A Complete System
|
Evolution EV 1 is complete and ready to install right
out of the box. The system includes the mounting bracketry.
A hand held controller with tactile keypad for message entry
and the printhead module with internal product sensor.
Inkjet Technology by
Hewlett Packard (HP) |
The Evolution EV 1 is powered with inkjet technology by
Hewlett Packard. This combination gives you the benefits
of an affordable, compact, and efficient design coupled
with the reliability of print head technology by Hewlett
Packard.
Add on Printheads |
Adding another printhead is as simple
as sliding it on. Each printhead module is manufactured
with a dovetail slot on one side and a dovetail slide
on the other. You can attach up to three additional
printheads on a single bracket by inserting the slide
on one into the slot on the other. A small RS 485
data cable is then used to connect the modules. This
allows the hand held controller to network all of
the printheads on the production line. |

Breakway Printhead Protection |
A typical powered conveyor or case
taper corrugated cartons can sometimes come through
skewed or off center. The horizontal adjusting rod
that holds the printhead module has been designed
with a breakaway feature that moves the printhead
out of harms way should the carton come in contact
with it. A detent in the assembly allows you to securely
snap the printhead back into position after the misaligned
carton has passed. |
|
Networking Capabilities |
The hand held controller has the capability of controlling
up to 32 individual printhead modules through the use of
a RS 485 data cable. A small data cable is used to connect
the modules on the same production line while a longer cable
connects them to the next production line in the manufacturing
area. The printhead modules have a discreet address which
is used to identify them for message entry functions.
Complete PC control of the Evolution network through our
EV-NET software is available as an option. |
