Connection of signals 1-23

(3) Notes on welder welding current

The IJ printer operates with its ink particles electrically charged.  Therefore, a signal 

(weak current) ground and frame ground are connected to it.

+++

+++

Signal ground

Nozzle Column of ink

Charge electrode

Consequently, when a large current (e.g., welder welding current) flows in from the

outside via the frame ground, it also flows to the signal ground and may damage the

printed circuit boards. 

Therefore, when conducting welding operations near the IJ printer (there must be no

flame or arc within 5m of the printer), use the following method.

Insulate the main frame of the IJ printer, print head unit, and print target detector body

from the conveyor and earth ground, and provide one-point grounding for the IJ printer

ground terminal only. 

When this method is employed, welding operations can be conducted even while the IJ

printer is running.

 Welding precautions

E

Ink drops are charged when a voltage is

applied between the charge electrode and

ink column as indicated at left.  Therefore,

the ink is always the signal ground.  

Further, since the ink is connected to the

frame ground via the circulation path

retainers and the like, it is difficult to

separate the signal ground from the frame

ground.

Principles of charging

WARNING

¡

Keep flames at least 5m away from the machine.

The ink and makeup ink are both flammable. Flames

geherated by welders may cause ignition or fire. Ensure adequate
uentitation in order to not into the fire within 5m of the printer in
printing or no-printing.

In the interest of safety, fumish a dry-chemical fire extinguisher near

the printer.
