Easy integration
For smooth integration into a production line, the Ax-Series supports leading industrial communication protocols simplifying installation and automation online. Ax-Series printers can be integrated into networked printer systems providing centralised code templates for error-free coding and integration onto existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
Simple production line integration:
- Easy-to-use remote touch screen can be mounted where it best serves operators
- Hide the heavy-duty, wash-down cabinet, out of the way
- Available on the Ax550i model, 316 stainless steel, IP66 – built for quality and reliability even in the harshest environments
Innovative technology
Easy to integrate and configure and highly productive, the Ax350i promises years of service-free operation. It supports ink for all substrates, offers easy-change consumables and convenient modular stackability. The advanced Ax-Series also includes i-Techx that offers users an experience like a smartphone, takes only minutes to learn and is customisable allowing prioritisation of the most used tasks. Sovena Consumer Goods Manufacturing Engineer, Luísa Dordio, works with this technology from Domino every day and attests, “with this equipment, we are able to improve the quality of marking on our boxed products.”
New inks, new capabilities
The Ax350i utilises new, highly reliable i-Pulse inks. These advanced inks – designed for demanding applications – easily adhere, even after harsh post-print processes. “In this case, since we work with PET packaging, we have [to have] marking with the best definition,” Dordio shared. “This ink without a doubt presents definition, and with this ink, we manage to hit our goal which, to us, is fundamental.”
i-Pulse print head & inks
The perfect drop – it’s fundamental to consistently great quality codes:
- 9 drop quality at 7 drop speeds
- Perfect drop creation and placement resulting in producing highly reliable machine-readable codes (MRC)
- Better drop management equals cleaner printhead (go significantly longer in between cleanings)
- Faster, more consistent codes
Rewriting the relationship
While meeting all the quality guarantee requirements and technological logistics, ultimately, speed and productivity remain essential ingredients to the Sovena / Domino recipe for success. “One of the biggest challenges for a company like ours is to ensure quality of the product we offer to our end customer, with maximum productivity,” Rui recalls. “Something so basic and so vital as coding in the food industry has to be guaranteed. It is exactly for this reason that we trust the Ax-Series to perform the job perfectly.”
