Jib Marker Solutions for Moving Pipe
The InfoSight I-DENT® Jib Marker for Moving Pipe is the ultimate solution when it comes to non-contact stencil marking on moving pipe.

The I-DENT® marking head is capable of producing a full range of upper case alphanumeric characters 3/4” to 6” (19mm to 152mm) high. Systems can be configured to produce OCR (Optical Character Recognition) characters and InfoSight NUMBRA® barcodes allowing the pipe to be machine readable.

A wide variety of inks are available to meet most marking applications. Specific inks have been developed to handle normal, oily and high temperature pipe.

The ink system control panel contains valves for different mode selections and is used for normal operation, cleanup and maintenance operations.
