GeBE Outdoor Thermodrucker shows the weather adversity with a cold shoulder
Ticket printing at its highest reliability
Germering, May 23, 2017.
GeBE Elektronik und Feinwerktechnik GmbH presents the new thermal printer, GeBE-COMPACT Plus. The printer achieves top performance even in inclement weather. This was the number one goal the printer specialists at GeBE had in mind when they designed the printer for outdoor deployment in ticket printing applications. Features include high print stability across a wide, but often realistic, temperature range of – 20 °C up to + 70 °C. Even temperature variations don’t impair this printer. A stainless steel housing keeps the unit protected, and a stainless steel cutter won’t corrode. The printer head is specifically designed for such environments. Upon request, OEM customers can choose to have the printer’s electronics protected with a special lacquer. This protective coating is available starting at small order quantities.
Depending on application, GeBE Outdoor Thermal Printers of this series operate between 10V and 26V and are designed to be solar powered, predestined for on-street operation. These printers are often deployed in automated ticket printing, for instance in the WSA TicketLine PSA (photo). GeBE is at the PARKEN show in Karlsruhe from June 21st through the 22nd in Hall 1, Booth F31.
Highest reliability down to the smallest detail
During development of the Outdoor Thermal Printer GeBE-COMPCT Plus, the focus was on achieving high reliability, down to the last detail – from resistance to negative environmental influences to making sure the entire print process is secure, all the way to ticket presentation. Operator errors as well as vandalism were taken into account. The highly complex print management, with blackmark controls, monitors every individual print and presenting process. Michael Buchmüller, Head of Sales at GeBE Elektronik und Feinwerktechnik GmbH, states “We currently have over 20,000 GeBE Outdoor Thermal Printers in the field, and they operate extremely well under adverse conditions”. Of course ticket printing paper has to be appropriately selected. Family operated, GeBE has been in business for over 50 years and has been a recognized industry partner for data input and output solutions.
