    Dynamic analysis of a recirculation system of micro functional fluids for ink-jet applications
    (Springer Verlag, 2017-05-01) Arango, I.; Cañas, M.; Arango, I.; Cañas, M.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería Mecánica; Mecatrónica y Diseño de Máquinas
    The rise of ink-jet printing technology has led to numerous studies about functional fluids, which, in most cases, are made to change and improve the chemical and rheological properties. Besides this, there are several patents about the recirculation fluid system that help to prevent settling particles, and thus improving print quality without consequences in the chemical composition of the fluid. This paper presents a dynamic analysis of a recirculation circuit for ink-jet microsystems applications with fluids that contain a particle size of 40 nm to 10 µ m. This analysis integrates multiple mathematical and experimental models, in regard to variables such as: viscosity change with temperature and solid volume fraction, sedimentation, surface tension and flow behavior. As a result, specific values of vacuum pressure for different drop-on-demand print heads with different ink-jet functional fluids, places of probable sedimentation and minimum pickup velocities to remove settled particles are given. © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

    Prediction of a flying droplet landing over a non-flat substrates for ink-jet applications

    Printing with inkjet technology has found new forms of application in the industry and in this article we study this technology focused on printing on non-flat surfaces. Since there is no print history over distances greater than 1 mm due to the rupture phenomenon, an initial quality standard is defined to measure achievements in a relative manner. An interactive method is used that requires the user to approach the machine in multiple analyzes of different types. The first approach is a mathematical model this model was constructed to predict the drop distance of the drop in the non-planar substrate with respect to the planned one in the flat substrate, taking into account that most of the drops fall to different heights presenting a greater or lesser state of development the phenomena present in the flight. The results allow to initiate a process of compensation that avoids the distortion of the figure to improve the printing resolution. The results are validated using a relative quality through industrial ink-jet printer with heads capable of injecting functional fluids. The initial result indicates that in standard surface printing with print relative quality already defined, it can be used only for low resolution formats with thick lines, and the result can be improved when the original figure is treated by compensating the distance between the numerical prediction and the initial objective. © 2019, Springer-Verlag France SAS, part of Springer Nature.
