Equipping/Maintenance

10.1 Equipping

Caution – Danger of explosion!

Before filling the device with the consumables, measures for the electrostatic discharge have to be made!

The operator can carry out a discharge either by the direct touching of the JET One- cabinet or by standing with the appropriate ESD-shoes on an grounded surface!

Dangerous material in the machine!

Danger of serious damage through burns, skin irriation and poisoning! Read the safety leaflets and the regulations on personal safety equipment!

10.1.1 Re-filling process and TAG-reader 10.1.1.1 General

The two reservoir tanks are always unpressurized and can be opened in every device condition – also during the production.

The reservoir tanks and the sealing cap are color-coded and labelled to avoid any mistakes in filling. Additionally the sealing caps are marked with the ink-no. or solvent-no. which are admissible for the device.

For correct handling the LEIBINGER re-filling system allows an odor- and splash free refilling of the consumables.

Inks and solvent made by Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG are identified by TAGs. The TAG is located below the label of each re-fill bottle (see also afterimage). The printer is equipped with a TAG reader to read the TAG codes.

JET One Release R1.01 en 10.1.1.2 TAG-reader

The TAG-reader of the Leibinger JET One printer is a guarantee for the faultless function from side of ink and solvent.

Because of the TAG-reader the printer only allows only the usage of the set up ink and solvent from LEIBINGER. So we can make sure that only released ink and solvent is used.

If the printer is refilled with ink or solvent so the printer will ask for the so called TAG-activation. If this activation is not be carried out the printer will shut down und do not allow any operation. That’s why there is no production able anymore. Every TAG can only be activated once.

10.1.1.3 Execution of the TAG-activation and refilling

The reservoir tanks should be not overfilled!

The refilling of the reservoir tanks must only be carried out if the printer gives a message that the reservoir tank is empty!

Is one of the reservoir tanks empty the printer gives you a refilling message on the touch display.

Hints

 The shown examples are placed like the reservoir tanks in the printer: ink on the left side, solvent on the right side.

 In the pictures shown ink and solvent numbers are just examples and can be different for every printer!

1. Refilling messages for an empty ink and solvent reservoir tank.

Ink Solvent

1 – Remaining term until safety shut down in hh:mm:ss

The maximum remaining term for ink is 1 hour and for solvent 3 hours. After this term the printer shuts down automatically and is put into standby mode. This shall prevent ingress of air into the hydraulic system caused by the lack of ink or solvent.

Although it is possible to restart the printer from this mode it will be shut down again if no refill is carried out.

2. Firstly it has to be ensured that only compatible ink or solvent is used for refills. The ID-number of the ink respective the solvent that can be used for refills are printed on the respective cap of the reservoir tank and they are also listed in the <Info> dialog box of the printer.

bottle in with the (risk) label right in front of the TAG-reader.

You will find it on the right side of the printer housing.

The scanned information will be shown on the touch display.

The following messages are possible:

the reservoir tank with this bottle! The printer displays one of the following messages.

5. As already mentioned you can activate a TAG only once. So it may happen that an already activated bottle is placed in front of the TAG-reader. When your bottle was already activated you are not allowed to fill up the reservoir tank! The printer will display one of the following messages:

6. If you place a compatible and not activated bottle in front of the TAG-reader you have to activate the ink or solvent before refilling. If you place a compatible not activated bottle in front of the TAG reader the printer will display one of the following messages:
