Temperatures

This menu gives access to three temperature parameters, an oven stable indication, an ashing moisture rate control parameter, and an enable switch used during a test.

Test Temperature - The current temperature setpoint is displayed to the right of TEST TEMPERATURE. Press [ENT] and the cursor will be positioned at the left most significant digit. Use the number keys to enter the desired test temperature. When finished, press [ENT] to stop editing and save the new figure or [ESC] to cancel the change.

Test HiStart Temperature – When active, the HiStart temperature is used at the start of the test, and the test continues at that temperature until the rate of moisture loss falls to half of its peak value. The heater then changes to the Test temperature for the remainder of the test. This shortens a long test and may be useful for tests > 15 minutes. When used, try a HiStart temperature 25ºC above the Test temperature. To deactivate the HiStart feature, set the HiStart temperature to 25ºC.

Idle Temperature - The temperature that is maintained by the instrument between tests. This speeds testing, by decreasing the time required to heat the sample chamber at the beginning of the test. It can save 10 to 120 seconds of test time if properly used. A common idle temperature value is 50ºC or 80ºC for most products. For plastics, a 100ºC idle is desirable. For ashing, a 100ºC idle may be desirable to reduce time between tests. Any value between room temperature and 300º C can be used. Experiment to see what value is best for your application. Too high a value will cause low results because the sample is evaporating while the basis weight is being measured at the beginning of the test.

Temp Rate - The temperature is controlled to the specified rate while ramping to the setpoint. Set to 0 to disable. Do not use this in conjunction with ash rate.

TEMP RATE MUST NOT BE USED AT ASHING TEMPERATURES BECAUSE IT WILL NOT PREVENT SAMPLE IGNITION AND HEATER DAMAGE CAN RESULT. INSTEAD, USE ASH RATE TO PREVENT SAMPLE IGNITION.

Chamber Stabilization - When a number other than zero is entered, a chamber stability warning will appear at the bottom of the Main Test Screen. Although this function will not prevent tests from being run, the results from extremely low/high moisture samples will be improved if the test is not started until the display indicates “CHAMBER STABLE”. For ultra low moisture samples, 5-minute stabilization will help repeatability. For ultra low ash samples, 10-minute stabilization will help repeatability.

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.
