21ic News Kyocera Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Kyocera") has developed a KRW series thermal print head (hereinafter referred to as "print head") for desktop bar code printers, which will be available starting this month. This product enhances the robustness and corrosion resistance of the printhead by simplifying the structure of the print head and improving the resin sealing film, contributing to the improvement of the assembly efficiency and durability of the printer.

â– Development background
Logistics bases such as warehouses or distribution centers usually manage goods efficiently based on bar code labels. In recent years, especially in Asia, the logistics infrastructure of emerging countries is getting better and better, and the demand for desktop barcode printers with printable labels is expanding. For manufacturers of such printers, it is necessary to use a more robust and easy to install printhead to improve the assembly efficiency of the printer and reduce the workload. At the same time, in order to prevent the print head from being deteriorated by the influence of corrosive substances such as moisture or salt, it is also necessary to enhance the corrosion resistance of the print head.
â– Features of the new product "KRW Series" thermal print head
Compared with our previous products, the KRW series print heads reduce the number of parts used, and at the same time, the stronger part of the connector is firmly fixed with the resin, which improves the robustness. Moreover, corrosion resistance is improved by improving the composition of the resin seal coat on the surface of the print head and the film forming process. Therefore, even when used under severe conditions such as high temperature and high humidity, the print head can be prevented from being deteriorated by corrosive substances such as moisture or salt.
1. Enhanced the robustness of the printhead to help improve printer assembly efficiency.
In the company's previous products, the ceramic substrate and the connector were connected using the FPC board*1. The KRW series developed this time eliminates the need for an FPC substrate and allows the ceramic substrate to be directly connected to the connector. Since the FPC board is not used, the product structure becomes more compact, and the size of all the thin film thermal head products produced by Kyocera to date is the minimum level*2, which contributes to the miniaturization of the printer. Moreover, this product is fixed with a resin that is connected to the connector with a high strength, and the compactness is enhanced by a compact and strong structure.
2. Excellent corrosion resistance and durability are achieved by improving the resin sealing film.
The surface of the print head is a resin seal coat which prevents deterioration of the heating element or circuit due to friction caused by printing or intrusion of corrosive substances. Bar code printers are generally used in outdoor environments, food processing plants, kitchens, etc., which are susceptible to corrosive substances such as moisture and salt. Therefore, they must have excellent corrosion resistance that can be used normally under severe conditions such as high temperature and humidity.

The DMX console is the central controller for controlling all stage lights and special effects equipment. Almost all equipment needs to be connected to it, and users use it to issue control commands to all equipment. It can be controlled in real time, or the device can be programmed to display specific effects at a fixed time. Even with the stage equipment, the DMX console is also essential, just like there are more soldiers, the commander still needs to give orders to them. There are also many different types controllers to work for different quantity Stage Lights.
