Skate & encoder
The built-in skate and encoder ensure the highest possible printing accuracy and quality; alongside the substrate handling, this provides precision printing every time. the substrate handling mechanism, irrespective of the type of press the printbar is mounted on, allows the printbar to accept the substrate and deliver it to the printheads closer than 0.8mm. This ensures maximum drop placement accuracy of the printed cots and a high quality print as standard.
Sync to mark
Dynamic synchronisation technology provided within the software/workflow ensures maximum uptime and quick registration with pre-printed substrates. A sync to mark reader built into the product can be moved into any position across the web to read marks, and once running can be in full registration within three to four image repeats.
LED pinning & mist extraction
Integrated LED pinning offers users maximum flexibility for the final cure where required for the desired application. The power of pinning can also be fully controlled offering even more flexibility. A vacuum is included to extract any ink mist associated with printing, improving print quality by removing unwanted ink particles before they contaminate the substrate.
Ink supply system
Our high flow recirculating ink supply system with exact temperature control and precise nozzle meniscus pressure control (ink flow rate) ensures optimal jetting operation.
Control cabinet
The Versatex Printbar includes a fully integrated and flexible control cabinet that houses all the necessary electronics and controls to drive the printbar and can be easily moved up to five metres away from it
Maintenance
Versatex Printbars are fitted with a fully integrated maintenance station to ensure maximum uptime and lowest possible "make ready" time. As standard the Printbar has an auto maintenance module that applies suction to each printhead between job printing and with no manual intervention by the operator. The recirculating ink system can also be left in standby mode in any printing breaks, to enable agility and flexibility within shifts.
Support
Whilst the Xaar Versatex Printbar has been designed for low maintenance and easy servicing, full technical support and service offers you peace of mind for when your engineers need assistance. Take advantage of our hands-on, practical training (on site or at Xaar), technical manuals and documentation, an online knowledge base, spare parts support, remote technical assistance, including remote connection to equipment.
Workflow
To make sure the printing process runs as seamlessly as possible, the Xaar Versatex Printbar comes with a 'TIFF catching' workflow as standard. The operator can simply drop a printable job into the software and make amendments on the fly. It can also be fully integrated with industry standard workflows such as Esko to send the output directly to print for maximum efficiency.
An easy way to add digital to your analogue press
Improve profitability with digital
Shorter setup times and a higher utlisation rate of on average 30%, compared to screen printing, can often result in small run jobs being completed in much less time that it takes to set up the screens.
Increased profit margins on short run jobs
- Lower overall cost of production
- Lower setup costs
- Increased production rages
- Faster make-ready
Lower overall cost of production
