CONTINUOUS INKJET PRINTERS
Hitachi has sold more than 43,000 printers worldwide and every new generation of printer improves to meet the customer requirements worldwide. The company’s newest line of continuous inkjet printers are the PXR Series and fully meet new European RoHS Directive (Restriction on Hazardous Substances, Directive 2002/95/EC). RoHS Directive prohibits that electrical and electronic equipment contains lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated biphenyl ethers (PBDE).
The PXR Series deploys a 10.4” large Color TFT/LCD Touch Panel with full guidance on the screen providing easy and quick operation and maintenance. The PXR Series’ unique and innovative ink circulation system helps reduce fluid evaporation and achieves a very low cost of operation. Nozzle and gutter are automatically cleaned before shut down, so no special procedures are required on start-up. PX Series viscosity and density control provides stable ink drop formation and keeps print quality high.
Hitachi raised the technology bar for marking/coding industry.
AC VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES
Hitachi’s newest X200 Series micro frequency drives deliver extraordinary power and flexibility in an extremely compact and efficient contactor-style (power input at the top/motor output at the bottom) package. The result is performance unsurpassed in a low-cost micro-drive, and an inverter that can fit more applications than ever before. Other features include a greatly improved trip avoidance function, automatic energy saving function, built-in timing logic, analog input math (PLC) functions, and RS485 Modbus/RTU communication interface. Many other useful functions are standard. Designed with the environment in mind, the X200 is RoHS compliant. A new Safe Stop feature provides a hardware-based emergency stop function compliant with EN standards. Another new X200 function decelerates and stops the motor using regenerative energy from the load when the AC supply power is lost.
Hitachi’s entire AC Variable Speed Drives Line will provide the choice to the users for proper application such as Pumps, Fans, Chillers, Compressors, Cranes, Hoists, Elevators, Various OEM Machines and more.
