Page 27: Dangers Through Consumables
Group 2 Safety Page 25 2.10 Dangers through consumables Inks are colored liquids on a solvent basis. The safety instructions on the containers of the consumables as well as the instructions in the group Accident prevention must be especially adhered to in order to exclude dangers for persons and the surroundings.
Page 28 Page 26 Safety Group 2 WARNING Always ground yourself and the printer to the same potential before filling the reservoirs! Simply touch the housing of the printer to discharge the equipment or you must stand on a grounded surface wearing ESD shoes during filling! Burning gases and liquids may cause severe burns.
Page 29: Figure 2 - Labels For Marking (Ink/Solvent)
Group 2 Safety Page 27 An uncluttered, clean working environment and regular, safe disposal of waste materials minimize the risk of spontaneous ignition and other fire hazards. Many inks used in ink jet printing contain “nitro-cellulose” as the binder and remain highly flammable even when they are dry.

Page 69: Operation
6 Operation 6.1 Construction/Structure of the device The high-performance LEIBINGER JET3up is manufactured of a solid two parts stainless steel cabinet. Due to the two parts construction you will get a thermal separation between the hydraulic- and electronic section. The device consists of the following main components.
Page 70: Functional Principle
Page 68 Job Editor Group 8 6.2 Functional principle 6.2.1 Method of working The JET3up works in accordance with the continuous ink jet process. In this a constant ink jet is emitted from a jet nozzle which is broken down into a series of equal size drops under the influence of mechanical oscillations.
Page 71: Drop Charging
Group 8 Job Editor Page 69 6.2.3 Drop charging In order to be able to charge the drops it is necessary for the ink to have electrical conductivity. This is possible through the use of specific salts that dissociate in the solvent used.

Group 8 Job Editor Page 271 8.5.2.6.3 Sensor monitoring With this function the print-control of the PrintGo sensor is complemented with a second sensor.

Page 278 Page 276 Job Editor Group 8 Example: In this example the print shall be carried out on tubes. The printout is an endless print (e.g. Type, date of manufacturing, material etc.) and not each tube has the same length. In addition the distances between the tubes are not always the same. The basic mounting of the sensor and the print head is shown in Picture 10.
Page 279: Meter Go Function
Group 8 Job Editor Page 277 8.5.2.10 Meter Go function The Meter Go function is a special function for printing length specifications on cables, pipes etc. The function results from several parameter settings. With these settings one can ensure that the meter counter carries on counting even if there are no printouts.
Page 280 Page 278 Job Editor Group 8 Example: Assumptions and pre settings for this example: The JET3up printer is used for continuously printing on a cable emerging from a cable extruder device. The cable extruder mustn’t stop even if the printout fails. After a print interruption the printout should continue with the correct meter number.
Page 281 Group 8 Job Editor Page 279 Picture 15 shows the function diagram of the example. After 32 meters the printout stops for e.g. print head cleaning. Nevertheless the JET3up is still receiving PrintGo signals. Because of the <Counter Increment> setting with PrintGo (see picture 3) these signals can be used to keep the counter updated.
Page 282: Encoder Parameter
Group 8 8.5.3 Encoder parameter The printout of the LEIBINGER JET3up up is composed of single dots printed in groups of vertical lines. Such a vertical line of dots is called stroke. In order to position these strokes a StrokeGo signal is required. The StrokeGo signal determins at which position a stroke is printed.
Page 283: Encoder Source - Strokego-Source
If this function is activated signals from an external encoder (e.g. incremental encoder) are required. The encoder has to be connected to the interface X1 of the LEIBINGER JET3up. Additionally you have to define the <Encoder/Direction> (4) and the <Resolution> (5).
Page 284: Rotational Direction Of The Encoder And Directional Changes
Page 282 Job Editor Group 8 8.5.3.2 Rotational direction of the encoder and directional changes An encoder as StrokeGo source not only provides information about the speed and the position but also about the rotational direction. With the settings for the <Encoder/Direction>...
Page 285 Group 8 Job Editor Page 283 Example1 Settings: PrintGo repeat: endless Rotational direction: clockwise After a PrintGo signal the printout will start as soon as the StrokeGo signals from the encoder are received; provided that the signals indicate a clockwise rotation (1).
Page 286 Page 284 Job Editor Group 8 Example2 Settings: PrintGo repeat: endless Rotational direction: right Use encoder direction for mirror: activated Normally the printout would be mirrored if the print direction is changed from forward to backward (1). With the option <Use encoder direction for mirror> the printout will be mirrored a second time in order to get a proper printout (2).
Page 287: Encoder Resolution
Group 8 Job Editor Page 285 8.5.3.3 Encoder resolution The parameter <Resolution> is calculated from the impulses per rotation generated by the encoder used and the length of one rotation. The dimension is pulses/mm. Example: An encoder which generates 10.000 impulses/rotation with a friction wheel and which has a circumference of 200 mm is used.
Page 288: Speed Dependent Output
Page 286 Job Editor Group 8 8.5.3.5 Speed dependent output In dependence of a pre-adjusted speed limit, this special output signal switches ON or OFF. The setting for the output can be found in the main window under Settings ► I/O Settings ► Outputs. The speed dependent output can be assigned to any available output.
Page 289 Group 8 Job Editor Page 287 Example: This function may be used for Corona / Plasma pre-treatment security. A corona treatment device modifies the surface of materials especially plastic material as a preparation for the ink jet print. The corona treatment and the ink jet print happen on the fly.
Page 290: Speed Measuring With Two Sensors
Page 288 Job Editor Group 8 8.5.3.6 Speed measuring with two sensors As an alternative to the use of an external encoder or a constant internal speed there is a third option available: The current production speed can be measured on the basis of the signals from two sensors connected to interface X5.

Page 391: Encoder Guidelines And "Hot-Plugging" Of External Devices
Group 12 Appendix - Encoder Guidelines Page 389 12.3 Encoder guidelines and “hot-plugging” of external devices Encoders (also called incremental encoder) are used for the dynamic capture of angles of shafts or to measure distances and speed information. They are based on a technology which converts mechanical movements like rotation or linear movement to electrical digital signals.
Page 392 Page 390 Appendix - Encoder Guidelines Group 12 If an „internal clock“ (internal encoder) is used, there will appear deviations in the print width if the speed of the product would vary! Original print adjustment oft he „print width“: Slower speed as the faster speed as the original adjustment: original adjustment:...

Page 394 Page 392 Appendix - Encoder Guidelines Group 12 Connection of external devices on the printer: To protect the encoder and of course in a particular way the controller board of the printer, it is not allowed to plug and un-plug the connectors as long as the printer is switched on and connected to the main power supply.
