Videojet Technologies launched the Videojet 1880 continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer.
According to the company, the Videojet 1880 is designed to help users proactively prevent manufacturing downtime using advanced, digitally-enabled technology to deliver excellent performance.
The Videojet 1880 features the advanced MAXIMiZE diagnostics platform that monitors printer health and performance patterns and helps operators easily identify if a fault is likely to occur.
“For many of our customers, an hour of production loss is an hour too many," said Mithun Ramachandran, CIJ Business Unit director at Videojet. "With the Videojet 1880 Continuous Inkjet printer, we not only want to provide best-in-class reliability and uptime but also deliver a suite of built-in diagnostics, remote service and recovery tools. We expect these solutions to give our customers and Videojet the ability to see, understand and take action from anywhere at any time."
The 1880 printhead incorporates a sensor that enables the printer to detect ink build-up in the printhead and subsequently notify an operator of potential code quality issues. Then, with the push of a button, an operator can activate the new auto-rinse feature to remove ink build-up within 90 seconds, the company said.
