DESCRIPTION OF THE AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLE:

Since the AUTOMATIC cleaning cycle can be set cyclically, it is possible to change the time intervals in
relation to the type of production that is being performed, based on whether full or dithered fields are being
printed the time between cycles can be increased or decreased.
Start the cleaning cycle,

making sure that the

Management Photocell
The interval time can start counting down
when the heads plate is in its Down position
and that a leading edge arrives for the
Cleaning management Photocell positioned
along the glazing line.
As the automatic cleaning interval time "CLEAN EVERY" is counting down, the presence of tiles along the
glazing line is constantly monitored. If no tiles travel under the photocell, the interval time stops in order to
start another interval time between effective tile production cycles.
When the interval time lapses, acoustic and visual signals let you know that the cleaning cycle is starting.

so as to clear the tile line. The machine checks for the presence of tiles on the line through the cleaning management
photocell. If the photocell remains free for the amount of time set in the system parameters
25 sec
the line is considered clear of tiles and the cleaning cycle will start.
CLEANING PHASES:
1) Raising the heads plate to the cleaning position.
2) Start EV4 suction to switch from plate steam suction to carriage suction.
3)The Inks depression for the amount of time of
2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0 2.0

is set at

set in the cleaning system setup.
7) When the set number of cycles is finished, the suction carriage parks itself, travelling at a speed of
50
8) Once the carriage is parked, electro-valve EV4 will de-energise, making suction switch to the suction hoods, and the
heads plate descend to the set printing distance.
To set the cleaning system correctly, adjust the TILE STOP time so that when the heads plate descends,
the tiles are near the start of the digital machine's conveyor belt,
to lose as little production as possible.

3. ALARM LOAD INKS

This allows you to establish a max time in which the ink must be loaded by the general tanks into
the recirculation bars. This is used to report when the general ink tanks are empty.
30
60
This allows 2 thresholds to be set for No ink in the recirculation and loading system bar alarms.
When the ink drops below the level of the loading bar, the level sensor switches on and the load pump draws
ink until it reaches the level, at which point the sensor will switch off.
If the level of ink contained in the loading bar does not reach the sensor within the time set in the "SET
PRE-ALARM LOAD INKS" parameter, a pre-alarm will be set off, with a message reporting no ink and an
acoustic signal, without stopping the conveyor belt, however.
If the ink does not reach the level of the load sensor, even beyond the "SETS THE INK LOAD ALARM TIME",
the alarm will be set off, consequently stopping the conveyor belt.

5. CLOGGING ALARM
From here you can set an alarm for any jammed tiles on the conveyor belt due to the tiles stopping on the
mechanical safety band set up at the entrance to the head plate.
Safety
Band
Tile and start print detection PTC
Once a time has been set on the screen in question, a jamming alarm will be set off.
If the print PTC remains engaged with the conveyor belt running for this amount of time, it means that for
whatever reason, a tile was not stopped by the thickness controls and was stopped by the heads protection
band at the entrance. The belt will therefore be stopped immediately.
This alarm will also be set off when a series of tiles are attached together and cannot be printed, as there is no
leading edge on the PTC.
By setting this at 0, the control will be disabled.

This is the delay time applied to energising any scrap system installed in the glazing line
SCRAP SYSTEM OPENING TIME:
This is the energising time of any electro-valve or actuator in the scrap system
In addition to emptying, by using a digital output in the electrical panel, it is possible to connect a valve
for any installed scrap system, so that the tiles remaining under the printing heads can be rejected
by applying a delay time to when the scrap system opening valve is energised and the
duration it remains open.

TEMPERATURE:
This allows you to set the temperature of the ink. By enter a value and turning the ink recirculation pump
on, it is brought up to the set temperature.
The box on the far right displays the sensor temperature reading.
DEPRESSION:
This allows you to set the ink depression on the printing head through the relative regulating instruments.
(from 0 to 100%).
The box on the far right displays the instrument depression reading.
PRESSURE:
This box is only displayed when there are GS12 printing heads. It allows you to set the ink pressure on
the printing head from the pressure switches set up inside the colour trays.
The box on the far right displays the instrument pressure reading.

RECIRCULATION PUMP
This allows you to enable/disable the recirculation pump.
A popup window asks you to confirm disabling the pump:
With the recirculation pump OFF, the last depression value to be set remains active.
If the Depression changes, the value will be saved, but will only be enabled when the recirculation pump
is switched ON.
MAXIMUM SPEED RECIRCULATION PUMP:
This parameter sets the recirculation pump speed to regulate the unload level in the UL distribution
tank.
The pump works at this speed when the UL sensor reads the ink level, indicating that the level has
reached the maximum set value. (the red led above the sensor is off)
MINIMUM SPEED RECIRCULATION PUMP:
The pump works at this speed when the UL sensor does not read the ink level, which is low,
causing the level to rise by means of the depression (the red led above the sensor is on).
LOAD PUMP
This box is only displayed when there are GS12 printing heads.
This allows you to enable/disable the load pump installed in the tray under the conveyor belt.
Once it is ON, the relative LL sensor manages operation by drawing in ink when the level is low.
By selecting the "LOAD MANAGEMENT " box it is possible to access the load system settings.

