Extrusion International 5-2024

19 Extrusion International 5/2024 Production Reliability Maximized by Uninterruptible Power Supply for Printers  Even after power outages in production, LEIBINGER’s new IQJET industrial printers are immediately ready to re - sume operation. Controlled shutdown with a closed ink circuit is assured by their innovative uninterruptible power supply function and automatic nozzle sealing technology. There is therefore no need to clean the printers before re- starting them, avoiding the need for additional downtime. Right around the globe, power outages are a fairly com - monplace occurrence. Asia, Africa and South America are affected, and so is Europe. For companies, this signifies unscheduled downtime, production delays and additional costs. Once a power outage has been resolved, production then urgently needs to get back up to speed. However, conventional industrial printers that print codes or serial numbers on products and packaging commonly experience start-up problems after power outages. The devices process inks that dry very fast indeed and, when a power outage oc - curs, they shut down spontaneously. The ink then dries up within a very short time, contaminating the print head and clogging the lines. Restarting those printers then usually first involves a time-consuming manual cleaning process. To avoid the kind of complications described above, the IQJET from LEIBINGER features an integrated energy storage systemfor anuninterruptible power supply (UPS). In the event of a power failure, an IQJET printer powers itself down fully and its print nozzle automatically gets sealed airtight, ensur - ing that the ink does not dry out. This also protects the print head from getting contaminated. Even after extended peri - ods of downtime, the IQJET is immediately ready for use again and does not need to be cleaned. The UPS can also bridge rel - atively short power interruptions. This prevents malfunctions and fluctuations in print quality. In contrast to conventional printers, there are no breakdowns or problems with the ink when operator errors occur. Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co.
