Product Pitch
Product detection starts the print process for each product. It is
important that the previous print cycle is complete before a new
print cycle can start. Product spacing and photocell mounting must
be such that print cycle is complete before next product is detected
by photocell. This is usually accomplished by ensuring that the
distance between photocell and Printhead is shorter than the
distance between products.
Environmental Factors
Series 6 systems will operate in ambient air temperatures ranging
from 50 º– 95º Fahrenheit. Humidity (non-condensing) can range
between 20% and 80%. Standard equipment cabinets are not water
resistant, however, NEMA – 4 controller cabinets are available as an
option for locations using water wash-down procedures.
Equipment Mounting
Equipment can be mounted directly onto conveyor line or in
stand-alone assemblies. Mounting to conveyors with high degree of
vibration may cause de-priming conditions and, consequently, poor
print quality. A typical installation is pictured below.
Caution : Mounting this way can be unstable unless stand is
anchored to the floor.
