Meteor Inkjet has announced the launch of its Nozzle Health Technology, the first commercially available system to provide real-time nozzle health.
The system helps improves the visibility of nozzle performance, providing manufacturers the ability to cut waste, reduce downtime and maintain maximum productivity.
The system measures the impulse response of each nozzle in fractions of a millisecond, instantly identifying issues such as wetting, blockage, or air ingestion.
Users can automatically compensate for missing nozzles using Meteor’s NozzleFix software or pause production for targeted maintenance before problems occur.
Clive Ayling, Meteor’s managing director, said: “This innovation turns nozzle reliability from a hidden risk into a controlled, measurable parameter.
“Manufacturers face constant pressure to keep production lines running smoothly while minimising waste. Our technology gives them the clarity they need to operate more efficiently, stay ahead of maintenance issues, and achieve consistently high print quality.”
