The JETMARK 2000 ER is a 2-axis inkjet printing system that is designed to mark multiple products in a single setup, or to print multiple messages on a single part. By using an extend-retract motion, the print head is only over the product during marking, enabling unobstructed part or fixture load and unload. Printing can occur in either the X or Y direction depending on print head orientation. The base system offers a 15" x-axis travel with a 6" y- axis reach, however different travels can be provided. Various software options are available depending on user requirementsFixed spacing - single messageFixed spacing - multi-line messageMultiple messages at various x-y locations*Large character andor graphics produced by stitching print passes together*The system is provided as a table top mount, but a cart mounted option is available that provides a mounting for the printer and computer controller if required

The ECM-500 system provides a rotating spindle to mark around the circumference of a product. Cylindrical products such as connector bodies or back shells are set on the spindle and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Spindle rotation is activated by a foot switch or optional photo sensor. The print head is positioned using fine pitch screw driven slides and can be set to mark anywhere in a cylindrical area 8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height. The print head holder rotates from 0-90 degrees around the Z-axis to allow the printing on hard to reach surfaces. Rotation speed for different radius parts is controlled by a knob on the front panel. A selector switch allows one or two rotations to insure printing does not occur during spindle acceleration or deceleration.

The ECM-500 HD system provides a geared rotating spindle to mark around the circumference of large bulky products. Cylindrical products such couplings or fittings are set on the spindle tooling and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Multiple options for spindle tooling are available or the customer may provide their own. Print head mounting can be done with fixed positioning, micro-slide adjustment or motor controlled adjustment. Rotation speed can be manual or tied to radius parameters. Full position and speed control for a family of products with bar code recall can be set up with our touch-screen PC and motorized slide options.
