Simple operation for faster setup with fewer errors
• The large, colour touch-screen with drag-and-drop field positioning, and simple icons, makes code creation intuitive. The icons can be customised on the top screen so the most frequently used features are just one touch away
• Fluid refills are quick and clean, with a door which opens at a touch, and cartridges which simply click into place; automatic fluid-checking also ensures that the correct fluid is used. No tools, no mess, no mistakes
• Servicing is quick and simple with the Easi-Change® Service Module which can be changed in minutes following step-by-step on-screen instructions - allowing you to schedule in your servicing around your production runs, for less downtime.
Proven Linx reliability for maximum uptime
• The Linx printhead is a robust, sealed design made from stainless steel so all the essential components are protected at all times
• Cleaning is only required every 3 months
• Our Autoflush feature ensures the printhead is cleaned thoroughly at every shutdown, ensuring reliable operation and first time startup, even after extended shutdowns.
Accurate output measurement – keeping you on target
• The Linx 8900 can help you track your line productivity by monitoring the printer output based on your own targets, in real time e.g. batch counts, output/hour rates. The screensaver clearly displays whether you are on or off target
• Reasons for line stoppage can also be customised to your own line, meaning you can quickly identify efficiency improvements on your line. Reports can all be downloaded via a USB for reporting and analysis, making the Linx 8900 a valuable tool to help you achieve your OEE targets
• Long 8 hour fluid refill warnings enable you to plan refills around your production schedule – no more unexpected printer stops!
