Single-Head Ink Supply Systems
Lab Tank IDS
Suitable for Inkjet Development
The system supports all kinds of piezo inkjet printheads. It consists of two combined ink tanks where filling and emptying the tanks works automatically, allowing for easy and clean exchange of fluids. Each tank has an integrated pressure sensor and powerful heaters that allow for precise control of pressures as well as temperature.
Two external pressure and temperature sensors can be integrated close to the printhead to analyze pressure changes caused by restricting factors in the flow path through the printhead.
Technical Specifications
| Tank Volume | Max Flow Rate | Heating |
Adjustable 80 to 240 ml | 150 or 300 ml/min | Up to 70°C |
Low Volume Lab Tank IDS
When testing new formulations, you want to start working with small batches. INKATRONIC's Low Volume Lab Tank IDS ensures stable circulation of fluids with a minimum of 30ml.
Technical Specifications
| Tank Volume | Max Flow Rate | Heating |
Adjustable 30 to 150 ml | 150 or 300 ml/min | Up to 55°C |

Control Box for Lab Tank IDS
Each Lab Tank requires a Control Box to function. This houses the main control board as well as the main interface for the PC Controlling the system.
It is possible to use one control box with different Lab Tanks, however, using multiple Lab Tanks at the same time requires each to have its own Control Box.

INKATRONIC Lab Tank IDS Software
The software required to manage the IDS (Ink Delivery System) is included with the Lab Tank.
The software’s main view allows the operator to control the printhead’s inlet and outlet pressure and temperature.
The outcome of these parameters can be numerically and graphically visualized in the form of flow rate and differential pressure and temperature at the printhead. Such features are helpful when analyzing and tuning the flow behavior of different chemistries and printheads.
