labels, blister packs, and small plastic or metal parts.

We offer four types of RCN Reciprocating Coders: Basic, Electric, All-Air and a combination Electric/Air. These coders work well with intermittent-motion conveyors or off-line semi-automatic operations, marking up to 80 products per minute. Use neoprene DiLok type and ink cartridges with quick-drying inks. Consult your Diagraph representative for the appropriate RCN coder, accessories and ink for your application.

The Basic RCN/1S Reciprocating Coder

The RCN basic unit has no triggering controls and uses the four-way valve and timing device of your existing equipment. This eliminates the need for duplicate controls. Easy to install, the RCN provides four holes for stable mounting to the parent equipment. On-line operation is simple and reliable. When the unit is triggered, compressed air moves the shaft up so the type contacts and rotates the ink cartridge, and then moves the shaft and freshly inked type down to mark the product surface.

All-Air RCN/1AC Reciprocating Coder

These all-air powered coder systems include a product detector switch and self-cycling air logic. For a consistent, high quality mark, a dwell adjustment knob controls the time the printhead stays in contact with the product surface. The all-air system is popular for heavy products or applications where electricity is not readily available or not desired. It is the best choice when environmental conditions, such as explosion-proof and wash-down areas, do not allow electricity.
