Thermal ink jet printer replaces embossing
A pharmaceutical company had noted a number of disadvantages in using an in-line embossing system, so it chose a more reliable thermal ink jet printer instead.
The new model resolves the issue of printing high density bar codes and 2D codes in-line by totally controlling the carton during the print and vision process.
Codes are printed using the new Wolke m600 Advanced thermal inkjet printer and then verified by an OCV character verification system.
A major feature of the m600 Advanced is its ability to print in real-time, which is again in accordance with the latest Animal Health requirements for track and traceability.
Data can be inputted from a remote server through the built - in Ethernet port.
The user-friendly printer, using advanced HP technology and water-based inks, can deliver clean and maintenance-free coding onto a wide range of substrates, producing characters and bar codes up to 600dpi.
The Pharmacarton III also comprises a carton conveyor, stabilising belts and a reject unit to remove sub-standard packs immediately and help maintain line speeds.
The unit can be easily integrated into existing packaging lines, requiring minimum space, and is fully adjustable to suit a range of carton sizes.
