For engineers designing specialty printers that use versatile black bulk ink, there are a myriad of technical issues to consider. One that can almost slip to an afterthought is how the regulator assembly and the print heads will be connected. After specifying the tubing, consideration must be given to the couplings. Here are some things to look for:
- Are they easy to connect and disconnect?
- Do they minimize spills?
- Do they reduce air inclusion?
- Do they encourage proper maintenance?
The CPC NS4 Series Non-Spill Couplings meet all of these conditions and has these additional benefits:
- Audible “click” at connection: Confirms a secure seal has been achieved.
- Easy-to-use thumb latch: For no-tools-needed, one-handed connections and disconnections.
- Non-spill design: Protects equipment and minimizes downtime.
- Improved serviceability: Simplifies maintenance and parts replacement.
- Low cost: To keep overall price of the system down.
You can further enhance your printer design by adding RFID-enabled IdentiQuik® technology to your couplings. RFID-based IdentiQuik couplings verify date and color codes while enhancing inventory control and management—automatically. And with our new Multi-Antenna RF-enabled (MAR) communicator, you get up to eight RFID antenna connections with a single interface.
