3.1. Hardware

The MAX 5000XL consists of:

∙A ceramic convection air oven

∙A precision balance weighing mechanism with a resolution of 0.0001 gram and a full scale range of 100 grams

∙A backlit, color graphic liquid crystal display

∙A microprocessor that controls the test process, data handling, communications, and performs all necessary calculations, and

∙Connectors on the back panel for an Ethernet connection, parallel printer, and serial communications devices (Other connections are provided that will be implemented in later revisions to the instrument.)

The MAX 5000XL is designed to remain powered up at all times.

The balance requires a lengthy warm up period. The first test of the day can be made sooner and with more accuracy if the unit remains powered over night. When not in use, select a test with start temperature of 25º C and keep the lid down. The oven will remain cool and the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) backlight will turn off after a period of inactivity to conserve energy. Press any key to restore illumination to the LCD.

If the test process is interrupted by outside interference such as static discharge, surges or drops in line voltage, or otherwise freezes its operation and/or display, reset the instrument by recycling power. By turning the instrument off and back on, the instrument should return to normal operation. If the instrument does not return to normal operation, contact AZI Customer Service at 800-528-7411, 602-470-1414, or by e-mail at support@azic.com.

3.2. Oven

The ceramic sample oven maintains accurate temperature control to prevent sample degradation as it removes volatile components as quickly as possible. A Resistance Temperature Device (RTD) mounted near the heater measures oven temperature. Temperature is held within one or two degrees of the set value (depending on the set value) after equilibrium is reached. The oven usually reaches test temperature in 90 to 180 seconds, depending on the difference between the starting and setpoint temperatures. The oven is automatically turned off when the test is completed.

Due to the nature of the oven lining, the oven is cool almost immediately after opening the lid. The sample will remain hot much longer than the oven itself so caution is required when removing used sample pans from the oven.

MAX-5000XL specifications

The Arizona MAX-5000XL is a premier flatbed printer designed for high-volume printing applications, renowned for its versatility and cutting-edge technology. This remarkable machine is part of the Arizona series from Océ, a brand recognized for its innovation in digital printing solutions. The MAX-5000XL is specifically engineered to deliver high-quality graphics across various substrates, making it a favorite among businesses in signage, graphics, and packaging industries.

One of the standout features of the MAX-5000XL is its expansive printing capacity. With a maximum bed size of 126 x 98 inches, it can accommodate large sheets, enabling the production of oversized prints without the need for cumbersome tiling or trimming. This feature not only saves time but also enhances operational efficiency, allowing businesses to streamline their workflow.

The MAX-5000XL employs advanced UV printing technology, which uses ultraviolet light to cure the ink instantly as it is printed. This results in vibrant colors, sharp details, and improved durability, making prints resistant to scratches, chemicals, and UV exposure. The printer’s ink system features highly pigmented inks that produce stunning images, offering a wide color gamut that is perfect for demanding graphical applications.

Moreover, the printer is equipped with a sophisticated high-resolution imaging system that delivers outstanding print quality at resolutions up to 1440 dpi. This level of detail ensures that even the finest elements of a design are replicated with precision. The machine also incorporates a variable dot technology that optimizes ink droplet size based on the image content, further enhancing the overall image quality.

Another notable characteristic of the Arizona MAX-5000XL is its user-friendly interface. The printer features intuitive software that simplifies setup, operation, and maintenance, enabling operators to focus more on production rather than troubleshooting. The machine also supports automated printing features, reducing manual intervention and helping to improve turnaround times.

In addition, the MAX-5000XL is designed with sustainability in mind. Its low-energy LED UV curing technology not only reduces energy consumption but also minimizes the environmental impact of the printing process. The ability to print on a wide range of substrates, including rigid and flexible materials, also expands the creative possibilities for designers while offering greater options for businesses looking to cater to diverse markets.

In summary, the Arizona MAX-5000XL is a state-of-the-art flatbed printer that combines large-format capabilities, exceptional print quality, and advanced technology. Its user-friendly features and emphasis on sustainability make it an ideal choice for businesses seeking to elevate their printing operations to new heights.
