With the GRAPHIC TOOL, you can individually label switches, sockets, push-buttons and many other devices. A library offers a selection of symbols and logos. The JUNG GRAPHIC TOOL supports laser engraving, colour printing as well as the design of inscription fields.

PRINTING

Two procedures – high-quality products

When applying printing to JUNG components, we use two procedures: pad printing and colour printing. The former is an indirect rotogravure procedure where the colour is transferred from the printing plate to the switch with an elastic pad made of silicon rubber. The image is transferred to the printing plate with a positive film (known as an offset film or matte film). The advantage of this print transfer is the plasticity of the pad. With this, the (always single-colour) printing of curved surfaces (convex, concave or grainy) is possible – the image is transferred to the printing plate. The transfer of colour onto the printing substrate is virtually 100 percent due to the silicon oil of the pad. In addition, different sizes in a wide variety of colours can be printed. Pad printing is particularly suited to large volumes and has a particular effect on dark surfaces. Colour printing complements pad printing where the desired volumes are relatively low. Even down to single items, colour printing can make printing economical (JUNG uses the ink-jet process). Furthermore, dynamic images can be achieved with colour printing along with the possibility of various types of individual design, such as complex colour gradients. In the process, the image is transferred from a computer to a printing machine without needing a static image. In the subsequent thermal curing process, the ink penetrates the printed material. Colour printing is particularly suitable for light surfaces.

LASERING

Laser engraving refines the surfaces

Switches with an individual name or a portrait, a KNX push-button with the respective functionality or a socket with the relevant circuit name: laser engraving gives products an individual note. Practically every design can be applied to the widest variety of materials with the help of laser engraving. The high-precision laser beam heats the material very strongly. As a result, laser engraving cannot be used on all products. Depending on the exposure time, this changes the colour in contrast or the material vaporises or burns. This engraving is permanent and very resistant to abrasion.

LABELLING

Individually design devices with inscription fields

For numerous products we can identify inscription fields individually with text, symbols or motifs. On request, in colour as well. Then you may use your own printer to simply print the created labels on paper or foil. Cut to size, put behind the inscription fields and the function allocation is immediately clear and understandable for everyone.
