• E-Tamp Blow All-Electric Printers/Apply Labeler

   

  NEW!

  Diagraph Introduces the E-Series Tamp Blow

  All-Electric Print/Apply Labeler

   

   

  St. Louis, MO. . .Diagraph is pleased to introduce the E-Series Tamp Blow All-Electric Print/Apply Labeler.  This “tamp blow” module adds to the innovative and highly successful E-Series labeler, which uses no compressed air and has digital controls for precise and accurate label placement and high repeatability.

   

  What does the E-Tamp Blow module add to the already popular E-Series?

  The E-Tamp Blow labeler is perfect for labeling delicate or fragile substrates, such as plastic clamshells for example, without making any contact from the tamp pad. The tamp pad is extended 1/8” to ¼" from the product, and then “blows” the label onto it. The E-Series Tamp Blow can print/apply for top or side application. In addition, the Tamp Blow can also provide application to products with slight recesses or curvatures.

   

  With the Diagraph E-Tamp Blow labeler, the process of applying a label in a touch-less manner is ingeniously simple. By using the same high velocity brushless fan motor that develops vacuum to hold the label, we can change the direction of air flow, and blow the label away from the tamp pad. The E-Tamp Blow module uses a double action air flow valve design to almost instantly change vacuum draw into an air blast coming out of the very same porting holes. Such an innovative design leads to imitation, so we have protected it with a pending patent.

   

  Key Product Features of the E-Series Tamp Blow All-Electric Print/Apply Labeler:

  • Label Size Range: 1¼” x 1¼” up to 4” x 6”

  • Application Rate: 55 PPM (dependent on label size and application)

  • Tamp Pad Sizes 4” x 2”, 4” x 4”, and 4” x 6”

  • Blow Distance 1/8” to 1/4”    

   

  The E-Series All-Electric Print/Apply Labeler has these innovative features: ·         All-Electric - No compressed air required.

  ·         High-velocity turbo fan – secures the label during application to avoid label skew on your product.

  ·         Saves energy - Uses less power than a hair dryer!

  ·         Portability – moves easily from one production line to another without the hassle of air hoses getting in the way.

  ·         Reliability – Typical MTBF of 25 million cycles means less maintenance and downtime.

  ·         Ease of use – fewer controls than a comparable pneumatic system.

  ·         Digital Controls – provides more accuracy, fewer adjustments, and less set-up time. Just “set it and forget it”.

  ·         Wide label range – apply labels 1” to 6.6” wide, ½” to 14” long

  ·          “No-Change” tamp pad – change label sizes without changing tamp pad or selection valves.

  ·         Pivoting tamp pad is standard; conforms to irregular surfaces

  ·         Standard 10” & 20” stroke lengths with variable stroke range

  ·         Flexibility – choose Sato, Zebra, or Datamax print engine.

  ·         Upgradability – pneumatic Platinum Series systems can be field retrofitted to all-electric.

  ·         Brushless DC motor – the reliability of a brushless DC motor drives the tamp cylinder

  ·         Harsh environment enclosures – available for dust and/or temperature control.

  ·         Platinum E-Series is capable of various orientations to accommodate label application to the side, top, bottom or corner-wrap of substrate panels.

• Diagraph introduces a new printhead for Impulse Jet large character ink jet printers

  Diagraph introduces a new printhead for Impulse Jet large character ink jet printers

  IJ/768 High-Resolution 4" Printhead 1/1/04 DIAGRAPH® INTRODUCES 4-INCH PRINTHEAD FOR IJ 3000™ IMPULSE JET HIGH-RESOLUTION INK JET PRINTER

  St. Louis, MO. . .Diagraph introduces a new printhead for its new generation IJ/3000™ Impulse Jet large character ink jet printers. With the addition of the IJ/768 (4”) printhead, customers have four IJ/3000 Impulse Jet printhead choices to satisfy virtually any marking or coding application: IJ/96 (3/4”), IJ/192 (1”), IJ/352 (2”) and IJ/768 (4”).

  The new IJ/768 printhead delivers sharp, clear, high-resolution printing of alphanumeric information, graphics, bar codes and logos at production line speeds up to 200 fpm. For true-type fonts and logos, it provides 192 vertical dpi. For bar codes, such as UPC/EAN and SCC-14, it provides 200 horizontal dpi.

  Like other IJ/3000 Impulse Jet printheads, the new IJ/768 offers an automatic cleaning feature which allows operators to program the unit to self-clean at any selected times over

  a 24-hour period. At the programmed times, the pump and vacuum device in the central ink delivery system (CIDS) are automatically activated to remove accumulated contaminants from the faceplate of the printhead and transport them to a reservoir for future disposal. The automatic cleaning system enhances preventive maintenance, improves print quality consistency, and prolongs printhead life.

  The IJ/3000 allows users the flexibility of multi-technology performance. It is engineered to drive either high-resolution Impulse Jet printheads, such as the IJ/768, Diagraph’s patented Integrated Valve printheads, or the PA/5000LT Label Printer/Applicator.

  The IJ/3000 Impulse Jet offers unsurpassed “smart” features: touch screen controls, worldwide networking connectivity, around-the-clock monitoring and diagnostic functions, high-resolution printing, and convenience features such as automatic cleaning.

