SQ2 DOD Carton Printer (Single Head)
The SQ/2 is a large-character ink jet printer engineered to provide the industry’s lowest price per printed character. It utilizes patented micro-channeling technology and a rugged steel design to deliver consistent coding and marking in harsh industrial environments.
Key Features & Design
- Versatile Substrate Printing: Supports water-based inks for porous surfaces (corrugated cartons, paper, wood) and solvent-based inks for non-porous products (plastics, metals, glass).
- Flexible Print Configurations: Users can choose from three printhead sizes to achieve character heights ranging from 1/4″ to 3/4″ using 7 x 5 or 5 x 5 character matrices.
- Industrial Build: Features heavy-duty gauge coated steel cabinetry designed to withstand “real world” manufacturing conditions.
- Field-Installable Components: All components are field-installable, allowing for easy upgrades—such as adding a second printhead—as production requirements change.
- Compact Footprint: The controller measures 12″ H x 12″ W x 5.25″ D, making it easy to integrate into existing production lines.
Operational Efficiency
- User-Friendly Programming: Includes a handheld input device with resident software that prompts the user through message programming for up to 64 saved messages.
- PC Integration: The system can be programmed and maintained via a PC through a standard RS-232 port.
- Variable Print Speeds: Standard speeds range from 20 to 200 feet per minute, with optional firmware available for speeds slower than 20 feet per minute.
- Software Automation: Includes built-in features for 24-hour clocks, Julian dates, and lot counters to automate tracking.
- No External Air Required: The system operates without the need for an external air source, simplifying installation.
Cost Benefits
- Lower Maintenance Inks: The water-based system uses SQ-60M “no-clog” ink, which can stay in the printhead for extended periods without requiring flushing or cleaning.
- Patented Technology: Uses micro-channeling and plunger technology instead of expensive fluid valves, significantly reducing production and maintenance costs.
- Rapid Repair: Designed to eliminate costly service calls; if the printer fails, most fixes (such as replacing printheads or air pump modules) can be completed in less than five minutes.
- Bulk Ink Options: Standard 0.5-gallon bottles can be upgraded to 5.0-gallon pails for water-based applications to further reduce ink costs.
