Mimaki SWJ-320 Cap Top Base Assy – M016132 for Printhead Capping Station

SWJ-320 Cap Top Base Assy for Maintenance Description

This is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Cap Top Base Assembly (Part No.: M016132) designed exclusively for the Mimaki SWJ-320 industrial inkjet printer. As a genuine Mimaki component, it ensures precise fit, reliable operation, and full compatibility with the printer’s automatic maintenance system.

The Cap Top Base Assy is a critical part of the capping station, working in conjunction with the cap seal, wiper, and pump to maintain optimal printhead health during idle periods and cleaning cycles.

Primary Functions

Secure Sealing: Provides stable support for the cap top, ensuring accurate alignment and consistent contact with the printhead nozzle plate to prevent air leakage and ink drying.

Dust & Contamination Protection: Seals the printhead when parked, blocking dust, ink mist, and debris from entering the nozzle area.

Ink Suction Support: Interfaces with the vacuum pump system to enable effective cleaning cycles, removing degraded ink and air bubbles from the head.

Printhead Longevity: Maintains a humid micro-environment to preserve ink fluidity and reduce nozzle clogging risks during standby.
