First Edale Lambda in the UK
Edale has secured their first UK Lambda order from a major UK player in the labelling industry.
Over fifty customers from the UK and overseas were welcomed to Romsey to see for themselves the Lambda's capabilities.
Although the Lambda on show was configured for RFID inlay insertion, Jeremy Westcott, Edale's Lambda Sales Engineer, was keen to point out the versatility and scope of the press, "the Lambda is an infinitely flexible solution".
"Typical offline solutions include Coating, Booklet insertion, Multi-web application and two RFID insertion configurations; but these are by no means exclusive nor inadaptable".
"The press can be configured to any conceivable web path and easily reconfigured or upgraded at a later date".
It's difficult to fully comprehend the concept of the Lambda without seeing it in action.
Those attending were visibly impressed by the 'Plug and Play' technology that allows specification of any conceivable configuration and the open architecture design which enables adjustment, reconfiguration and upgrade.
This flexibility and re-configurability makes the Lambda unique in its field and at a fraction of the cost compared with other RFID application machines.
Multi-lane options, across the web, are available which is crucial once volume increases.
The Lambda concept minimises the risk that such a machine will ever become redundant because of the flexible platform design enabling the re-configuration at any stage.
Westcott added, "The open house has been such a success that we have decided to extend into the first few months of 2007 with dedicated company presentations and customer job demonstrations".
With installations already under their belt, Edale looks set to forge new ground with this the fourth machine in their encompassing range.
