At next month’s interzum 2019 show in Germany, Mimaki will showcase robotic technology that it says is “revolutionising the furniture production and interiors industries.”
The Mimaki UJF-7151plus (pictured above) at Interzum will feature a robotic arm from Robominds. "Designed to enable workflow automation, the Universal Robots robotic arm provided by Robominds will demonstrate how Mimaki customers can use the technology without any human intervention, to improve their profitability," says Mimaki.
Providing a new level of production efficiency, the proof of concept robotic demonstration will provide interzum visitors with a glimpse into the future of inkjet print production for furniture and interior applications.
Another highlight product on Mimaki’s stand (Hall 3.2, stand A-011, at interzum 2019 (21 – 24 May 2019, Koelnmesse GmbH, Germany)) will be the UJF-7151plus direct-to-object UV flatbed printer.
The high-performance Mimaki solution has a maximum print size of 710mm x 510mm and enables precise placement of ink, ensuring flawless print quality on a wide range of products/substrates. Visitors to the Mimaki booth will see interior applications including laminated floor boards, wallpaper, furniture fabric, textiles and more.

Also on show will be Mimaki’s recently launched MUH-100-Si UV-curable metallic ink, which can be placed directly onto the product without the need for further manual processing and handling. This provides customers with a means to create elegant and sophisticated applications efficiently.
Mimaki will also show its UCJV300-75 UV integrated printer/cutter, enabling unique five-layer printing for the creation of distinct designs, simultaneously, on each side of the substrate. This capability makes the Mimaki solution ideal for transparent foil for laminated surfaces, enabling high quality printing on furniture, wallpaper and worksurfaces.
“There is an increasing interior design trend for the production of more individual, shorter-run applications, featuring more diverse printed colours and patterns,” said Hisashi Takeuchi, MD of Mimaki Deutschland. “Mimaki’s UCJV-series is compatible with a wide range of materials and is suitable for numerous interior and furniture applications.
“We anticipate an exciting show,” said Takeuchi. “In this market, digital printing is still in its infancy, but it’s also poised to unlock huge creative potential for designers and revenue opportunities for print providers and manufacturers. This potential is clearly evident in the samples we will present and the customer case studies we will share with prospects at the show.”
