MYJET, a leading large-format digital printing system manufacture, has integrated camera intelligence into its UV conveyor printer. The update is made in order to tackle one of the more persistent bottlenecks in industrial digital print: accurate registration on irregular items without the need for pin guides, manual alignment or time-consuming setup. Planning to launch the new tech at the upcoming APPPEXPO 2026 at NECC, Shanghai, taking place from March 4-7, the new visual positioning conveyor on MYJET’s CCD120 UV printer, centres on an integrated camera-driven workflow designed to identify, locate and print onto objects placed randomly on the belt – a capability that could prove to be invaluable for PSPs and manufacturers handling high-mix, short-run production.
In conventional workflows, printing onto non-standard shapes typically requires operators to position parts precisely, or investment in bespoke jigs to ensure repeatable placement. This adds labour, reduces flexibility and can lead to increased spoilage when product variations are introduced. Negating this, the CCD120 uses a high-resolution camera system with dedicated lighting: the machine scans the conveyor in real time, recognises each item’s outline and automatically calculates print coordinates before imaging begins. The result is a process in which parts can simply be placed on the belt in arbitrary positions, with the system handling registration autonomously.