  The touch screen allows operators to control the system with the touch of a finger and enjoy previously unimagined levels of convenience and productivity. The graphical user interface visually displays menus and commands so operators can enter messages and codes in minutes. And batch codes can be changed during a run, without interrupting production.

  The IJ/3000 Impulse Jet has a built-in high-speed Ethernet connection that permits networking with another printer on the other side of the factory, or on the other side of the world. For multi-location manufacturing customers with constantly changing batch codes, this smart feature is invaluable for making changes and checking status. The system is designed to work with Web browsers (including Netscape and Internet Explorer), existing local area networks (device net, arc net, etc.), or wireless (radio frequency) using off-the-shelf converters.

  Another smart feature is 24/7 monitoring and diagnostics. Operating on PCs, PLCs, and LANs, it can be used to obtain up-to-the-minute system status. The IJ/3000 Impulse Jet can even be programmed to monitor ink levels and provide an alert when the supply needs to be replenished.

  Like all Diagraph ink jet printing systems, the IJ/3000 Impulse Jet is built to last, with minimal maintenance, even in hostile industrial environments. It provides reliable performance in all kinds of conditions—hot, cold, wet and dry.

• TO CELEBRATE 125th ANNIVERSARY, DIAGRAPH INTRODUCES NEW GLOBAL STRATEGY DEDICATED TO MAKING MARKING, CODING & LABELING EASY

  

  TO CELEBRATE 125th ANNIVERSARY, DIAGRAPH INTRODUCES NEW GLOBAL STRATEGY
  DEDICATED TO MAKING MARKING, CODING & LABELING EASY

  World´s Oldest Coding Company Stays Modern with Strategic Shift Across All Aspects of Its Business

  
  Diagraph Marking & Coding (www.diagraph.com), an ITW Company, announces the rollout of a new global strategy tightly focused on making package marking, coding and labeling easy.

   

  Brand Values

  Diagraph´s new brand identity focuses every aspect of the company´s business on providing hassle-free marking, coding and labeling for customers. This is achieved through an unwavering commitment to three core brand values – reliability, partnership and simplicity.

   

  Far from an isolated marketing exercise, the new brand values represent the culmination of years of careful listening to customer priorities and a comprehensive top to bottom overhaul of Diagraph´s entire business structure. Moving forward, all aspects of the company´s business (including new product development, customer service, billing, delivery and human resources) are being driven by a shared commitment to providing products that are easy to use and being a company that is easy to work with.  

   

  Top to Bottom Brand Reorganization

  As part of this new strategy, sister companies within the ITW Marketing & Coding Group will be rolled into the Diagraph brand.

   

  Trident, the inventor of the world´s only repairable and longest lasting piezoelectric print engine, and Norwood inventor of the world´s first hot stamp imprinter for the food industry will become part of Diagraph Marking & Coding. The Trident name, respected worldwide and synonymous with rugged industrial design will remain the product brand name for piezoelectric print engines. Norwood Marking Systems will be completely consolidated into Diagraph with all new thermal transfer technology being produced under the Diagraph name.

   

  This strategic focus on making marking, coding, and labeling easy will be rolled out across Diagraph’s operations worldwide, including Diagraph Mexico, Diagraph Asia, and Diagraph’s European operations through Allen Coding. Additionally, the Diagraph Global Partner Network of certified distributors will benefit from forthcoming products, programs, and services– extending the benefits of this new strategy to all Diagraph technology users.

   

  Strategy in Action

  In the weeks and months ahead, customers will see the launch of a number of new products, services and logistical enhancements all designed to make product marking easy.

   

  Printing systems have been designed for market-leading uptime. Interventions are minimal, tool-less where possible and simplified with the goal of minimal touches for routine items like message editing, consumable replenishment and filter changes. New product development is focused on machine level communications and connectivity, with an emphasis on simplifying diagnostics and increasing uptime through preventive and predictive maintenance.

   

  A comprehensive service offering underscores Diagraph´s desire to partner with its customers in all aspects of their coding and labeling operations, allowing customers to remain focused on their business. Service programs have been designed to match the skill level of customer maintenance teams.Levels range from "DIY" to "never lift a finger". Pro-active need anticipation and one-call-resolutions are guiding goals behind all service programs.

   

  Additionally, customers will notice Diagraph´s new modern logo, updated visual identity and newly updated website (www.diagraph.com).

   

  Context: 125 Years of Thinking Ahead
  Diagraph, the world´s oldest product marking company, is celebrating its 125th Anniversary in 2018. The company has stayed relevant for over 100 years by anticipating industry trends and strategically realigning the brand to meet evolving market needs.

   

  This approach has allowed Diagraph to remain at the forefront of global product marking needs with an impressive array of breakthrough technologies including: the world´s first stencil cutting machine (1893), the world´s first circular stencil cutting machine – the Diagraph (1902), the world´s first roll coder – the DiCoder (1969), the world´s first integrated valve jet technology (1986), the world´s first high resolution piezoelectric barcode print engine – Trident technology (1990), the world´s first centralized ink delivery system design for high resolution inkjet (1996), the world´s first automated cleaning system for high resolution inkjet technology (2002) and the world´s first all-electric automated labeling system platform (2008).

   

  Diagraph´s new global strategic commitment to making it easy for manufacturers to make the perfect mark on their product represents a new chapter in Diagraph´s forward-looking leadership.
