Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling an ink jet print head. It also concerns any flexible workshop equipped according to this process.
  • inkjet technique allows a wide variety of printing characters, both in terms of the fineness of the characters as well as in terms of color or number of jets. In addition, it allows to mark practically any type of support whatever its shape, its nature or its size.
  • the present invention aims to overcome these drawbacks and relates to a control method which makes it possible to associate a theoretically infinite number of independent writing heads and to program them from a single entry point or not.
  • an inkjet type print head control system characterized in that it consists of “printing subsystems” (M) consisting of a “power supply unit »Electrical (CE), at least one" print head “(T) provided with its own calculation unit (T c ), a bus ensuring the connection between the printing subsystems ( M) on the one hand, between the "power supply” (M) and the “print heads” (T) on the other hand, and finally between a console (30) for controlling the system and an external computer (40).
  • M printing subsystems
  • the invention also relates to any flexible printing workshop using a plurality of such printing subsystems.
  • the method according to the invention illustrated by means of FIGS. 1 and 2, consists in creating subsystems called “printing subsystems” in the following description and referenced (M) generally with or without index .
  • Each of these printing subsystems (M) essentially consists of a "power supply unit” (CE) ensuring the electrical and ink supply of at least one "print head” (T) which has its own calculation unit (T c ).
  • FIG 1 there is shown by way of non-limiting example, three types of such printing subsystems (M).
  • M1 has a single head (T).
  • M2 has two heads (T).
  • M3 has three heads (T).
  • the printheads (T) may have identical or different characteristics relating in particular to the size and fineness of the characters, the color and the number of associated jets in the same head ...
  • Bus 10 connects the assembly defined above to a control console 30 consisting for example of a keyboard 31, itself connected by said bus to an I / O input / output interface module 32, associated with an external computer. 40 says host computer.
  • a control console 30 consisting for example of a keyboard 31, itself connected by said bus to an I / O input / output interface module 32, associated with an external computer. 40 says host computer.
  • Each of the devices controlled by the bus 10 is provided in a known manner with a bus interface circuit (not shown).
  • FIG. 1 shows a video camera 50 intended for reading the printed characters directly and a laser reader 51 capable of reading a bar code.
  • Plugs 60, 61 placed at the input and at the output make it possible to close and tune the impedance of the bus 10.
  • the present invention has numerous applications, in particular whenever it is necessary to group together by one, two or three, the printheads on the same lines of products to be marked or on different lines. It allows a relatively large spacing between the different marking modules.
