Test and measurement instrumentation is used in every conceivable type of manufacturing, construction, and maintenance process. And whether these devices are measuring temperatures in the field or testing semiconductors in a lab, printed output is essential and must meet rigorous specifications for accuracy and reliability.
Seiko Instruments offers a wide range of embedded and standalone direct thermal printer solutions to satisfy the functionality, design flexibility, robustness, and operational efficiency of the most demanding test and measurement equipment. These include:
- Printer mechanisms, with ASIC or controller board, for maximum design flexibility
- Turnkey print subassembly for fast kiosk integration
- Highly reliability mobile printer
- Compact portable printer for budget-sensitive desktop applications
- Highly durable and with few moving parts, direct offer the long-life mechanical reliability essential to test and measurement equipment designers.
- Rugged construction for operation in a wide range of environments
- Few moving parts, for extended reliability and low maintenance
- Choice of straight or curved paper path supports different mechanical requirements
- Automated printer monitoring for remote maintenance alerts
- EZOPTM clamshell design speeds paper replacement
- RoHS compliant
- Best-in-class heavy-duty, high-speed CAP9000 printer mechanisms offer: 10" per second print speed, up to 150 kilometers of high-resolution output, one million head pulses before replacement, and operation in temperatures to -20C
- Turnkey subassembly solutions offer innovative tension roller and brake design and support wide-diameter paper rolls to reduce maintenance and the risk of paper jams and wrinkled or illegible output.
Whether designed-in as a simple print mechanism, sourced as a total print subassembly solution, or implemented as a standalone portable printer, Seiko Instruments direct offer full mechanical, electrical, and software integration. Seiko Instruments supports integration engineers with 3D IGES images of printer specifications that can be dropped into existing drawings. In addition to supplied Windows 2000 and XP drivers, an SDK, complete with software tools and sample code, supports fast development of driver software.
