9018

Printer description:-
9018 printer is a continuous ink Jet printer mainly composed of:
Principle of operation:- The principle of operation is based on various
monitoring of the ink pressure  Jet speed  ink concentration.
Monitoring is conditioned by the state of the Jet. & Jet is not ready: the ink circuit is
controlled by the monitoring of the ink pressure. When the ink pressure (AccP) reaches the
reference value (RefP ± 50mbars), the jet can starts. When the jet starts, it is controlled by the
monitoring of the jet speed, it shall reach the reference jet speed (20m/s).Monitoring of
concentration allows maintaining the ink concentration to the reference value, if the
concentration is out of the nominal range, the printer can add additive in the tank to reduce
the gap. The concentration is materialized by a curve “Pressure vs Temperature”. If all the
monitoring conditions are met, the jet is ready to print.

Advanced Consumables Management :- The Advanced

Consumables Management is composed of a RFID system, implemented in the printer,
which is able to identify Markem - Imaje consumables.
The customer’s benefits are: No mistake with consumables references recognition, Optimum
marking/printer performances, Identification of out-of-date cartridges, MI consumables
authenticity proven.
The RFID design meats the ISO15693 standards. Each consumable is equipped with a
TAG.The printer has an active reader (RFID board), which transmits interrogator signals and
also receives authentication replies from tags situated on the consumable cartridge and from
the M6’ module. The TAG contains ink or additive reference, batch number, expiry date and
volume. The RFID board transmits to the CPU all data from the TAG. These data are used
to manage different functionalities of the printer (fluid levels, ink characteristics and
validity...).
Printer configurations:-

Print-Head :-
 Mono-jet print head
 Nozzle 72 μm, G print head with nominal resolution of 2.8 dots/mm
 Automatic nozzle cleaning system
 Regulation of the jet speed
 8.ADP Board
9. ELV Value-4

Electronic compartment:- The electronic compartment is located on the

left side of the printer.( Power supply ,Main CPU board ,EHT Block & display.
Hydraulics:-
Hydraulic compartment:- The hydraulic compartment is easily accessible
on the right side of the printer by unlocking the M6’ support.
RFID board:- The board is located in the bottom of the hydraulic compartment.
The board has two (2) functions:
RFID function: Transmission/Reception of data from/to TAG,
IC function: it provides supplies to ELV, pumps, transmitted from sensors.
