Temperature A dj ustment
(refer to page 5)
•
Normal setting is about 125ºc. (257ºF).
•
•
Should the print not fully adhere to the substrate then a higher setting may be used.
•
•
Small, fine detail print generally requires a lower tem perature.
•
•
Thermoplastic films and especially polyethylene generally require a lower temperature.
•
•
Aluminium foils, paper and untreated polyester require a higher temperature.
See pages 10 & 23 for mode & temperatu re calibr ation
Page 11
Eurocode Digi50 Controller V1.03 04/07/2005 Page - 11 -
Initial Setting Pr oc ed ur e
(continued)
Print Dwell Adju s t me nt (refer to page 5)
•
Normal setting is about 120 milli-seconds.
•
•
Generally, the larger the print, the higher the setting.
•
•
Should the print not adhere fully to the substrate, a higher setting may be used.
•
•
Remem ber, the printhead can only operate during the stationary cycle of the web, if
the print time is longer than this the web may break.
•
•
Should the dwell time have to be decreased to accommodate higher production
speeds, it may be necessary to compensat e by increasing the temperature setting.
A ir Flow Controls (refer to page 12)
The airflow restrictors are usually attached to the solenoid val ve exhaust ports. The
y
work by regulating the speed at which air is exhausted from the air cylinder.
Turning the adjusting screws will alter the exhaust airflow and consequently the prin
t
ram velocity (speed), will also a ff e c t no is e lev e ls .
Increasing the exhaust airflow from the forward stroke of the print ram will increase the
print pressure. Decreasing the exhaust airflow will reduce print pressure and the
result in g p rin t will be ligh t e r .
The drive for the printi ng foil i s taken from the return stroke of the print ram. Increasing
the exhaust airflow will speed up the foil feed. To ensure efficient foil feeding, the return
stroke should be as gentle as possible.
For higher speed operation, the exhaust airflow from both the forward and return
strok e s will hav e t o be in c re a s e d .
Note !!
It is very important that the print ram returns fully before the next print cycle
commences

NOTE!
Calibration & Temperature Range:= 70ºC to 220ºC (158ºF to 428ºF)
The unit is factory cali brated at 130ºC, and is set up as “MODE 1”supplied as standard.
(See page 15 for a list of the different modes available)
Unless you are running temperatures outside the range 70ºC to 180ºC (158ºF to 356ºF),
the default calibration should not be altered.
Fitting of an optional thermistor (THE 312080) will require (SW1) position to be altered
(See page 17), again this will be accurate to plus or minus 7°C. If accurate temperatures
are needed, you should recalibrate to suit the individual thermistor fitted.
For normal running temperatures above 180°C recalibrate at 200°C
External Calibration Method
1. Switch the Digi50 unit on and adjust the temperature setting to 130ºc or 266ºF.
2. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the temperature to stabilise.

AIRBOR N E N O ISE EMISSIONS
Comprehensive tests have been carried out with the Eurocode fitted in a standard
printer frame and mounted onto a typical label appli cator. Measurements were taken at
1.6 metres above floor level and approximately 1 metre away from the printer in all
directions.
The measuring equipment used for conducting the tests was a Digital Sound Level
Meter, type d-1405E supplied by Lucas CEL. Before the tests were carried out the
instrument was calibrated and fitted with a foam w indshield.
The results shown below are based upon a standard type installation for the printer, the
operating air pressure was set at 6 bar and the air flow restrictors correctly adjusted.
The noise levels shown below are the equivalent continuous "A-weighted" sound
pressure levels in decibels "dB(A)".
