Storage Fluid
Storage fluid is used to purge (clean) the printing system. The storage
fluid supply container is connected by a fluid line to a fitting on the rear of
the print station. The storage fluid container is usually a 5 gal. (20 L)
container. The storage fluid moves through an in-line filter to the storage
fluid fill valve and then into the storage fluid tank.
Waste Fluid
Waste fluid from system operations is collected in an internal tank. A float
switch in the internal tank sends a signal to the waste pump to move the
fluid to an external container. The external waste container is usually a
15 gal. (56.8 L) or 55 gal. (208 L) drum.
The vacuum system has a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) controller,
vacuum pump and its related components of a mist filter, vacuum drying
valve, vacuum bleed valve, fluid tanks, and interconnecting fluid lines.
The vacuum system is used to pull fluids into the print station from the
external fluid containers and to assist in the circulation of fluid between
the print station and the PIC box/jetting module.
Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the vacuum
system.
The ink temperature control system is used to heat/cool the ink so that it
maintains a temperature of 86°F ± 9°F (30°C ± 5°C). The system has a
power supply, thermoelectric control Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and
thermoelectric heating/cooling module.
Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the ink
temperature control system.
The control and monitoring system is made up of PCBs. The PCBs
monitor signals from the transducers and sensors in the fluid system.
These components give control signals to the different valves and pumps.
The state of the control signals is dependent on commands from the
software, input from the system controller, or input from transducers and
sensors.
Contact a Kodak service technician for maintenance on the control and
monitoring system.
