Various sensors are available for detecting
products ready for marking. In addition to a 'direct reflection'
photocell included in the printing kit, Zanasi Fratelli
supplies on request, photocells with reflectors, photocells for metal
surfaces, fiber optic photocells and centering mark readers.
For printing on products moving at variable speeds, the Company
supplies on request, production line speed-detecting sensors (encoder)
that may travel at 500, 2500 and 5000 PPM.
To ensure correct installation, the Company has designed various
support brackets and carriages to hold the printer upright.
Sirens or warning lights can be fitted to the printer to activate any
alarm in an emergency.
In especially damp or dusty environments, the printing head can be
pressurized with compressed air (filtered) to prevent any seepage by
contaminating elements from the ink.
Zanasi Fratelli also supplies bar code readers (laser scanners)
for installing on the production line in order to check that the bar
codes just printed are legible.
