Causes and solutions of all resin carbon strip fracture

The causes for the fracture of all-resin carbon belt may involve many aspects, including material characteristics, service conditions, equipment status and so on. The following is the analysis of the causes of the fracture of the all-resin carbon belt and the corresponding solutions:

Fracture causes

1. Material property

The base film is too thin or poor quality: the base film of the all-resin carbon strip is the carrier of the carbon strip, and its strength and thickness will directly affect the ductility of the carbon strip. If the base film is too thin or of poor quality, the carbon strip is easy to break when stressed.

2. Conditions of use

Printing temperature is too high: During the printing process, if the printing temperature is too high, the all-resin carbon strip may melt and break due to excessive heat. Especially when printing full-plate horizontal lines or fine text, improper print head temperature setting is more likely to lead to carbon band breakage.

Printing speed is too slow: Printing speed is too slow may also cause the carbon band to break. Because the carbon belt stays in the print head for too long, the heat accumulation is too much, and it is easy to fracture.

Print concentration is too high: the print concentration is proportional to the print head temperature, and a high concentration means that the print head temperature needs to be increased accordingly, thereby increasing the risk of carbon band breakage.

3. Device status

Carbon belt shaft tension is too large: If the damping setting of the carbon belt supply shaft and carbon belt recovery shaft of the barcode printer is too large, the rollback force of the carbon belt will become larger, and the possibility of carbon belt fracture will be aggravated.

Poor print head condition: There is a stain or residue on the surface of the print head, or the contact between the print head and the carbon strip is uneven, which can also lead to the carbon strip breaking.

Solutions

1. Choose the right carbon belt

Choose all resin carbon strips with moderate base film thickness and reliable quality to avoid using inferior carbon strips.

2. Adjust print Settings

Reduce the printing temperature: under the premise of ensuring the clarity of the printing, reduce the printing temperature as much as possible to avoid the carbon belt due to excessive heat fracture.

Improve the printing speed: properly increase the printing speed, reduce the time that the carbon belt stays in the print head, and reduce the heat accumulation.

Adjust the print concentration: Adjust the print concentration to the lowest concentration that is just enough to print clearly, avoiding unnecessary temperature increases.

3. Optimize equipment status

Adjust the pull of the carbon tape shaft: According to the printer's manual or technical guide, adjust the pull of the carbon tape supply shaft and the recovery shaft to ensure that the carbon tape is evenly stressed during the rewinding process.

Clean the print head: Clean the print head surface regularly to ensure that it is free of dust, stains or residues and maintains good contact with the carbon strip.

4. Pay attention to the use environment

Ensure that the printing environment is dry and clean to avoid excessive humidity or foreign matter to cause damage to the carbon belt.

5. Regular maintenance and inspection

Regular maintenance and inspection of the barcode printer to ensure that it is in good working condition. Check the print head, carbon belt shaft and other key components for wear or abnormal, timely replacement or maintenance.

To sum up, to solve the problem of all-resin carbon belt fracture, it is necessary to start from many aspects such as material selection, printing Settings, equipment status and so on. Through comprehensive policies, the risk of carbon belt fracture can be effectively reduced, and the printing quality and efficiency can be improved.
