How much do you know about the IP protection level of the printer

For users of coding equipment, the IEC IP protection level is an important indicator of the safety protection of electrical equipment. Workers must first sharpen their tools if they want to do their jobs well. What should an enterprise do when purchasing a machine?

IP (INGRESS PROTECTION) protection level is determined by the International Electrotechnical Commission

IEC(INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION) was drafted to classify electrical equipment according to its dust-proof and moisture-proof characteristics. Prior to this, the anti-water and dust-proof functions of electrical appliances were generally only described by vague words like 'waterproof

Proposed protection level, electrical equipment can judge its protection function according to the two numbers following the IP

The concept of IP protection level

Defines the enclosure sealing performance of electrical equipment such as inkjet equipment, which is generally adopted internationally.< /p>

EN60529 standard. The standard quantifies the protection levels of different categories, mainly including protection against solid foreign objects from intruding into the shell, such as tools, fingers or dust, etc.; and protection against water< /p>

Protection, such as water condensation, washing, immersion, etc. The two digits after the IP indicate the protection strength of the equipment shell against solid foreign objects and water intrusion, and the first digit indicates the protection of the electrical equipment from dust and foreign objects intrusion. The second number indicates the degree of airtightness of the device against moisture and water intrusion. The larger the number, the higher the degree of protection, such as IP55, the following two tables can be specific See the specific protection strength of IP55.

The first number: the protection level of solid foreign objects, which indicates the level of protection against dust and foreign objects in the equipment shell.

The second number: the level of protection for liquids, which indicates the degree of airtightness of the equipment against moisture and water intrusion.

Take coding marking equipment as an example. If the environment is humid or dusty, it is not recommended to use equipment with a lower IP protection level. If the customer deliberately chooses equipment with a low level of protection

, it is necessary to take into account the consequences caused by moisture or dust, and take other precautions during subsequent use, such as When cleaning the workshop with water

, move the equipment to another dry place or cover it with a waterproof cloth bag.

The IP protection level of the electronic system

The equipment adopts a sealed electronic system and achieves a high protection level, which is to prevent the production workshop environment Factors, an effective way to ensure the long-term stability of the equipment and improve the overall efficiency

method. If the supplier has marked the protection level when purchasing the equipment, it is recommended to ask what the protection level of the housing and the internal electronic system are.

The third-party certification of the equipment

The most suitable IP protection level has been determined, and the purchase options have been narrowed to In the case of several cij printers, it is also necessary to consider whether the protection level declared by the cij printer supplier has passed the certification of an authoritative third-party certification body. Independent and authoritative third-party certification is sometimes more trustworthy than the manufacturer's own statement.

Now there are many types of coding equipment on the market, and the marking of IP protection level is also full of tricks. When companies purchase a machine, they should understand the IP protection level, and consider the above aspects in a comprehensive manner. In this way, the selected machine can be competent for future applications. In the long run Look, there are benefits but no harm.
