Xaar 1001 Animation
Xaar Proton Animation
Air Bubble Removal Animation
This animation shows air bubble removal. With TF TechnologyTM the printhead automatically recovers and the air bubbles are removed from the channels, ideal for applications where uptime is critical.
Acoustic Wave Animation
This animation shows the acoustic waves moving along the channels. This method of drop ejection is very efficient and higher frequencies can be achieved.
Binary Animation
A traditional binary printhead ejects single drops of ink of the same size from each nozzle to priint an image. This animation show binary ejection in action.
Chevron Animation
This animation shows 'chevron' actuation in three channel walls. The chevron design is very energy efficient, reducing the required driving voltage..
Continuous Priming Animation
The animation shows Xaar's patented TF TechnologyTM in action with arrows representing the flow of ink. This technology delivers unprecedented reliability, reduced maintenance cycles and consistent drop formation.
Fluid Optimisation Animation
This animation simulates drop formation for both an optimised and non-optimised fluid/waveform combination.
Greyscale / variable drop Animation
This animation shows how a range of drop sizes can be formed using smaller drops enabled by Xaar's multi-pulse technology.
Selectable Binary Animation
This animation shows how selectable binary works. the optimum drop size to print the image can be selected from a range of drop volumes and is fixed for the whole image.
Shared Wall Animation
This animation shows channel walls influencing the drop ejection of neighbouring channels.
Shear Mode Animation
This animation shows three piezo crystal walls shearing from side to side. Shear mode gives a larger movement for less energy.
