Introduction
The latest generation of automatic wire processing machines features extreme flexibility
and processes at high speeds. These operating conditions put tough requirements on wire marking that
can only be met with appropriate solutions. Is the object to mark quicker, smaller, more reliably, with
greater resistance or merely more cheaply? Komax has a range of marking systems that ensures the optimum
solution for your specific application.
Key features:
- Individual solutions to cover the widest variety of marking requirements
- Fully integrated in the Komax basic machines
- High marking speeds
- You can enter text input and settings conveniently from the GUI
- Simple to operate
- Easy to service
Function
The Komax ims 295 BC (Black Colour), ims 295 BS (Black Small) and ims 295 MC (Multi
Colour) inkjet marking systems excel in their high marking speeds and in the simple and reliable way
in which they process the wire. All IMS marking systems have two different interfaces, an RS232 and
an Ethernet (TCP/IP). That means they can be operated with current as well as future Komax machines.
They are particularly suitable in combination with automatic Kappa strippers and with the Alpha, Gamma
and Zeta fully automatic crimping machines.
Text input, setup parameters and all other settings for the marking text are easy
to enter from the user interface of the basic machine. The number of marking texts is defined in ten
initial markings, ten end markings and one continuous middle marking. The standard functions include
bold, symbols, adjustable font width and height, double character spacing, inverse font, continuously
alternating text and sample marking.
Ink density is measured constantly with the automatic solvent metering unit to ensure
operation that is both ecological and economical. A condenser unit is available as an option to recover
solvent. It reduces solvent consumption and virtually eliminates the presence of solvent from the air
in the room.
The ink and solvent tanks are quick and easy to access. Inks can be replenished
while marking is going on. With the ingenious control concept, top quality marking is achieved even
when the wire is subject to high rates of acceleration or deceleration. In addition, a speed optimisation
feature ensures that wire sections without marking are processed at the maximum possible wire processing
speed.
The ims 295 inkjet marking systems can also be operated offline without the basic
machine for simple applications. The marking settings are entered from the integrated membrane keyboard
with VGA display.
To optimise marking quality, contrast and adherence, Komax has an extremely broad
range of ink types on offer to match the line-up of Komax markers. Elaborate wire preparations are no
longer required in most cases.
Technical data ims 295 BC
The ims 295 BC inkjet marking system is a fully integrated marker for black dye
inks or lightly pig-mented inks.
Pressure is built up automatically with a gear pump,
thus eliminating the compressed air connection.

Technical data ims 295 MC
This marking system was developed especially for marking with heavily pigmented
inks. These inks are used for high-contrast and colour mark-ing. They adhere superbly to a wide variety
of materials.
The integrated ink circulation and mixing system (dispersant) ensures reliable
processing in connection with heavily pigmented inks.
Komax goes so far with the ergonomic
design that even the hydraulic system is neatly separated from the electronic components.

Technical data ims 295 BS
The ims 295 BS was specially developed for marking using small fonts and black ink.The
marker is fitted with a 120kHz/40µm marking head, so it delivers compelling sharpness of detail to a
minimum font height of 0.9mm (0.035in).
The increased frequency and the smaller jet diameter
make this model the fastest and most economical marker in the Komax IMS series.
