Videojet DataFlex 6230

Thermal Transfer Printer for Flexible Packaging Materials

The Videojet 6230 is a low speed Thermal Transfer Printer that utilizes the latest technology to help reduce flexible packaging coding errors, and improve total cost of ownership (TCO) through a proven and cost-effective solution.

The 6230 Thermal Transfer Printer delivers easy usability with an intuitive tablet-like 5’’ touchscreen controller with CLARiTY™ interface. The simple ribbon path helps to ensure fast changeovers and a more efficient operation.

Code assurance comes as standard in the 6230 Thermal Transfer Printer when using templates created by CLARiSOFT™ or VideojetConnect Design software. These simple code creation tools help reduce operator interactions resulting in fewer user errors and unnecessary product waste and rework.

In addition to the features available, the 6230 offers high-quality codes up to speeds of 150 ppm and is an ideal solution for users migrating to a digital solution from analog equipment like hot stamp and roller coders.

Benefits

Simple Usability

  • Simple change ribbon cassette, with pushbutton lock mechanism, allows for fast and easy ribbon replacement
  • Intuitive tablet-like 5” touchscreen controller with CLARiTY™ interface used on other Videojet printers used in other Videojet technologies

Fits Your Unique Production Needs

  • Airless operation removes the need for plant air
  • Offers high-quality codes up to speeds of 150 packs / minute
  • Single design printhead for intermittent or continuous printing
  • Compact design easily integrates into most production lines

Built-in Productivity

  • Precise ribbon control with bidirectional stepper motors minimizes gaps between codes and reduces ribbon wastage
  • 700m maximum ribbon length requires fewer ribbon changes versus hot stamp or other competitive TTO systems
  • Simple ribbon path that ensures fast changeovers and a more efficient operation

Code Assurance

  • WYSIWYG print preview allows operators to confirm the correct code is selected
  • Built-in code assurance software helps to reduce operator-induced errors, decreasing unnecessary product waste and rework
  • Real-time clock stamp avoids date errors
  • Benefit from simple code creation with VideojetConnect™ Design or CLARiSOFT™ software

“Using Videojet thermal transfer printing means operators have one less thing to be concerned about.”

Bob Epley – Packaging Maintenance Manager, Utz Quality Foods (case study)

“Videojet is rightly in a market-leading position with this device.”

Stefan Hertel Senior Project Manager, Zeppelin Systems (case study)

“That was one of the reasons why we decided on Videojet – because we need totally reliable printing including a very reliable printer with an extremely low failure rate.”

Stefan Hertel, Senior Project Manager, Zeppelin Systems (case study)
