With drop on demand piezo printheads becoming the key imaging technology for a wide new range of products and manufacturing processes, it is becoming vital to understand how these critical components work, and how to recognize when things are not as they should be even if you are just a user of OEM printheads.
IMI's Understanding Piezo Technology course will take you through the basics of piezo materials and their properties, how they are used as actuators within printheads, other aspects of printhead design, printhead operation, crosstalk, reliability and lifetime issues, and the special considerations for deposition and ink jet as a manufacturing process.
Rob Harvey has over 20 years of experience in inkjet - from Cambridge Consultants to helping found Xaar, where he held a number of senior technical management roles. Responsible for many key designs and processes, he is named on over sixty of Xaar's patents and applications.
