Label printers SQUIX

Category:

Description

They are for use in a wide range of applications. They have been developed with a constant focus on easy and intuitive operation as well as high reliability.

The print mechanics and the chassis are made from high-quality materials and perfectly match in shape and function. A large number of peripherals and software enable customer-specific solutions.

Whether operated stand-alone, linked to a PC or in a network – the rugged printers are always up to the mark. A powerful processor results in print jobs performed quickly and labels provided straight away.

SQUIX 4 Basic version

Basic device
providing a tear-off plate

They print on labels or on continuous materials wound on rolls or fanfold. Materials are torn off on a jagged plate. Cutting is an option, so is external rewinding.

SQUIX 4 Peel-off version P

Peel-off device
providing a rewinder internally

Peeling off labels is a feature added to a basic version. Labels are separated from the liner after printing to be removed by hand or by an applicator.


The extra wide one
to print pallet or barrel labels

SQUIX details
Label printer SQUIX 4 P,
peel-off device providing a rewinder internally

as a peel-off device providing a rewinder internally

1 Hinged cover
Material stock can be checked and entire printing processes followed through a large panoramic window.

2 Plungers
One is fixed on the inside. To get a good print image, the second one is moved to the outside margin of a label.

3 Rugged metal chassis
made of cast aluminum to assemble all the units

4 Coated print rollers
Synthetic rubber is a standard to get highly accurate print images. Silicone coating is an option for extra long service life.

5 Peel-off function
to separate labels from the liner. A powered guide roller and a pinch roller enable highly accurate imprint and peel-off.

6 Peripheral port
to plug additional modules easily and quickly. They are screw-fixed.

7 Ribbon holder
Ribbons are quick and easy to replace using three-part tightening axles.

8 Roll holder
Constant tension by means of the margin stop (spring-mounted, screw-capped) while material is fed

9 Internal rewinder
to wind labels or liners with or without a cardboard core on peel-off devices. Materials are easy to handle using a three-part tightening axle.

10 Rocker
Suspension and Teflon-made guide rollers reduce traction and improve the accuracy of print images.

11 Material guide
assembled to the rocker. By a user turning the rotary knob, the stop moves to the margin of a label.

Print image accuracy
The smaller a label, the higher are the demands. Using slip correction, print offset can be reduced by ±0.2 mm.

Operation panel

Self-explanatory symbols help with the device settings and enable a printer to be operated intuitive and easily.

Operation panel1 LED: Power ON

Print heads

Print heads

A print head can be replaced by any other one, provided they are of equal width. They are detected and calibrated by the CPU automatically.
Major data such as the operational performance, maximum operational temperatures and heat energies are kept in memory on a print head. The data can be read at the premise.

Print heads provided for SQUIX 2, SQUIX 4 – 300, 600 dpi
to print sharp-edge images
to print small fonts and graphics on typeplates
to print on materials that imply high energy needs

Print heads provided for SQUIX 4.3, SQUIX 6.3 – 203, 300 dpi
durable
to operate in harsh environments, thermal direct printing

Maintenance

Label sensors

unlock by touch to be pulled out.

Change of print head
Print heads

require few steps to be replaced. In general, no adjustments are needed.

Cleaning of print roller
Print rollers

are quick and easy to remove using a screw.

Assembly tool SQUIX

ONE tool
is provided ready on a device to replace all the components and assemble periphery.

Technical data SQUIX  with SQUIX M and SQUIX MP by comparison (PDF)

  1. The material specifications are standard values. Applications with small labels, thin, slim, thick and stiff materials as well as strongly adherent labels have to be tested.
  2. in cases of tearing off, cutting, rewinding
  3. The ribbon should at least correspond with the width of the liner material.
