New Videojet 1000 Line High Resolution Continuous Inkjet Printers Meet Micro Printing Needs

NAVI MUMBAI, India, April 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

    Manufacturers in the electronics
[http://www.videojet.in/in/homepage/industry-solutions/electrical-components-and-electronics.html ]
, components and cable sectors, as well as other industries requiring ultra-small
printing capabilities, can now benefit from high quality micro printing with advanced
uptime thanks to the new 1650 High Resolution (HR) and 1620 HR Continuous Inkjet (CIJ)
printers [http://www.videojet.in/in/homepage/products/continuous-inkjet-printers.html ]
from Videojet Technologies. Enhanced micro printing capabilities of the new printers
achieve high-resolution, quality printing of characters as small as 0.6 mm in height, and
speeds of up to 348 meters per minute. The 40 micron nozzle enables the 1650 HR and 1620
HR systems to print 2D bar codes and highly legible alphanumeric multiline codes at high
speeds on integrated circuits, small-diameter cables and other products with limited
printing space, optimizing traceability for manufacturers without compromising line
productivity.

    The new HR micro printers build-off the highly successful Videojet 1000 Line platform
and the application-tested 'Ultra-High-Speed' nozzle innovations that Videojet released in
2013. With tens of thousands of successful installations, the 1000 line platform continues
to be the standard for CIJ uptime performance. The new HR printer nozzle leverages the
proprietary Precision Ink Drop[TM] technology which allows the nozzle to operate at over
100,000 drops per second via the advanced high frequency printhead design, which together
with sophisticated software algorithms, modifies the flight path of individual ink drops
for optimal code quality. Anthony Blencowe, Business Unit Director for CIJ at Videojet
Technologies, explained: "Manufacturers using micro print place a premium on print
quality. The 1650 HR and 1620 HR incorporate these enhancements plus specialised rasters
to overcome the print quality challenges inherent in shortened character heights and fast
line speeds. Manufacturers can now print more data with better legibility, at faster line
speeds, often in the same, limited print area."

    The new HR printers feature Videojet patented CleanFlow(TM) technology, which reduces
ink build-up on nozzle ends, enabling the printers to run longer than traditional micro
printing systems between nozzle cleaning intervals, significantly cutting maintenance
requirements. The printhead offers automated cleaning, supporting faster system start-ups
even after extended line shut downs, increasing production uptime. An internal pump
eliminates the need for external air, lowering the risk of contaminants in the ink stream,
further boosting print consistency.

    Complementing the advanced nozzle technology, the HR printers use a range of
specialised halogen-free inks, which offer abrasion, temperature and chemical-resistance.
All inks can be used on RoHS compliant products (EC 2011/65/EU Annex II) to meet the
specific needs of the electronics industry. This allows the printing of durable,
wear-resistant codes that are suitable for a host of applications including printing on
heat sinks, capacitors, connectors and high insulation tapes.

    In common with the other 1000 Line Videojet CIJ printers, the 1650 HR and 1620 HR high
speed inkjet printers
[http://www.videojet.in/in/homepage/products/continuous-inkjet-printers/videojet-ultra-high-speed-printers.html ]
feature the Smart Cartridge(TM) fluid system that helps to ensure
that only the correct ink is selected for each product, supporting electronics and wire
and cabling manufacturers who may be using multiple ink types. The printers use a needle
and septum to draw ink from each cartridge, eliminating the risk of spillages and reducing
waste. This offers a real advantage in the clean environments commonly found in micro
print applications.

    To meet manufacturers' specific operational needs, both HR systems offer unique
features to aid functionality for line personnel. The 1650 HR features the Videojet
exclusive CLARiTY(TM) touchscreen, which offers built-in productivity tools to help boost
OEE and enhance line efficiency. The 1620 HR comes with a keypad interface that is robust
and easy-to-use with minimal training, facilitating simple and speedy product changeovers.

    Blencowe added, "The 1650 HR and 1620 HR are uniquely designed to deliver what is most
critical to manufacturers requiring micro print capability - provide the highest print
quality down to the smallest size code, even at high speeds. Serious investment in R&D has
helped us really understand the demanding conditions that customers in electronics and
wire and cable plants operate in, to which these printers can deliver."
