CIJ Inkjet printers

Non-conforming product marking or reconciliation

We integrate Videojet 1280/ VJ1580+

The unit has been fully integrated into the machine control panel what enables a wide range of benefits

 

For the operator:
Possibility of having a single panel where every machining parameter can be configured

For net plant productivity:
Reduction of setup time and guarantee of constant and correct functioning of the unit

Non-conforming Product Marking Functionality

The machine process automatically handles the marking of non-conforming products by integrating it within the error management process chosen for production.

Functionality of printing on the back of the material

The machine process automatically manages the printing of variable data on the back of the material (liner) for each reconciliation requirement by integrating their management within the error management process chosen for production.

Ability to integrate other third-party CIJ systems

Other third-party CIJ printing systems can be integrated upon development of the command-and-control interface.

TTO Printer

Spark Cam™

Vision inspection system

What is SPARK CAM?

SPARK CAM™ is a high-performance vision inspection system fully designed and built by our R&D department to control print quality during production.

 

The system reliability is also the result of more than two decades of direct market experience with some of the most popular inspection systems including: Decosystem and Lake image.

  • For the operator:
    Possibility of having a single panel where every machining parameter can be configured
  • For net plant productivity:
    Reduction of setup time and guarantee of constant and correct functioning of the unit

Single system to manage the Print Ǫuality of graphics and Variable

Single system where two control macro areas can be activated with different libraries related to specific production needs:

 

Print Ǫuality Inspection:

Libraries for the inspection of security elements, scratches, smears, streaks, stains, ink splashes, ghost effects, torn material, creases, color deviation, …

Thanks to our vision engineering department, it is, in addition, possible to directly develop customized control features.

 

Print Ǫuality inspection of Variable Data:

Libraries for OCR control (with a full range of fonts/special characters), machine readable codes also with grading features according to international standards:

  • ISO 15416 for 1D Barcode grading
  • ISO 15415 for 2D barcode grading

With a wide range of codes and encoding protocols including: ǪRcode, Data Matrix, … and with GS1 coding standards, ….

Wide range of available templates

Due to the fact that we make our inspection systems in-house, Graphimecc can meet any production requirement.

Available are:

  • Matrix cameras
  • Linear cameras
  • CIS cameras

both black-and-white or color systems, and with a wide range of resolutions to fit every inspection specification.

Spark Jet™

Inkjet printer

What is SPARK JET?

SPARK Jet™, is an inkjet printing system completely designed and built by our R&D department to go beyond the frequent limitations of traditional printing systems.

 

The system reliability is also the result of more than two decades of direct market experience with some of the manufacturers of the most popular inkjet printing systems such as: Domino, Videojet, REA JET.

System fully integrated into the machine control panel

The system is fully integrated into the machine control panel which enables a wide range of advantages:

 

  • For the operator:
    Possibility of having a single panel where every machining parameter can be configured
  • For net plant productivity:
    Reduction of setup time and guarantee of constant and correct functioning of the unit

High performance and print quality

SPARK JET™ offers different print resolutions depending on the production speed. Thus, you can get a high-quality product (600x600dpi) or lose definition slightly to increase production speed.

Modular print height

Each printing module has a printing height of 54mm.

The SPARK JET printing system is fully modular and can be composed to achieve the desired print height without any limitation.

Wide range of inks that can be used

SPARK JET™ can be configured to print with different base inks:

  • UV-based ink
  • Solvent-based ink
  • Water-based ink

This flexibility allows adaptation to the widest range of materials, managing every production requirement.

Single-color, multi-color system

SPARK JET™ is available in two versions:

  • Single-color system (typically for black prints but also for other colors)
  • Multi-color system (typically for C-M-Y-K prints)

Automatic cleaning system

To maximise the durability of SPARK JET™ print heads, we have developed an automatic cleaning system that is fully managed via the machine’s central panel. This system cleans the heads every X hours of printing (with X being a parameter that can be adjusted according to the characteristics of the print and substrate) and positions them so that they rest in a way that protects them from ink drying inside the nozzles.

 

Furthermore, as it is fully motorised, it allows for easy and precise adjustment of the print head’s height and transverse position relative to the material.

High-precision adjustment holder

Each SPARK JET™ system is equipped, as a basic feature, with a high-precision adjustment system that, in the absence of the automatic cleaning system, allows the adjustment of the printer position both in height (distance from the substrate) and in transverse position with respect to the material.

 

With this option, the head cleaning and resting activities are manual.

Spark RFID™

RFID antenna and reader

What is Spark RFID?

Spark RFID™ is a system completely designed and built by our R&D department and allows to control and encode any RFID TAG (UHF, HF, NFC, BLE and RF, …), ensuring maximum reliability and efficiency.

 

The system reliability is also the result of continuous collaboration with chip and Inlay manufacturers such as:

Modular system that can be configured according to individual needs

Due to its modular structure SPARK RFID can be configured in different modes to allow the best productivity according to production needs and the type of RFID to be processed.
