Wire-Guides Brochure

Guides for Impact Printheads Ceramaret is the leader producer of output guides for dot matrix printheads. Sold worldwide to printers and printheads manufacturers, they are also widely used by printhead repair companies. To meet the market demand, Ceramaret manufactures for over 20 years large quantities of monobloc zirconia guides. From 7 holes in-line to 2 x 40 holes staggered, with hole Ø >0,22 mm (>.0087"), almost any hole configuration is available. Ceramaret produces a very large selection of standard guides but also a range of replacement guides for the printhead repair market, offering improved quality over the original guides usually made out of plastic. Quality is not only reflected in the lifetime of the printhead but also in the print quality which is a very important parameter, mostly for NLQ and barcode applications. 23.12.04 / v. 21.12..10 Page 2 Technical characteristics General tolerances Hole diameter 0,22 to 0,384 mm (.0087" to .0151") Hole tolerance +/- 10 m (+/-.0004") Vertical pitch (non-cumulative) +/- 10 m (+/-.0004") Horizontal pitch (2 rows) +/- 15 m (+/-.0006") Length +/- 100 m (+/-.004") Width (1 row) 0/-150 m (0/-.006") Thickness +/-25 m (+/-.001") Quality assurance Procedure described hereunder is for the final inspection.
