E301358 - Y Scale 1600 150 LPI (encoder strip)

Linear encoder strip – Mimaki UCJV300-160 / CJV330-160 / JV100-160 – E301358

The Mimaki E301358 linear encoder strip (Y Scale 1600 150 LPI) is the optical ruler fitted along the Y-bar of the latest generation of 160 cm machines: UCJV150 / UCJV300, the 330 series (CJV330, JV330, TS330) and the 100 series (JV100, UJV100, TS100). The encoder sensor reads it continuously to determine the exact position of the print heads.

Its graduations at 150 lines per inch (150 LPI) provide the controller with the position reference for each pass. This precision ensures accurate drop placement and bidirectional printing without misalignment. Please note: this tape is not interchangeable with the 180 LPI scales used on the JV150 / CJV150 / JV300.

Supplied on its own, width 15 mm, approximate length ≈ 2435 mm. Three options available on this product page: New (original Mimaki part), Refurbished (inspected original part) or New / Compatible (strip custom-manufactured by DG Spare Parts).

‘New / Compatible’ version – custom-made by DG Spare Parts

• Strip cut in our workshop from a generic 150 LPI encoder strip, 15 mm wide.
• Exact measurements are essential: please specify the total length of your original tape, including the mounting holes, when placing your order. Without this measurement, the order cannot be sent for production.
• Supplied without mounting holes: these must be drilled by the customer by marking out the position of the holes on their original strip.
• Made to order; does not carry the Mimaki manufacturer’s warranty.

Function

• To provide the encoder sensor with the position reference of the carriage on the Y-axis
• Ensure synchronisation between the carriage’s movement and the heads’ firing
• Ensure alignment of the forward and return passes
• Maintain the dimensional accuracy of the prints

Possible symptoms of wear

• ‘Y current over’ error or carriage stoppage during printing
• Misalignment or duplication of passes in bidirectional mode
• Fine, irregular stripes across the width of the media
• Scratches, ink marks or faded graduations visible on the ribbon

Replacing the encoder belt restores reliable carriage positioning and eliminates registration errors caused by impaired reading.
