Delta Mod-Tech Edge Laser to feature at Labelexpo

Delta Industrial Services will be showcasing its Delta Mod-Tech Edge Laser converting system with digital UV printing capability at Labelexpo Americas 2008.

The Mod-Tech Edge Laser Converting system, which uses Delta's Digital Print Module with Xaar 1001 inkjet printheads, gives converters a flexible manufacturing solution for complex geometries, precision products and quick-changeover, as well as high-quality flexo, screen or digital printing.

The module's flexibility is due to its servo-controlled robotic arm for laser module repositioning.

The machine has also been fitted with Delta's Digital Print Module.

This new module features many Xaar 1001 inkjet printheads to provide CMYK and spot-colour digital printing with UV inks, the capability for instantaneous print image changeover and the modularity found on all the Delta Mod-Tech modules.

The Xaar 1001, recipient of a 2008 PIA/GATF Intertech Award, can be used for digital web-printing.

Designed for high-speed, single-pass applications, the Xaar 1001 printhead is used in many UV inkjet presses.

Its Xaardot technology allows variable-sized drops to be produced, giving users the ability to select drop size depending upon the application.

The 1001 printhead also incorporates Xaar's new HSS printhead technology and delivers through-flow operations that send ink past each nozzle orifice, keeping the channels primed and operational.

The Delta digital label-printing module will be driven by Ixpressia Colour Label software.

The package allows design and printing of full-colour variable data.

It can build up a label with pictures, background graphics, bar codes, numbers and words (all of which can be variable or static) in full colour at the full speed of the Xaar 1001 printheads.

This technology is suited for short-run label printing.
