Canada. As such, GEM staff will join
KBA-Metronic staff as co-exhibitors. A visit
to the stand will be an opportunity to see
the latest in continuous ink jet printers well
suited for wire and cable applications.
It will also be a chance to discuss the
latest ink innovations from GEM. The new
high temperature ink jet inks for marking
BKG7761 Black Ink and GNG7765 green
ink are growing in popularity. They are
used for marking FEP, ETFE and PTFE prior to
sintering. This type of printing has historically
been done with contact markers without
the option of variable information, or
serialisation.
Anothernew inkofferingfromGEM, BLG1866,
is an aqua coloured ink for all colours of
wire. It provides exceptional adhesion to
a variety of jacketing materials. A sister ink
to WTG1860 white wire harness ink, the new
blue ink’s popularity has grown rapidly.

InfoSight
Booth: 06G21
InfoSight addresses many marking
challenges for the wire, pipe, tube and
steel industries – helping manufacturers
reduce costs, increase product traceability
and eliminate errors.
It is now possible to track the entire wire
production process with one barcoded
tag – from beginning to end – without
re-attachment and without re-identification
after the pickling and/or annealing process.
Barcoding provides:
• Improved traceability of each piece back
to the parent material
• Automatic data collection during
processing
• Error proofing and tracking
• Inventory accuracy and improved
efficiency in taking inventory
• Improved shipping accuracy
• Field identification
Plastic and paper tags used in the past had
the potential to make the inventory process
easier with their ability to hold barcoded
