3. Mechanical assembly
The print unit needs to be fixed mechanically to an external support bracket (made and supplied by the
customer). There are 10 fixing points so as to enable great configuration liberty.
In particular, there are three standard ways of fixing to the machine (refer to overall dimension drawings):
a) fixing upper face of printer by means of 4 screws in the threaded M6 holes
b) fixing onto the two right and left sides of the printer by means of 4 screws in the threaded M6 holes
c) fixing the printer on a rear crosspiece by means of 2 screws in the 6.5-mm diameter through holes.
The printer must print only on the print surface supplied by EIDOS.
Rules to be followed during the phase of installation of the printer and the print surface:
a) the distance between the head profile and the print surface must be about 2.5 - 3mm. The maximum
possible range for the head is 8 mm with respect to the rest position.
b) Make sure that the film to be printed touches the print surface, thus reducing the so-called “suction”
effects.
It is advisable to maintain a distance of about 1mm between the film and the print surface.
If the printer is going to be used in particularly humid environments (for example cheese
factories) the electronic unit should be placed inside an IP65- grade sealed container to
prevent ambient humidity from gradually reducing the reliability of the electronic parts.
