Product Features Upgraded per-print cost On par with thermal coding Completely eliminates copper type blocks Automatic date and batch code printing Easy self-installation—no need to replace the bracket Can be set up in just 30 minutes 7-day no-questions-asked return policy Plus a 3-year limited warranty High Quality, Versatile Applications Meets diverse soft-packaging coding needs An essential smart coder for vertical packaging machines and label applicators Print dates—automatically updated Print times—real-time Print batch numbers—automatically switched Can print on bottle labels Can print on transparent films Can print on composite films Saves You Time, Effort, and Money Cost remains unchanged after upgrade—eliminating all previous hassles! Completely phases out copper type blocks, saying goodbye to typesetting and waiting A modern, independently developed intelligent system helps you bid farewell to tedious typeblock layout Ready to use upon startup; stops automatically when powered off—no more wasted time waiting for the machine to warm up or cool down Consistently high-quality prints—no more puncturing packaging materials or blurry codes The intelligent system ensures stable coding quality, delivering identical results whether printing once or ten thousand times No more worries about unclear prints or damaged packaging Optimized printing intervals—no more wasted ribbon runs The intelligent system automatically optimizes printing gaps, maximizing ribbon utilization Each ribbon roll now lasts much longer Intelligent system for automated coding—eliminates human error Both date and batch codes can be set to auto-update—for example, production dates can update daily—greatly reducing the risk of operational mistakes No more concerns about misprints or missed codes The 241D: a forward-thinking, future-ready fully automatic coder Specifically designed to address the bulkiness, complexity, and instability of traditional thermal coders, the 241D meets higher coding demands of tomorrow—a smart coder that combines practicality with innovation 241D Product Specifications Number of coding lines 1–3 lines Coding width Up to 16 characters (25 mm model) Up to 22 characters (33 mm model) Character size 2–4 mm, with optional bolding Character types Any Chinese or English characters, numbers, and punctuation marks Coding direction 0° or 180° Coding types Automatic date codes: production date, shelf life, sell-by date Automatic batch/lot codes Time (accurate to the minute) Factory ID Machine ID Custom text Applicable scope Only suitable for intermittent packaging equipment Including vertical packaging machines and adhesive label applicators Printing time 100 milliseconds (the shortest possible dwell time on the packaging material) Compatible equipment capacity For 1–2 line coding: no more than 190 packages per minute For 3-line coding: no more than 160 packages per minute For faster speeds, please contact us External inputs Sensor signal input: NPN/PNP-type switch sensors (DC 12–24 V) External outputs Passive contacts (for interlocking with packaging machines) DC 30 V (DC only), maximum current 1 A Compatible ribbons PowerCore™ black ribbon 25 mm × 200 m (suitable for 25 mm coding machines) 33 mm × 200 m (suitable for 33 mm coding machines) Maximum number of prints per roll Up to 80,000 single-line codes Equipped with an automatic ribbon winding feature—no manual adjustment required Operating temperature range Ambient temperature: 5–40°C; ambient humidity: 10–90%, non-condensing environment IP protection rating IP40 Power supply Main power voltage: AC 100–240 V (+/- 10%), 50/60 Hz, maximum current 1 A External power adapter included: output voltage/current: DC 24 V, 1.5 A No compressed air required I/O interfaces ...
