6. SAMPLE PREPARATION, TESTING AND ANALYSIS

6.1. Balance Temperature Stability

The force balance in the MAX 5000XL is most accurate in a stable temperature environment. To maintain a constant balance temperature, whether the instrument is testing or idling, the instrument heats the balance at initial power-up and maintains the balance temperature at all times.

The balance temperature stability icon is in the lower left corner of the LCD when viewing the main screen. It is a triangle with a line on top. A horizontal line indicates that the balance is temperature stable. A tilted line (as shown in the picture) indicates that the balance temperature is changing.

Upon first power up, the instrument may take 2 hours to stabilize the balance at an elevated temperature. If the instrument is toggled off and back on, the new balance warmup period may be 20 minutes to 1

hour. All Computrac Moisture Analyzers are recommended to be left turned on when not in use, so the balance warmup should not affect throughput after the initial stabilization period.

The first ashing test after a power up may increase the balance temperature slightly, and the warmup message may be displayed again for up to 1 hour after the first test. The message generally goes away while the instrument is cooling down and before it is ready for the next test.

Generally, balance calibration and low moisture/solids/ash testing (<1%) should be delayed until the balance temperature stabilization is complete, as indicated by the temperature stable icon .

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.
