Обзор

Надежный каплеструйный принтер обеспечивает полное, простое и качественное решение задач промышленной маркировки практически в любом производственном секторе.

Печатает от одной до двух строк текста и графику высотой до 10 мм. Наносит дату (любые форматы), номер партии, смены, логотип и т.п.

Обтекаемый корпус из нержавеющей стали с классом защиты IP55, полностью закрытая конструкция печатающей головки гарантируют эффективное использование принтера на предприятиях, где возможен контакт с водой и в пыльных цехах.

Модель сочетает простоту и высокую эффективность работы с низкой стоимостью эксплуатации, что идеально подходит для решения задач маркировки на конвейерных линиях со скоростями до 6,25 м/с.

Возможности печати

  • Нанесение простой информации в 1 / 2 строки:
    — фиксированный текст
    — переменные данные (дата, время, номер смены, номер партии, счетчик)
    — функция сдвига даты
    — логотипы
  • Печать со скоростью до 6,25 м/сек
  • Размер символов от 1,4 до 9,5 мм
  • Максимальная длина сообщения 682 символа
  • Реверс, инверсия, переворот сообщения

Надежность и функциональность

  • Запуск и остановка струи по нажатию одной кнопки — также просто, как включить или выключить конвейер
  • Стальной корпус с оценкой IP55 — легко моется и допускает работу в пыльных и влажных помещениях
  • Чернильная система с бесщеточной помпой — не требуется замена дорогой детали на всем протяжении ‘жизни’ прибора
  • Автоматическая диагностика и электронный контроль параметров струи — никакого вмешательства в работу
  • Уникальная система автопромывки FullFlush™ — обеспечивает надежный запуск, допускает длительную остановку (до 30 дней) и требует ручной очистки печатающей головки не чаще 1 раза в месяц
  • Ударопрочная печатающая головка, без подвижных и регулируемых элементов — отсутствие простоев из-за неквалифицированного вмешательства в работу
  • Печать при любой ориентации печатающей головки относительно объекта без потери качества печати
  • Добавка чернил и растворителя без остановки печати — нет необходимости останавливать конвейерную линию
  • WYSIWYG дисплей, регулируемый контраст экрана и русифицированная QWERTY клавиатура — работа как на обычном компьютере
  • память на 50 сообщений и 100 логотипов — для минимального редактирования сообщений
