A new dimension of user-friendliness

For many years, continuous inkjet printers from Paul Leibinger have provided maximum quality and reliability in non-contact labelling of products of all kinds. In the JET3up, the company provides its customers with even higher performance, even better user guidance and greater added value through more than 800 functions integrated by default. With its new JET3up continuous inkjet printer, the German marking specialist looks into the future with confidence. The upgrade to the previous JET3 model features state-of-the-art inkjet technology, many new functions and an even more user-friendly interface design. Like all other Leibinger small-character inkjet printers, the new JET3up is equipped with the automated Sealtronic nozzle seal, which prevents the ink in the printhead from drying out, even during long downtimes. In combination with clean instant start and stop technology, the user is always capable of starting the printer within a few seconds, without the need for maintenance or rinse cycles. The JET3up meets any customer requirements due to its 800 integrated standard functions and numerous model variants. The variants JET3up PI for pigmented inks, JET3up MI for microprints and JET3up PRO with industry standard IP65 for wet and dusty production environments make it fast and easy to find the suitable inkjet printer model for any industry and application. The drop position control technology also ensures a higher print quality through even more accurate placement of the ink drops. The software interface of the JET3up series has been modernised comprehensively, making operation even more convenient for the user. New elements, such as individual buttons for direct access and illustrated operator instructions, help with orientation and ease of menu guidance. The operator also benefits from valuable additional information that is available at any time on the printer monitor. This includes the precise fill level of the solvent and ink tanks, pending prints remaining in the current print job, number of printed ink drops and the print speed (feet/min or products/min).

series is ensured at all times due to the shortened printhead of 212mm and a large selection of printhead versions. While the printer is on, remote access via VNC makes it possible to control the printer conveniently from any computer in the company or from the production control station. Commands can also be sent from a tablet or smartphone to the JET3up via WiFi. Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.leibinger-group.com

During the development of the JET3up, great value was placed on the efficiency of the device. Minimum energy consumption, low heat development, low maintenance costs and special options such as the solvent recycling system EcoSolv assist in continuously keeping the operating costs at a low level. Additionally, solvent saving mode makes sure that zero per cent of the solvent is used during production breaks. The easy integration of the JET3up

Nile Delta project

NEXANS will deliver 48km of static umbilicals for the West Nile Delta Taurus Libra project in Egypt. The Taurus Libra development is a subsea project tied in to existing BG Group operated Burullus facilities, and the umbilical delivery forms an important part of this subsea development. The umbilicals will consist of electrical and fibre optic cables together with hydraulic and chemical lines. They will be designed, engineered and manufactured at Nexans’ specialised subsea cable and umbilical facilities in Halden and Rognan, Norway, with delivery scheduled for May 2016. The West Nile Delta project involves the development of gas and condensate fields within the North Alexandria and West Mediterranean Deepwater concessions in the Mediterranean Sea, between 65km and 85km off the Alexandrian coast. The Taurus Libra project is part of the first phase of the West Nile Delta fields development. Nexans – France Website : www.nexans.com
