2 - GENERAL INTRODUCTION
The Hot Quick Coder (henceforth
HQC
) has been developed to apply small texts of one to three lines (max. line length 25 mm)
on a production line. The applications vary from loose products to a continuous product (e.g. packaging film).
2.1
The Hot Quick Coder
1 Preheating
2 Ink Roll
3 Type holder
The code to be printed is applied to an exchangeable type
holder via text characters or blocks. The type holder is inked
with a Ink Roll which only delivers the inked (wax-based) at
high temperature. The Ink Roll is kept at temperature in the
heating ring of the HQC.
2.2
The Control box
A good print quality is achieved with a correct combination of stamping time, stamping pressure, temperature of the type
holder and the setting of any counter-pressure plate.
The text can be applied to a stationary or a moving product. The maximum permitted product speed is 195 Feet/min. approx.
250 impressions per minute can be produced.
! WARNING:
After using the HQC, it cannot simply be deactivated. For the correct procedure read section 8 “Deactivating the Hot Quick
Coder”
