Droplet ejection apparatus
Abstract:
A droplet ejection apparatus includes: a droplet ejection head having a nozzle surface in which a nozzle aperture is formed; and a wiping device which wipes the nozzle surface of the droplet ejection head by moving relatively to the droplet ejection head. The wiping device includes: a wiping device main body which moves relatively to the droplet ejection head; a drive source which is arranged on the wiping device main body; and wiping units configured to be interchangeably installed on the wiping device main body. The wiping units respectively have wiping members configured to be pressed against the nozzle surface to perform respectively different wiping operations to the nozzle surface. When each of the wiping units is installed on the wiping device main body, a corresponding one of the wiping members receives drive force from the drive source to perform a corresponding one of the wiping operations to the nozzle surface.
