OPTIONS:

Hot printer

For variable data application by means of thermal printing.

Printing from 1 to 3 lines on horizontal and vertical axis.

Standard set of digits 120 pcs. (0-9 digits – 10 pcs each, spacers). Printing type: 1,5 mm, 2.0 mm or 2,5 mm. Additional symbols (option).

Thermal tape pulling is adjusted from the control panel.

Time interval is adjusted from the control panel.

Thermo controller to keep the preset temperature of the printing head.

Sensor for detecting torn label tape.

Printing area

Printer is designed for printing variable data (3 lines, 15 characters each) in any direction. Possible directions of the printing are shown on the drawing below:

Jet cartridge printer Micron HP TIJ 2.5

Micron — a unique compact printer with integrated controller, which suits for integration in various production lines that require low cost solution.

• TIJ 2.5 technology by Hewlett Packard Company.
• Files for printing are created with the help of the supplied software and transmitted to the controller via USB-key. The message can be stored in the printer’s internal memory.
• Printing with 300 x 300dpi resolution. Graphics, counters, text, numbers, barcodes (fixed), date and time (permanent and actual), 3 print fonts (True Type).
• Printing height 12.7mm. The printer has no concept like «number of lines». It prints everything you can place within 12.7mm space.
• Wide range of inks

Rotary table (feeding/collecting)

Standard rotary table for loading or collecting of the product. Standard diameter 680mm (it is possible to make table of other diameter (but not more than 900mm) as per Customer’s request).

Smooth speed adjustment. Body, panels and surface of the table are made of stainless steel.

Loading/unloading tray for rotary table

Tray makes feeding of vials to the rotary table or discharge from the rotary table easier. Unloading tray can be installed at the outfeed instead of rotary table.

Collecting conveyor table

Rejection unit

Device for automatic vial rejection from the conveyor without machine stopping. Vials are rejected in case if any sensor described in section “Options” is activated and also in case of the absence of labels on the roll. Vials with diameter less than 40mm on a high speed up to 140 pcs/min will be carefully moved out of the conveyer in vertical position into the tray for rejected containers. Containers of other diameters will be pushed out to the tray.

Sensor for operational readiness control of label pulling through unit

Label presence control sensors

2 sensors on both sides of the conveyor after the wrap around unit (standard). Sensors will give signal to stop the machine or reject container in case of label absence.

 

Clear label presence control sensor

This sensor can recognize both regular and transparent labels (ultrasonic U-shaped sensor).

 

Control system to avoid overload of containers on the conveyer at the inlet/outlet before separator

The sensor on the outfeed of the machine will give a signal to stop separator and containers infeed. Separator will start automatically after containers move out of the machine. Sensor at the infeed of the machine will give a signal to stop previous machine in line.

Vial presence control system in front of the separator

Star-wheel for vial separation

This change part is installed instead of the separator wheel to provide even vial separation at the speed higher than 100 pcs/min.

 

Linear barcode control

Single-line laser scanner Leuze BCL 21 S M 310.

The scanner is controlled from the control panel of the machine.

 

Codes	2/5 intermittent code; Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, EAN 128. EAN/UPC; EAN Adendum; Codabar; Pharma Code
Light source	Laser diode, red 650 nm, safety class 2, class II according to CDRH
Speed	1000 scans/с for М version. 800 scans/с for versions N, F.
Resolution	BCL 2x SN 0,15 … module width 0,2 mm
	BCL 2x SM: 0,2 … module width 0,8 mm
	BCL 2x SF: 0,5… module width 1,0 mm
Beam deviation	Through the rotating cylindrical mirror
Distance	50 … 450 mm (depending on the optics type: N, F, M)

This system is designed to control the barcode applied on the label. In case of wrong bar code detection, the machine stops or rejects the container with the wrong label.

 

The two—dimensional bar code control system

System includes a video sensor with integrated display and lighting, which is controlled by a programmable machine controller. In case of wrong code detection on the label, the machine stops or rejects the wrong vial (with optional rejection unit).

Resolution can be set up to 752×480 pixels

Easy setup without PC

30 programs in the memory

Detects the following codes:

• DataMatrix (ECC 200) barcodes
• QR Code (QR and Micro QR)
• Linear barcodes: Code128, Code39, CODABAR, Interleaved 2 of 5, EAN13, EAN8, UPCE, Postnet, IMB, and Pharmacode

 

The quality control system of variable data printing (camera): presence, position, definition

System includes a video sensor with integrated display which is controlled by a programmable machine controller.

System monitors the printing quality in accordance with the previously set range of pixels for every object in a certain scanning area, as well as in accordance with the numbers of objects in this area.

In case of wrong image detection (different from the previously set image), the machine stops or rejects the wrong container (with optional rejection unit).

• Easy system set up without PC.
• Resolution can be set up to 752×480 pixels.
• 30 programs in the memory.
• Adjustable focal distance.

Safety guards

Transparent safety guards are installed around the machine to prevent access to the moving parts during machine operation.

• Interlocks prevent start of the machine, or stop the machine during operation when the doors are opened.
• HMI, start/stop buttons and emergency stop button are installed outside the safety guards.

Set of recommended spare parts

Three-color signal lamp

Vial stabilization unit

Two vertical rollers on the moving platform press vial lateral side to the wrap-around unit during the label feed. This option allows to apply label more evenly, because affection of vial bottom position in relation to side surface, is avoided. Please note, that labeling speed is reduced twice during usage of this option.
