Inkjet Printer Marking & Coding Solutions Highly reliable design and superior construction EFFICIENCY Invest in a Sustainable Coding Future Environmentally friendly with low operational costs Simple touchscreen operation with video-based guidance

For over 45 years, Hitachi has developed and produced high-performance inkjet printers based on the well-proven Continuous Inkjet (CIJ) principle for industrial marking. Hitachi Industrial IJ printers are high-speed printers adopting a non-contact printing method, ideal for a wide range of applications. They are capable of applying best-before dates, logos, barcodes, lot numbers and data matrix codes, which makes the new UX2 Series the perfect solution for both complex and standard applications. Highly Reliable Hitachi products are renowned for being extremely reliable in harsh environments....

Video Guidance onboard Safe-Clean Station (optional) Less print head cleaning Improved Print Quality Standard print head (up to 6 lines) Short print head (up to 2 lines)

Newly Designed To Stay Cleaner, Longer Increased Production – Less Downtime Conventional Printers Prints 3 Times Longer with Ink Guard With conventional print heads, ink mists*¹ are deposited onto components that control the inkjet. Over time, the build-up of ink can result in downtime leading to lost production. UX2 printers can print for 3 times longer than previous generations*² due to a unique print head design. The ink guard feature attracts the ink mist to a collection area away from the sensitive printing components. The result is fewer print quality issues and less frequent print head...

Clearer Codes Clear, Precise Codes at the Most Demanding Speeds Using improved dot control algorithms, our newly designed UX2 printer is capable of producing clearly legible codes at the most demanding production speeds. Dual Line Printing Three-Line Printing Available with Two Head Sizes to Optimize Print Quality Our standard head produces crisp code quality from 1 to 6 lines of print. A field configurable “short” print head option focuses on the most demanding print speed applications that require 1 or 2 lines of print.** * with high frequency compatible inks ** only 2-line printing possible...

Safe-Cleaning Printhead Added Convenience and Safety The sealed Safe-Clean Station thoroughly cleans and dries in one simple operation. Eliminate the need for open solvents when cleaning the print head. As the solvent volatilized during drying is sucked out by the air pump and discharged through the exhaust duct, the operator is not exposed to the solvent gas. All used make-up cleaning solvent is captured in a sealed reservoir - for safe disposal. Multiple cleaning modes Self-diagnosis by new Smart Start function Most of the downtime associated with inkjet printers is a result of a dirty nozzle....

Always ready to print Even after long periods of inactivity, the cleaning station eliminates build-up of dried ink by periodically running an automatic nozzle-rinse according to a pre-programmed schedule. This means that the printer is always ready to print and will not need any manual cleaning at start of production.

Built-In Troubleshooting Video on Board, for Preventative Maintenance and Recovery An interactive video on the printer screen guides users to carry out routine tasks, preventative maintenance activities and even recover the printer from a fault condition. It’s so intuitive, even untrained users can easily follow the on board video guidance. As a result, daily interaction with the UX2 is instinctive with no surprises. When needed, users will be guided by the video to clean the print head and add fluids. Interactive video guide High-resolution video � Guides the user to carry out routine tasks,...

Intuitive Display & Simplified Printer Setup Flexibility to Meet Your Needs The printer screen is designed with flexibility in mind. With a configurable home screen, you can choose what information is critical to display to operators. � Choose the information critical to your production needs. Icon-Based Display An intuitive screen with icon based indicators allowing users to quickly identify machine status, and ink levels. Familiar tablet-style touch screen allows swipe functionality similar to smartphones and tablets.

Quick Line Changeovers Move Printers with Ease Our quick-change I/O connectors enable printers to quickly move from line to line. Eliminate time-consuming mistakes by preconfiguring the I/O routing in advance.

Digital Network Support Integration with modern industrial protocols Modern Communication Protocols By employing modern open protocols such as OPC-UA, Hitachi’s printers are ready for the upcoming Industry 4.0/IoT revolution. This open-style data connectivity enables our printers to be compatible with virtually any networked platform, regardless of OS. In addition, the latest UX printers come equipped with Ethernet/IP, OPC-UA, Modbus and Serial RS-232. Hitachi is currently the first CIJ manufacturer to gain ODVA* approval for Ethernet/IP. * ODVA is a trade and standards development organisation,...

Invest in a Sustainable Coding Future Hitachi’s vision is to be a climate change innovator. Our mission is to resolve environmental issues and achieve a higher quality of life through a more sustainable society. Sustainable Design The UX2 series employs innovative and sustainable pump technology that not only ensures high reliability and lower operating cost, it also reduces VOC* emissions by restricting the amount of air being sucked into the ink circuit at the printhead. *VOC Volatile organic compounds are found in inks and make up MEK Free Inks Hitachi’s MEK-Free inks are designed to operate...

We are committed to creating resource efficient eco-friendly coding and marking solutions. Safe-Clean Station A safe operating environment is important for all manufacturing employees. Hitachi has created an innovative automated printhead cleaning station, that not only keeps operators free from fluid contamination, but also professionally cleans the printhead using the minimum amount of fluid. This means significant time savings and reduction of waste liquid. Power Save Mode Thanks to the pump design, the power consumption of the printer when printing is already one of the lowest at 73VA. However,...
