XAAR introduces new ultrasonic self-cleaning mode to streamline print

XAAR introduces Sure Flow, a new ultrasonic self-cleaning mode to streamline print. It enables users to clear and prevent nozzle blockages without the need to remove the printhead, maximising operational print time for optimum productivity. The new ultrasonic self-cleaning mode is designed to help users keep their print at its very best, without the need to remove the printhead at any stage during the process. With XAAR’s TF Technology ink recirculation, a regularly maintained printhead is extremely unlikely to block. However, external factors and challenging applications can create exceptionally harsh operational environments for inkjet printing.

Enabled by software, users simply activate the mode as required by adjusting the settings and loading a command file. This drives each channel to work at maximum power and frequency to create ultrasonic waves that produce controlled vibrations of the channel walls without pausing production or the need to remove the printhead.
