Faster Carriage Motion with Linear Motors

Switching from traditional belt-driven systems to linear motor-driven carriages revolutionizes printer performance. The linear motors enable direct, precise motion control with minimal vibration, leading to smoother prints and reduced maintenance. This new approach, ideal for flatbed printers with linear motors, ensures a longer-lasting printer that’s perfect for continuous use in industrial environments.

Built for Industrial Environments

SIGNRACER’s flatbed printers are built for the toughest industrial conditions. The newly designed encoder system, combined with linear motor technology, eliminates the need for delicate optical encoders. Its robust, non-contact design eliminates wear and tear, ensuring reliable operation throughout the printer’s life. This durability is especially important in environments with exposure to dust, ink, chemicals, and other contaminants, making SIGNRACER printers an ideal choice for industrial printing tasks.

Superior Accuracy with 1-Micron Linear Encoder

The 1-micron linear encoder, a key feature of SIGNRACER’s flatbed printers, delivers unmatched precision in carriage movement. This high level of accuracy ensures perfect alignment of print heads during every pass, which is essential for wide-format and detailed prints. The encoder’s performance is stable even under changing environmental temperatures, ensuring consistent, high-quality results across the entire production run.

Smoother Prints with Reduced Vibration

Vibration reduction plays a crucial role in maintaining print quality, especially in detailed graphics. SIGNRACER’s linear motor technology minimizes vibrations, allowing the carriage to move smoothly across the print surface. This improvement is vital for printing high-end 3D and distance prints where even slight vibrations can affect the final output. The smoother movement also ensures consistent results over long production runs, which is key in large-scale commercial printing.

Durability and Noise Reduction

Flatbed printers with linear motors offer significant durability improvements over traditional systems. By eliminating belts and pulleys, SIGNRACER printers experience less mechanical wear, leading to a longer lifespan. Furthermore, the simplified mechanical structure reduces noise levels, making the printers suitable for quieter environments. This increased durability, along with reduced noise, results in less downtime and more reliable printing operations in demanding industrial settings.

Higher Resolution: 1200 x 1210 DPI

SIGNRACER has upgraded its flatbed printers to a 1200 x 1210 DPI resolution, which allows for superior precision in color alignment and image detail. This higher resolution is particularly beneficial for high-end graphic design, photography, and other applications where visual clarity is essential. By utilizing the 1-micron linear encoder, this resolution enhancement captures even the smallest details with remarkable accuracy, delivering outstanding print results.
