Viscosity conrol :

· Compensation for varying ambient conditions.

The automatic, continuous viscosity control constantly adjusts the ink/solvent ratio. Ambient conditions change: temperature, humidity etc. This affects the quality of the ink and could eventually clog the nozzle. The Jet 2 uses a sensor to continuously measure the viscosity and adjust it accordingly. The cabinet's configuration is such, that no heat is conducted from the ink jet's operational and control mechanisms to the ink or solvent storage tanks. This is a feature you do not want to miss, if you cannot afford downtime.

The Jets can be easily integrated on existing lines or custom made marking solutions. Examples are marking of electronic parts in JEDEC trays (click here for sample application) or simple in-line marking. It works excellent as a stand-alone solution with a slide table (click here for sample application).

Easy to use

The Windows software or the handheld unit are easy to use and offer features that will make working and setting up the unit "a piece of cake".

In addition, the Jet 2 can be refilled during operation.

Application :

Automatic marking of parts in Trays

In this application, parts in JEDEC trays are ink-jet marked. The input/output stacks hold approx. 20, ¼" high trays. The trays are moved to the Ink-Jet. Each row of parts is marked by moving the Ink-Jet head across, than the tray is moved a row forward. It is a fully automated system, which can be used for various parts. In addition, it is very reliable and requires only minimum maintenance. To offer even more flexibility, the unit can be equipped with a second head. The cycle time is max. 1 minute per tray (incl. Marking and handling), depending on the size of the parts. This handling system can also be used with a laser.

Standalone Solution

Using a slide table, a turntable or a combination of both turns the versatile and reliable Jet-2 into an easy to use stand-alone marking solution. All kinds of parts can be marked with this configuration. Changeover time is minimal; it takes to loosen 2 screws and the system is ready to go. The turntable as well as the slide table is equipped with an encoder to synchronize the speed with the Jet 2, which guarantees uniform marking quality, regardless of the operator.

Wire Marking

Industries served: Cable harness, cable fabrication, roll-to-roll. The Jet 2, the industry's highest quality ink jet, offering high speed, dependable, precise marking.
Leibinger combines newly developed CAB-Jet software with a vast array of wire handling/transport systems. Particularly the colored/pigmented ink offers maximum adhesion and temperature stability, resistance to solvents and fade proof marking of round and flat cables.