Depression adjustment
80 %
-10 kPa
This parameter is used to regulate the depression inside the head, by means of the relative pressure
regulators, and is only enabled if the recirculation pumps are ON.
THE DEPRESSION REGULATING INSTRUMENTS ARE LOCATED ON THE REAR OF THE MACHINE
WHERE THE INKS ARE INSTALLED
The instruments located on the rear, inside the structure, are the depression regulators, and the displayed
value is the depression measured for every single colour.
The setting of the operator panel is proportional to the value read by the instrument, in this ratio:
Ex.
With a set value of 50, the displayed value is -6
With a set value of 20, the displayed value is -3.
If the reading displayed on the instrument is 0, but the setting on the operator panel is a greater, this may
indicate that there is a leak in the depression circuit or that the connection fittings on the circuit are open.
Normally, for every type of ink, it is necessary to set a depression value, and on average, the settable value
(when the heads are connected) is within a range of 45 / 60.
The depression setting must also, in addition to stopping the ink from leaking out from the print head, not be
too high, otherwise during printing only a minimum quantity will feed out from the head, printing irregularly
and incompletely, with lines.
If an excessively high depression value is entered by mistake, or the recirculation pumps are stopped, you
run the risk of having the ink run back up the depression circuit.
Depression
Recirculation pump OFF
Safety float
42
To stop this from damaging the depression regulating instruments, a safety float is set up inside the relative
container so that if the ink level reaches it, it will stop the depression and accordingly stop the ink from
running back up.
If this system does not provide enough protection, inside the rear of the structure, there is a collection
container for any ink that has accidentally run back up the depression circuit.
DEPRESSION REGULATING INSTRUMENTS
RESCUE RECIPIENTS FOR THE

VACUUM SWITCHES
Periodically check whether there is coloured ink inside the ink collection containers, to avoid ink from flowing
into the depression regulators.
Adjust the depression when a BYPASS is put in place of the head:
when the heads are disconnected from the ink system, ink BYPASS tubes are set up in place of the head
recirculation tubes so as to maintain ink recirculation in the system.
If all of the heads are disconnected and BYPASS tubes are set up, it is necessary to adjust the depression
so that the ink does not run back up into the depression circuit.
Normally when these tubes are connected, it is necessary to adjust the depression to 12 / 14 %

Ink recirculation speed regulation

30 %
50 %
Once you have set the working depression (to avoid the ink from coming out of the head, at least, ex. 50.0),
and the 2 Pump speeds, it is necessary to put the RECIRCULATION PUMP on ON to start the cycle.
Ex.
MIN. PUMP SPEED % = 24.0
MAX. PUMP SPEED % = 36.0
The depression raises the ink level inside the Unload distribution tank until the level sensor detects the ink
surface (led on above the UL Sensor), the pump operates at MIN. PUMP SPEED%, a speed that stops
operation, or at least greatly reduces rotation, allowing the depression make the ink level rise. (fig.1).
When the level rises to a point where the UL sensor detects it (led off above the UL sensor), the pump changes
speed, switching to MAX. PUMP SPEED%, lowering the ink level (fig.2).
If the ink continues to rise, it is necessary to increase the MAX. PUMP SPEED% until a setting is found, that
creates a balance between depression and pump speed, keeping the ink level steady.

Ink temperature regulation

40.0 C
39.6 C
This parameter sets the working ink temperature which, based on the characteristics of the ink, needs to
be set for printing.
On the main screen, the temperature is displayed in real time for every single ink.
When a temperature is set, the recirculation pump must be ON, otherwise the value will not be applied.
Load pump operation
To turn on the load pumps the LOAD PUMP parameter and the recirculation pumps must be on ON, and
the heads plate must be down.
This parameter sets the value for the load level that the ink needs to maintain inside the LL load tank, by
making the load pump inside the trays where the ink tanks are installed start or stop.
CALIBRATING THE "LL" LEVEL SENSOR

Calibrating the load level sensor is required in order to decide at what level we wish to maintain the ink
inside the LL load tank.

temperature and the 2 pump speeds have been set:
Ex.
MIN. PUMP SPEED % = 24.0
MAX. PUMP SPEED % = 36.0

PROCEDURE TO RAISE THE LEVEL:

Place recirculation in ON, and make the level rise until the sensor Led switches off, indicating that the ink
surface has been detected.
Now, if the level is too low, turn the regulating screw counter-clockwise until the sensor led comes back on,
make the ink rise until it reaches the required level and the led is off.
Now, in automatic, if the pump speed values are correct, the system will automatically adjust the set level.
Close the regulating screw with the relative cap.
PROCEDURE TO LOWER THE LEVEL:

Place recirculation in ON. If the current level is too high, it is necessary to turn the regulating screw clockwise
until the level is detected. During this regulating operation, the reading is forced, making the signalling led
above the sensor switch off.

Recirculation pump operation

30 %
50 %
When recirculation is OFF, ink heating is disabled, and any change in the depression value will not be sent
to the vacuum switches, which keep the last enabled recirculation adjustment. When recirculation is enabled,
the ink will be heated by means of the relative auto-regulation, and the depression will be set with the set value.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN RECIRCULATION IS DISABLED, THE SET DEPRESSION WILL MAKE THE LEVEL IN THE UL
RECIRCULATION TANK RISE UNTIL ALL OF THE INK IS TRANSFERRED FROM HERE TO THE LL
LOAD TANK.
ACCORDINGLY, IT IS NECESSARY TO LOAD THE LL TANK WITH A QUANTITY SUCH THAT THE SUM
OF THE 2 TANKS DOES NOT EXCEED THE CAPACITY OF EITHER ONE, TO AVOID THE INK FROM
RUNNING BACK UP THE DEPRESSION TUBES.
A SAFETY FLOAT INSIDE THE RELATIVE CONTAINER, THEREFORE, STOPS THE DEPRESSION,
