7.3. Selection of Ending Criteria

The decision of which ending criteria to use is application dependent. Best results are typically given with PREDICTION or RATE, rather than TIME. Experiment with your particular sample to determine which criterion is best for your product. See Ending Criteria on page 26.

For PREDICTION, the MAX 5000XL uses a sample dependent test to automatically end a test. The test, called the reliability criterion, is equal to the "actual moisture loss" at a given moment divided by the end point predicted by the microprocessor times 100. The ending ratio can be set to a value from 00 to 99 depending on the user's desire to balance speed and accuracy. The smaller the number, the sooner each test will end. A value of 99 means the actual moisture loss must exceed 99% of the predicted end point.

For RATE, the MAX 5000XL ends the test when the sample weight loss rate has fallen below a preset percentage value. This is useful for samples that do not conform to the standard exponential drying model but will show a consistent moisture rate loss at some point in the process. The parameter may be set for values from 0.0010% to 9.9999% loss rate.

For TIME, the MAX 5000XL ends the test after a preset time of up to 120 minutes has past. This is sometimes useful for diagnostic and research purposes.

Use “TEMP THEN …” to prevent a test from ending before the test temperature has been obtained. This can be helpful for ashing, which takes a while to reach the final temperature, and for testing ultra low moisture samples, which don’t readily release moisture at the beginning of the test.

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.
