print&check
datamatrix
and
serialization
EVO
The most widely used integrated
solution on the market. Quick
and easy to fit into the line and
occupying just 705 mm, it can
print and verify on carton flaps.
Upper and lower conveyors keep
cartons stable, thus making
printing reliable.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
TRACEABILITY AND SERIALIZATION
A real-time device manages all data, from serialization to the
construction the parent/child relations at different packaging levels,
assuring data consistency and security in any condition.
A UPS ensures data integrity in the event of a power failure.
The software is part of the ATS-Antares Tracking System architecture
for total management at warehouse, plant and corporate level.
PRINTING accuracy
Compliance with proportions and absence of print deformation
thanks to the high performance controller and to perfect
synchronization with belt speed.
ONLINE CHECK OF DATAMATRIX PRINT QUALITY
In addition to Datamatrix recognition, the vision system also performs
the grade evaluation according to ISO/IEC 15415 standard for the
following parameters: contrast, modulation, fixed pattern damage,
axial non uniformity, grid non uniformity, unused error correction.
EVO
QUICK AND EASY SIZE CHANGEOVER
Print heads and cameras move jointly on the rails: simple counters
ease format changeover.
HIGH THROUGHPUT
Up to 400 cartons per minute, thanks to highly reliable mechanical
components and vision system processing power.
HIGH PERFORMANCE EXCLUSIVE INKS
Water based, fast-drying and high contrast inks, formulated for the
most demanding graphic applications. Alcohol based
inks are available to print on varnished surfaces.
CARTRIDGE INK LEVEL CONTROL
An alarm warns the operator when the ink level is below a minimum.
Cartridges are very easy to replace.
ALL IN ONE
HEAD PROTECTION AND CLEANING KIT
print
& check
datamatrix
and
serialization
A plastic cap is available to protect the head from drying out in the
event of prolonged inactivity. The cleaning kit minimizes ink loss
and avoids head damaging.
Print & Check is the complete family of serialization
modules compliant to the current and upcoming
regulations on traceability and e-pedigree.
Besides printing and verifying the Datamatrix and variable
data, Print & Check can integrate labelling modules for
French vignette or Italian Bollino, check-weigher,
and tamper-evident-seal modules thus allowing a great
saving of space on the packaging lines.
HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS
Laser/DOD printing system available upon request.
REJECTION SYSTEM
Air-blow or mechanical (optional for large or heavy cartons).
Photocell check to control effectiveness.
INTERFACE WITH MANUAL READER
For code verification and reconciliation in tracking applications and
for automatic input of production orders from printed barcodes.
REMOTE ASSISTANCE
Remote support through network connection.
21CFR part 11
Interface module complies with standard.
ALL IN ONE
Combines
printing
and
inspection functions on up to
three sides of the carton with
the weighing and labelling
function for Italian Bollino,
French Vignette and tamper
evident seals application for
anticounterfeiting.
A double reject system allows
for discriminating the weighing
from printing/ labelling rejects.
Separate inspection cameras
verify the correct labelling or
sealing operation.
FLAT CARTONS
Stand-alone solution to print
and check the flat cartons. Ideal
for offline applications or for
limited production runs.
The carton is picked up from
a magazine and maintained by
vacuum to machine outfeed
(high performance version).
It can be equipped with up
to 4 print heads and up to 3
cameras, and can be supplied
with an optional labeller.
alternative print technologies
High-speed megapixel cameras for all inspection functions,
simultaneously performed.
ADVANCED
Absolute printing freedom:
prints and checks up to three
surfaces (two sides and top).
The belt system (available in
vacuum and step) keeps the
carton perfectly positioned
during printing and subsequent
checking.
A shaft encoder is keyed
directly on the drive ensuring
deformation-free printing.
FLAT CARTONS
DATAMATRIX KIT
All Print and Check components
are available for machine
integration. This is the ideal
solution to retrofit machines
like cartoners and bundlers, or
along the packaging conveyors
when space for a stand-alone
station is not available.
