Essentially, the company has replaced the typical annual engineer service with a process that involves the exchange of just one component and which can be completed by any operator in under ten minutes. Key to this development is the new Qube, which enables users to dispose of exhausted ink and filters without the costly wastage of perfectly-serviceable electro mechanical component.
The ‘plug and play’ concept also applies to routine consumables replenishment, which relies on colour coded CleanFill consumables for easy identification. All feature self sealing valves for a safe and clean working environment.
The use of i-Tech intelligent Technology for monitoring and managing the A320i’s performance optimises reliability and efficiency and significantly reduces overall use of fluids. Printer configuration and usage is constantly monitored and the consumables replenishment cycle automatically adjusted. This maximises OEE by ensuring ensures ink is always in the optimum condition.
intelligent Technology. The service-free nature of the A320i reduces the lifetime carbon footprint of the printer. In addition, the A320i incorporates advanced energy-saving software to shut down the printer automatically when idle and its weight has been reduced by 40% compared to its predecessor.
Domino’s SureStart print head technology delivers push-button, walk-away convenience and guarantees that class-leading performance and print quality is always available - whether running continuously or shutting down daily, the A320i prints consistently and reliably with minimal operator intervention.
The A320i features QuickStep – a new, simplified and standardised operator interface rolling out across the company’s entire range. QuickStep minimises operator errors and speeds printer set-up by doing away with complex menus and parameters in favour of simplified set-up routines requiring minimal operator involvement. For maximum versatility, interface options include a full-colour touchscreen or Domino’s innovative SureTouch keypad, while multiple printers can also be controlled via a remote colour TouchPanel, a web browser or a PC application.
The first model in the range, the A320i, prints up to four lines of code, text, automatic serial or batch numbering and real-time clocks.
