Full-Loop Ink Supply and Return
The supply pump, printhead feed/return ports and return pump form a complete path, reducing stagnant areas in the ink system.
FHES / PIJ SERIES S
The S series uses FCS full-loop ink circulation to manage the complete supply/return path. Combined with pressure feedback at both printhead ends and dual-pump PID control, it provides a system foundation for multi-orientation and moving printing.
360° denotes multi-orientation solution capability; validate ink, printheads, motion paths and curing positions against actual operating conditions.
S SERIES / PRODUCT GUIDE01 / ADVANTAGES
FCS manages the ink supply/return path from the tank through the printhead and back to the tank.
The supply pump, printhead feed/return ports and return pump form a complete path, reducing stagnant areas in the ink system.
Measure inlet and return pressure near the printhead, and adjust the two pumps using inlet pressure and the target pressure differential respectively.
Validate side printing, upward printing and robotic moving printing item by item against orientation and dynamic pressure.
02 / SYSTEM
Full-loop circulation describes the system-level supply/return path; circulation behind the nozzles depends on the specific printhead structure.
Provide continuous ink supply to the printhead.
Measure pressure at two points near the printhead.
Adjust return flow according to the target pressure differential and return ink to the tank.
The application focus differs from SL series CCS: S series FCS focuses on the complete supply/return path and multiple orientations; SL series CCS focuses on recirculation near the printhead and nozzle condition.
03 / MODEL SELECTION
Check print width, resolution, target speed and printing distance together.
| Model | printhead | Print Width | Native Resolution | Speed | Reference Throw Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S1 | CF6R | 53.95 mm | 600 npi | 30 m/min | 25 mm |
| S2 | RC1536 | 108.3 mm | 360 npi | 157 m/min | 50 mm |
| S3 | Xaar 2002 | 70.5 mm | 720 npi | 75 m/min | 15 mm |
| S4 | G5F | 54.1 mm | 600 npi | 76 m/min | 8 mm |
Speeds are stated for printheads at native resolution × native resolution; throw distance and actual output are subject to sample testing.
04 / APPLICATIONS
Determine the system configuration from the printing objective, material and actual site speed.
Assess the negative-pressure operating window for side and angled printing through workpiece positioning and printing-distance calibration.
Check acceleration, deceleration, hose drag and trigger timing along the motion path.
Continuous recirculation reduces tubing sedimentation risk; tank agitation, filtration and ink stability still require validation.
Configure multiple-printhead stitching or overlapping according to flow rate, pressure differential and return-flow capacity.
05 / CONFIGURATION
Let actual samples and operating conditions determine the printhead, ink, mounting and control solution.
System capabilities can be combined for the project; printheads, ink and optional functions are subject to the final delivery list and actual testing.
APPLICATION TEST / FHES
Provide actual samples, print content and target line speed, and complete selection testing under the project's operating conditions.
