Leibinger updates software for JET3 printers

PAUL LEIBINGER GmbH & Co. KG has updated its WINJET3 software for controlling multiple JET3 inkjet printers with a new module. This software is used to mark and code product ranges on a gantry system, in order to ensures a more efficient and cost-effective production process.

Before a print job, the WINJET3 XY automatically calculates the optimum travel path on the specific gantry system in seconds. During printing, the software controls the printhead on the labeling axis as it moves across the imprinted products. This feature allows marking and coding of materials such as boards, components or packaging quickly from left to right and top to bottom.

Features on the new Leibinger software include high storage capacity and an intuitive, user-friendly interface. Since the software has variable input fields, the programme can be adapted to different new product ranges. Amongst the parameters that can be selected are “Packaging units per carton”, “Number of products in the batch” and “Assignment of products”.

The printing and production progress are specified in numbers as a percentage and shown in a continuous bar graph, whilst a counter indicates number of imprinted products, all of which can be viewed and monitored via PC.
