Videojet Virtual Experience and Pack Expo Connects 2020 Aim to Boost Manufacturers’ Productivity and Run Their Packaging Lines Smarter with Videojet Coding and Marking Solutions

Videojet Technologies, a leading global supplier of coding and marking systems and supplies, today announced the launch of its Videojet Virtual Experience, an interactive, 3D look at the company’s latest innovations. The Videojet Virtual Experience also serves as a preview of activities for next week’s virtual event, Pack Expo Connects, happening November 9-13.

Visitors of both the Videojet Virtual Experience and Pack Expo Connects can get a close-up view of Videojet innovations including the new Videojet 1280 continuous inkjet (CIJ) printer, the new Videojet 9550 6” print and apply labeler, and the full range of packaging solutions from the extensive Videojet coding and marking portfolio. Class-leading solutions include airless thermal transfer overprinters (TTO) and the revolutionary Videojet 7340 and 7440 fiber laser marking systems. Also available for exploration are thermal inkjet (TIJ) printers, CO2 lasers, and IIoT-enabled VideojetConnect solutions that leverage advanced analytics, remote connectivity, and the largest service footprint in the industry. Participants will have the opportunity to chat with Videojet coding and marking experts, view on-demand product presentations, and request appointments. Pack Expo Connects participants can also add Videojet to their MyConnects Planners to attend live Videojet product presentations.

Participants of both the Videojet Virtual Experience and Pack Expo Connects can explore Videojet solutions:

• The Videojet 1280 CIJ printer features the proven Videojet printhead and fluid system to provide print quality performance on startup, even if remaining unused for up to 14 days. Manufacturers don’t have to be CIJ experts to manage their day-to-day CIJ operations thanks to minimal operator
  interaction required with the Videojet SIMPLICITY interface. The printer’s IP55 rated, high-grade stainless-steel cabinet helps protect against dust and water ingress. With Videojet Dynamic Calibration, the 1280 constantly monitors environmental conditions and automatically adjusts jetting parameters to help maintain superior print quality and maximize uptime.

• The new Videojet 9550 6″ print and apply labeling system for direct apply labeling applications expands the successful 9550 2” and 4” system capacity with a wider printhead capable of accommodating 6” labels. The 9550 prints high resolution text, barcodes and images and applies labels to cases, pallets and shrink wrap. It features Intelligent Motion technology to target zero unscheduled downtime and reduce costs and errors in case coding operations. Automatic, precise control of the entire system, together with Direct Apply label placement, helps deliver efficient operation and high contrast print for exceptional bar code read rates.
• The Videojet 1580 CIJ printer offers dependable performance and superior print quality. Its Videojet SmartCell components are easy to replace within minutes, helping to ensure maximum line productivity with no additional downtime. The Videojet SIMPLICiTY user interface streamlines and minimizes operator interactions to help eliminate potential user errors. The 1580 also features Videojet OPTIMiZE software to deliver on-screen alerts, expert diagnostics, analytics and guides to enhance everyday printer performance.

• The Videojet 7340 and 7440 fiber laser marking systemsfeature Lightfoot, the most compact fiber laser marking head on the market, measuring just 1.6” in diameter. The marking head is specifically designed to meet strict IP69 requirements and help make the 7340 and 7440 lasers ideal for use in washdown and harsh environments. Built on 30 years of laser expertise, the Videojet 7340 and 7440 are engineered for easy integration into production lines or complex machinery.
