One Printer Multiple Configurations

Take your ideas from concept to process

Single pass inkjet printing is ideal for a wide variety of high-volume manufacturing applications. The DICElab Process Development Digital Printing Press is a modular print system that uses the proven DICEblade modular digital printing system to deposit inks and other fluids onto a variety of substrates. This enables manufacturers to quickly bring new inkjet applications from concept to production, using real world production printheads.

Applications include:

• Materials and process development ("from lab to fab")
• Ink & functional fluid performance testing with different substrates
• Printhead performance testing
• Cure lamp testing
• Visual inspection of roll-fed products
• Narrow web product printing (e.g. labels, tickets, tags) with fixed or variable data and barcodes
• Printing on 3D objects (with conveyor option)

The DICElab is built up from a series of modules, so it is highly configurable and expandable. A basic configuration includes the following:

1. Two Core Chuck Servo Blocks
2. Web Extension Block
3. Machine base
4. Printbar with mount space for 10 DICEblades with automatic nozzle-plate cleaning
5. Supports multiple printhead types from leading manufacturers
6. Motorized Printbar Mount (X-Z stage with theta cams)
7. Compact Recirculating Ink Supply with Mount, Cables & Controls, supporting Autofill, Autoflush, Temperature & Flow Control
8. Control Rack with Drive Electronics Power distribution, Ink Support Modules, PC & Software

Items 1 and 2 form the basis of the roll-to-roll material transport system, and items 4-7 essentially comprise the well proven DICEbase inkjet print engine. Additional material user exchangeable transport options:

• Conveyor
• Slide-table

Superior Technology

Many small web printers use cheap motors and pneumatic brake/clutch systems to control web speed and tension. The DICElab printer uses two core chuck servo blocks for precise web control to:

• Run at constant linear web speed from the beginning of the roll to the end
• Run forward and backward without removing material from the system, allowing the system to backup and review printing without removing material from a roll.
• Provide precise tension control avoids damage to delicate substrates
• Allow the introduction of additional processes such as coating stations and lamination stations while maintaining uniform web tension.
