REA JET HR pro 2K / HR pro 4K
The REA JET HR pro 2K is a system for max. 2 print heads and the REA JET HR pro 4K for max. 4
print heads. Both devices make use of the same hardware and the same accessories. As the
operation of the device follows the same philosophy, the operation of both devices is included in
this manual. Wherever the hardware or operation differ due to the different max. number of print
heads, the manual shall make clear mention of this.
REA JET HR pro 2K / 4K is based on the HP TIJ (Thermal Ink Jet) technology that has been
proven in practice billions of times over. The REA JET HR pro 2K / 4K marking system makes the
HP technology known for its office applications for marking with a max. print height of 25.4 mm now
available in an industrial environment. REA JET achieves its exceptional position in the field of
industrial marking systems with the following characteristics:
Small, compact stainless steel control device in IP 20 model.
Exceptionally suitable for cabinet installation / integration in machines and systems.
Sturdy aluminum print head (milled from solid material)
This elaborate construction provides optimum protection for the cartridges that originally hail
from office applications when it comes to rough daily industrial usage. One TIJ cartridge
can be applied per print head. This provides a marking height of max. 12.7 mm per print
head.
Simple cascading of print heads
The print heads can be easily and accurately cascaded due to the firmly integrated precision
assembly aids (dowel pins and grooves). This lets REA JET HR pro 2K achieve print
heights of up to 25.4 mm and up to 50.8 mm for the REA JET HR pro 4K.
Compact dimensions
Despite the extreme sturdiness of the print head, it is still very compact in terms of size. Its
small size is very important when cascading multiple print heads. The compact design of the
print head enables it to be integrated in virtually any machine and system without requiring
any additional print head variants.
Locking lever for the cartridge with integrated position monitoring
This non-wear monitoring (by means of a magnetic sensor and no mechanical switch)
enables the removal or the change of the cartridge, without having to stop the control device
beforehand. The control device is automatically stopped by the monitored locking lever. This
ensures secure handling of the cartridge without any additional intervention of the operator.
Simple parameterization and control of the device status
The REA JET HR pro 2K / 4K is equipped with a full-color graphic display with a diagonal
measurement of approx. 8.9 cm (3.5 in.) and an industrial grade rotary knob with touch
function as operating element, which can be used to set the marking device. The display
also provides essential information about the current job, the status of the print heads and
the current cartridge fill level (graphic).
Comfortable and secure operation with the integrated WebGUI.
The configuration of parameters and operation is done via the WebGUI. Any standard web
browser can be used for this purpose. No separate software is needed. The use of current
web technologies enables quick and intuitive operation. This reduces training time to a
minimum while still ensuring maximum operational safety. Just like the device user
interface, the WebGUI is equipped with 20 different user languages. Together with the
