CoPilot 500 Hi-Resolution Printing System

The CoPilot 500 is a professional-grade printing solution engineered to deliver superior quality characters on both porous and non-porous surfaces. Utilizing advanced Piezo impulse printhead technology, it produces 185 dpi high-resolution text, scannable bar codes, and logos. The system is highly adaptable, supporting oil-based, solvent-based, or UV-curable inks to meet diverse industrial requirements.

Key Features & Design

  • Print Capability: Offers a print height of up to 2.8″ per printhead, with the ability to run two heads from a single controller for a total height of 5.6″.
  • User Interface: Features a 4.3″ full-color touchscreen for accessing internal messages and print functions directly on the production floor.
  • Rugged Construction: Designed for harsh environments with industrial-strength printhead construction and a durable touchscreen.
  • Connectivity: Equipped with USB and Ethernet inputs, with options for WiFi, wireless network control, and Bluetooth keyboard connectivity.
  • Software Integration: Uses Orion™ PC Software for message creation, allowing for features like reverse, invert, and rotate, as well as storage for over 1,000 messages.
  • Optional Enhancements: Supports a Windows® tablet for mobile message management, external light beacons for ink alerts, and encoders for variable speed conveyors.

Operational Efficiency

  • Maximum Uptime: The system utilizes a large 500ml cartridge or bag ink system, which reduces downtime by allowing longer runs between ink changes.
  • Low Maintenance: For porous surfaces, the PZ-1000 ink eliminates the need for auto-priming, resulting in darker prints and better ink utilization.
  • Versatile Media Support: Users can print on a wide array of products, including coated cartons, plastics, glass, metals, and shrink wrap.
  • Global Functionality: Supports seven languages and all standard barcode formats, including 2D codes.

Cost Benefits

  • Low Consumable Costs: Printing directly on cartons is typically 1/10th the cost of using paper labels.
  • Inventory Reduction: Eliminates the need to maintain large inventories of pre-printed cartons and various label SKUs.
  • Affordable Compliance: Provides a cost-effective way to meet GS1 barcode specifications without expensive equipment.
  • High ROI: The combination of low maintenance, high ink volume, and rugged design is intended to maximize return on investment for industrial users.
