Printing Technology
The demands on modern industrial printing processes are constantly increasing—particularly in terms of precision, speed, and cost-efficiency. Piezo bending actuators offer key advantages in this context: they enable ultra-fast and highly precise dosing of inks and powders, allow for flexible control of droplet size, and ensure consistently high print quality. At the same time, their efficiency significantly reduces material waste, making them especially valuable in cost- and resource-sensitive production environments. The versatility of piezo-based actuator technology allows for its integration across a wide range of industrial printing applications, making it a vital component for innovative and sustainable printing solutions.

What tasks are performed with piezo technology?
Piezo technology has a crucial role in enabling precise and efficient printing operations by controlling the ink.
Why piezo technology?
- Piezoelectric actuators control the exact amount and timing of ink droplets ejected from the print head
- It enables fast, repeatable ink droplet ejection, supporting high-speed printing without compromising print quality
- Piezoelectric actuators can adjust the size of the ink droplets, allowing for variable dot sizes that help produce smoother gradients and sharper images
- By controlling the volume of ink released with precision, piezo technology reduces ink waste, making the printing process more cost-effective
- The precise control of ink flow helps achieve consistent color quality an sharpness, which is critical for high-quality prints in industrial applications like packaging, textiles, and labels
