Spectra SM-128 AA Industrial Piezo Printhead

The Spectra SM-128 AA is a lightweight, compact, high-performance piezoelectric drop-on-demand printhead belonging to the classic S-Class line from the original Spectra brand.

Product Overview

The Spectra SM-128 AA is a lightweight, compact, high-performance piezoelectric drop-on-demand printhead belonging to the classic S-Class line from the original Spectra brand. Featuring a medium droplet volume of 50 pL, it is renowned for its exceptional firing frequency and extreme structural durability. This makes it an ideal core component for high-speed industrial variable data coding, label printing, and wide-format digital graphics.

Key Technical Specifications

  • Active Nozzles: 128 independent channels arranged in a compact single-line array
  • Nominal Drop Size: 50 pL
  • Firing Frequency: Up to 40 kHz (high-frequency production advantage)
  • Nozzle Spacing: 508 microns (physical resolution of 50 dpi for a single head)
  • Operating Temperature: Integrated heating system, supports up to 90°C
  • Ink Compatibility: Fully compatible with UV-curable, strong/eco-solvent inks, and various aqueous industrial fluids

Core Features & Advantages

  • Ultra-High Firing Speed: The firing frequency of up to 40 kHz significantly outpaces conventional industrial printheads, substantially accelerating production throughput for single-pass or high-speed scanning systems.
  • Compact, Seamless Stitching: Weighing only about 60 grams with a very slim profile, it allows system integrators to easily configure tight, staggered, or overlapping multi-head matrices to build high-resolution arrays.
  • Premium Durability & Lifespan: Designed with a robust stainless steel housing and wear-resistant fluid paths, it offers excellent resistance to highly aggressive solvents and chemical formulations, ensuring stable, clog-free, 24/7 operation.

Printer Compatibility

Industrial Coding & Barcode Systems: High-speed variable data printing systems like Buskro (e.g., 2500 series) and Domino.

Classic Wide-Format Graphics: Early premium configurations from brands such as JHF, Flora, Wit-Color, and Liyu.

Industrial Fluid Deposition: Electronics manufacturing and functional fluid delivery systems.
