The Hitachi UX2 is tailor-made for tomorrow's production lines and is one of the most economical, user-friendly and highly capable solutions available for marking and coding. You can order this product today at Newcode Partnership, receiving best-in-class customer support.

This cutting-edge Continuous Inkjet model ensures seamless line functionality with a host of new
attributes that significantly reduce downtimes. Newly developed features include an automated
printhead cleaning system within a safe cleaning station and a printhead ink guard, enhancing
reliability and print quality. Maintaining its commitment to user-friendly operation, the Hitachi UX2 is equipped with an intuitive touchscreen interface resembling a simple tablet and offers video-based guidance making UX2 easy to use.

Refinements in the print head design effectively eliminate contamination, while a capture electrode
guarantees uninterrupted, high-quality printing.

With the secure-clean station in place, your continuous inkjet system remains perpetually accessible, regardless of breaks, shift changes, weekends, or extended shutdowns.

The Hitachi UX2 sets a new standard for superior type quality and consistent high performance due to an enhanced printing algorithm. Additionally, its new high-speed printhead allows for 1- and 2-line applications at optimum quality, achieving speeds of up to 330 m/min. Furthermore, a diverse range of interfaces and communication protocols—such as Ethernet, RS232/Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and OPC/UA—render the UX2 compatible with Industry 4.0 standards.

Packed With New Features

The new Hitachi UX2 printer combines innovation with the reliability customers have come to expect from Hitachi. The UX2 continuous inkjet printer has several new features to enhance the coding process:


 

• Safe-Clean Station - This integrated cleaning station flushes, cleans, and dries the printhead
  with a single, automatic cycle. The sealed reservoir eliminates the need to expose solvent to the manufacturing floor and captures all solvent for safe and easy disposal.
• Smart Start Function - The self-diagnosis start-up automatically cleans the nozzle to ensure smooth start-up and operation.
• Ink Guard - This patented design reduces faults and print quality issues caused by ink build up and allows the printer to go three (3) times longer between routine cleaning when compared to other printer models.
• Quick Change Connectors - The preconfigured I/O connectors allows you to easy move the CIJ printer to and from the production line, eliminating time consuming mistakes.
• Improved Print Algorithms - – Hitachi’s proprietary algorithm provides crisp, clear codes at extreme line speeds.
• Onboard Video Guidance - Expanded on-screen easy-to-follow onboard video guidance with animation for common tasks and trouble-shooting.

Why choose the Hitachi UX2-D160W?

The Hitachi UX2-D160W is a robust, high-performance CIJ printer that incorporates a wide range of
options, design features and enhancements to deliver economical, environmentally-friendly and
reliable printing performance for commercial applications.
Capable of printing barcodes, data matrices, QR codes and more, the UX2-D160W is ideal for challenging applications, such as printing on drinks containers like milk and juice cartons, thanks to its ergonomically-designed printhead. It is also suitable for printing both large characters and micro-fonts depending on the nozzle size.
Here are some of the main reasons to choose the Hitachi UX2-D160W:
 

• High-performance printing
  The Hitachi UX2-D160W printer offers six separate printing lines, for prints of up to 240 characters, at a print rate of 1,538 characters per second.
• Easy-to-use interface
  The unit comes with a full-colour 10.1” TFT LCD touchscreen and simple WYSIWYG interface, offering the ability to preview the finished image on the screen before going ahead with printing to prevent errors, and an icon-based graphic display to indicate when ink levels are low.
• Economical easy-drain cartridge system
  The printer’s ink and makeup cartridges can be easily changed without stopping production, and are optimised for the complete evacuation of fluids, allowing them to be used right down to the last drop. Empty cartridges are then sealed after removal to prevent any hazardous solvents from escaping.
• Robust performance in challenging environments
  The UX2-D160W’s stainless steel cabinet offers IP65-standard protection, providing total protection from dust ingress and protection against low-pressure water jets from any direction. It may also be used in temperatures ranging from 0° to 50°C, making the system suitable for a variety of production environments.
• Low total cost of operation and ownership
  Each component of the ergonomic printhead can be replaced individually, reducing the need to purchase costly sub-assemblies, while maintenance items are also replaceable individually. This, combined with the economical ink consumption, delivers significant savings for users
