A large character drop-on-demand valve marking system specifically designed for challenging industrial applications.
Powered by MPERIA™, Matthews’ VIAjet™ V-Series marking system features our reliable drop-on-demand (DOD) valve technology which marks on porous and non-porous substrates including metal, paper and pulp, wood, concrete, and plastic. Matthews’ DOD valve print heads are considered the fastest in the industry, marking product at speeds over 800 fpm (244 meters/min), with the longest life – over 6 billion rings per head.
The V-Series features large character print, ranging from 1/8” to 5” (3mm to 127mm), and the capability to stack print heads for large logos. These features, combined with its rugged design, make V-Series ideal to meet the demands of extreme environments, such as building products, steel mills, and other challenging industries.
The VIAjet™ V-Series is powered by the MPERIA™ platform. The MPERIA™ controller e ectively manages messages and settings for multiple printers across one or several production lines or plant locations. An extensive selection of pre-formatted and con gurable counters, batch counts, user-de ned text elds, and barcode symbologies makes message creation and selection a breeze with the intuitive, touch screen interface. Seamless integration with ERP/MRP/WMS systems helps to reduce coding errors. Best of all, MPERIA™ is expandable, allowing you to add other print heads or other print technologies, as needed, promising a sound secure investment.
Our DOD valve technology and MPERIA™ controller are connected by V-Link, an enclosed module featuring an internal power supply and print head driver board. Each V-Link drives up to 32 valves (1-4 print heads). Hundreds of V-Link’s can be stacked and networked through MPERIA™, providing a exible and scalable system for small or very large applications.
