9232 small character inkjet printer
The 9232 small character inkjet printer incorporates a number of features that deliver benefits to users in the food, drink, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, electronic, cable and extrusion industries.
The new addition to the 9000 series, the 9232 prints high-quality date codes, logos, alphanumeric text, 1D and 2D barcodes and other product and traceability information.
The new patented user interface features a 7in colour touch-screen, designed to make setup quick and easy, and display clear, real-time data about machine status, ink usage and maintenance procedures.
The ink cartridges, now with an even longer lifespan, can be changed without mess and without stopping the coding operation.
A new ink circuit and print head enables the 9232 to print at speeds of up to 6.6m/sec and a font height of up to 32 dots means print quality is excellent.
An optional 'ultra-rapid' print mode is available for extremely high-speed applications.
With a compact print-head and toughened umbilical line, the 9232 can withstand severe factory conditions.
Housed in an IP55 stainless-steel cabinet and requiring no plant air supply, the printer can be mounted vertically or on a tabletop, so that it can be accommodated on almost any production line.
This calculation measures the amount of uptime as a proportion of total manufacturing time available.
Power consumption is reduced and limited to a maximum of 60VA.
