1-6-7. About Head maintenance mechanism
The head maintenance mechanism serves to maintain the performance of print heads.
The Maintenance unit incorporates the following mechanisms:
- Head cap mechanism
- Head cap cleaning mechanism
- Carriage locking mechanism
- Purging mechanism
- Air venting mechanism
- Head wiper mechanism
- Head wiper cleaner mechanism
Head cap mechanism
Mechanism designed to prevent head nozzles from drying and contamination of the head nozzle surface from dust by
closing the print head with a head cap when printer is idle.
Head cap requires cleaning at regular intervals.
Head cap cleaning mechanism
Mechanism designed to introduce cleaning solution within the head cap to prevent the ink on the nozzle surface from
drying when printer is idle.
The cleaning solution requires refill at regular intervals.
Carriage locking mechanism
Mechanism designed to secure the print head and carriage unit while printer is idle, powered OFF and during
transportation to prevent the head from being disengaged from the head cap mechanism by external impact and
vibration.
Purging mechanism
Mechanism designed to remove air bubbles and deteriorated ink from the head nozzle and clean the print head by
generating negative pressure with the tube pump to suck in the ink. The aspirated ink is discharged into the waste ink
tank through the ink disposal tube.
Air venting mechanism
Mechanism designed to vent the air accumulated within the tubings and head damper by pressing up the shutoff valve
within the print head air venting unit by raising the air venting rod within the air venting cap. The air venting mechanism is
operated automatically.
Air venting cap and air venting rod requires cleaning at regular intervals.
Head wiper mechanism
Head wiper wipes the ink remaining on the surface of the print head nozzles by moving carriage unit sideways under the
raised head wiper.
Head wiper requires cleaning at regular intervals.
