Introducing the IM-V7 PRO MAX AI Camera System
In a groundbreaking development, Image Magic Co., Ltd., based in Bunkyo, Tokyo, has launched a new AI camera system called the
IM-V7 PRO MAX. Tailored explicitly for the
Mimaki UV printer UJF-7151 plusII, this innovative technology eliminates the need for jigs and pre-alignment in the printing process, enabling automated recognition of workpieces placed on the table. By utilizing AI, this system ensures that UV printing operations become more efficient and streamlined than ever before.
Tackling Workplace Challenges
The reality of manufacturing often means facing challenges such as time-consuming jig creation and the management of small lot productions. The IM-V7 PRO MAX addresses these issues by allowing users to automate processes with their existing printing setups. The three simple steps of usage create an accessible pathway to automation that requires no specialized skills:
1.
Place: Just set the acrylic items or cards on the table without worrying about their orientation.
2.
Recognize: The AI camera instantly detects the contours and positions of the materials.
3.
Print: The system automatically applies the printing data and starts the printing process, producing high-quality results directly.
Surpassing Traditional Methods
One of the standout features of the IM-V7 PRO MAX is its capability to significantly reduce setup time, cutting approximately 7 minutes from the overall process by eliminating jig installations and test prints. Traditionally, securing workpieces using jigs would take about 23 minutes, while the new camera system reduces this to approximately 16 minutes, facilitating faster preparations for printing jobs.
Dramatic Productivity Gains
In terms of productivity, the IM-V7 PRO MAX shows promising results. Tests comparing the production rates of printing on white cards (size 84.5 x 53 mm) reveal a staggering increase. In traditional methods utilizing jig graphics, production was about 1,365 items per rotation, taking around 1,160 seconds. With the implementation of the AI camera, production surged to approximately 2,458 items per rotation, a remarkable increase of about 1.8 times.
Enhancing Quality Without Jigs
Using jigs in printing operations can often lead to complications, such as ink smudging on the reverse of thin materials due to gaps. The jig-free approach of the IM-V7 PRO MAX minimizes such risks, ensuring a cleaner application by eliminating these spaces, which also means less masking work.
Handling Diverse Arrangements
The system is adept at handling random shapes and multiple items on the same table. Whether round, square, or star-shaped, the AI camera can accurately capture and print each unique design. However, it is essential that the thickness of the materials being printed remains uniform to achieve the best results.
Support and Maintenance
The IM-V7 PRO MAX comes with a one-year warranty for the camera, with options for replacement after the warranty period at a cost. Users can manage replacements following the guidance provided in the product manual, while professional assistance from the company's maintenance team is available when needed.
