Control of Inkjet and Laser Marking Units
Do you print products in the process with a length measurement? However, the length varies depending on the products surface, speed or movement ramp? Tactile encoders which control inkjet printers or laser marking systems rely on a slip-free implementation of the product movement into a rotational movement. Especially with smooth, moist, soft, slightly fluctuating or abrasive material surfaces, slippage and wear should be a problem. Non-contact μSPEED length measurement systems do not have these problems. μSPEED systems are able to achieve a consistently high measurement accuracy on a wide variety of surfaces and thus print a consistently correct measure of length.
Typical materials with printed length scales:
- Paper, Cardboard, Tissue, …
- Film, foil, plastic packaging
- Textiles, carpets, nonwoven, fabric
- Webs, sheets, foils of metal
- Cable, wire, rope
- Profiles, tubes, strands
- Control cabinet back panels
Typical machines with measurement problems:
- Roll Cutter, Cross Cutter
- Winding machines, Rewinders
- Lengthwise cutter
- Printing presses
- Web presses
- Doctor Roller
- Inkjet printers
- Laser marking systems
