Mid-Range CIJ Printer
Five-line printing and networking for multi-shift production.
Built around your product
The CJ-520 adds print lines, speed and connectivity. It suits food and beverage lines that run two or three shifts and need the printer to take job data from line software.
Ink is pumped under pressure through a nozzle and broken into a steady stream of droplets by a piezo crystal. Selected drops receive an electrical charge and are deflected by a high-voltage plate onto the product to form characters; uncharged drops return to the gutter and are recycled. Solvent make-up keeps viscosity constant across temperature changes.
Key features
- Up to five lines of print
- Long service interval with a single service module
- Automatic viscosity control across temperature
- Remote monitoring over Ethernet
Process sequence
Start
Automatic nozzle flush and jet alignment bring the printer to ready.
Sense
A product sensor triggers the print; the encoder matches character width to speed.
Charged drops fly 5–15 mm to the surface and dry in about a second.
Recycle
Unused ink returns through the gutter to the mixing tank.
Shut down
The printhead cleans and seals itself for a clean next start.
