17 February 2017

Digital inkjet technology developer Xaar has unveiled a new Midas ink supply system for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).The new compact ink and fluid supply system can be used in a range of applications.

The Midas system, which can be easily integrated, is ideal for full production and prototype systems.Produced in three variants, the Midas system can be used for single or multiple printhead configurations.

With a 60ml ink reservoir, the Xaar Midas 450 can provide up to 450ml per minute recirculation flow rates. It is suitable for advanced manufacturing, direct-to-shape and other applications jetting expensive fluids.

Xaar Midas 950C and 950X provide a fluid flow rate of up to 950 ml per minute with a 150 ml ink reservoir, enabling high volume and high throughput printing.

The new system is also compatible with Xaar 501, Xaar 502, Xaar 1003 systems, as well as, Xaar 2001 and Xaar 2001+ printheads. These all systems integrate Xaar’s TF Technology ink recirculation system.

Midas system’s ink temperatures can be controlled up to 65°C and recirculated within the angled tank to eliminate settling, which favors heavily pigmented inks

Xaar product manager Alan Mutch said: “The Midas range is the ideal choice for OEMs looking to accelerate time-to-market by reducing development requirements and costs, while also delivering the optimal performance for Xaar printheads.

“With its compact footprint and range of options, we are delighted to be offering such a flexible ink supply system.”
