Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) printers with a 50Hz frequency rating are industrial-grade coding machines primarily designed for high-speed, automatic printing of dates, batch codes, and other variable data on various substrates. The 50Hz refers to the frequency of the AC power supply they operate on, common in many parts of the world.
Core Technical Specifications
Specification Details
Power Supply Typically 220V/240V AC with a rated frequency of 50Hz (some are dual 50/60Hz compatible).
Printing Method Continuous Inkjet Printing (non-contact method).
Automation Grade Predominantly Automatic for seamless integration into production lines, though semi-automatic options exist.
Print Speed High speed, with capacities ranging from around 100 to over 500 prints/min or up to 384 m/min (depending on model and message content).
Print Lines Capable of printing multiple lines, typically from 1 to 6 lines of text, numbers, or codes.
Print Content Includes alphanumeric text, dates, times, batch numbers, serial numbers, shift codes, logos, and 1D/2D barcodes (QR, Data Matrix).
Nozzle Size Common nozzle sizes are around 50µm to 70µm, which allows for the creation of small, high-resolution characters.
Print Height/Distance Character heights typically range from 0.8 mm to 20 mm, with an optimal print distance of around 2 mm to 20 mm from the print head to the substrate.
