DG-42992 - CR_FFC Assembly

CR FFC Assembly – Mutoh Valuejet 1624 / 1624W – DG-42992

The CR_FFC Assy (DG-42992) is the flat flexible cable (FFC) designed for the print carriage of the Mutoh Valuejet 1624 and 1624W plotters. It provides the electrical connection between the moving carriage (print heads, encoder) and the system’s main board.

As an FFC cable, it transmits control signals and data to the print heads as they move continuously along the X-axis. The quality of this connection is crucial for signal stability and print accuracy throughout the machine’s service life.

Supplied as a complete assembly (Assy), this ribbon cable is a genuine Mutoh (OEM) part, guaranteeing full compatibility with the carriage connector and the original cable harness without any modification or adaptation.

Function

• Ensures the transmission of electrical signals between the moving carriage and the main board
• Routes print data to the print heads moving along the X-axis
• Transmits signals from the linear encoder for precise carriage positioning
• Withstands repeated bending cycles associated with the carriage’s continuous movement
• Ensures electrical continuity of the components mounted on the carriage (print heads, sensors)

Possible symptoms of wear

• Carriage communication errors or false electronic alarms
• Intermittent printing faults: bands, missing lines or artefacts
• Loss of encoder signal – carriage misalignment or loss of position
• Print heads not recognised or not receiving data
• Micro-cuts causing stoppages during operation

Replacing the CR_FFC Assy DG-42992 restores a reliable electrical connection between the carriage and the main board, eliminating print faults caused by a worn or damaged ribbon.
