In-line checkweighing and printing system for cartons
Ensuring the accuracy and integrity of carton packaging in pharmaceuticals or other high-stakes industries demands reliable inline checkweighing and marking systems. Issues like mislabeled cartons or incorrect weights can disrupt processes and compromise quality control standards.
Combine checkweighing with three-side data printing
The Print & Check Checkweigher (VM0600) from Antares Vision integrates checkweighing with multi-side data printing and verification. This standalone module supports both inline and offline operations, accommodating line speeds up to 300 pieces per minute depending on carton format size. It effectively uses a fin-belt conveyor system to maintain carton positioning and incorporates Thermal Inkjet (TIJ) and laser printing technologies. The TIJ system can handle up to four print heads to mark data on three sides of a carton, while the laser printing system can accommodate up to two print heads for marking on the top and machine sides. Additionally, it features a single HMI for seamless function management and periodic calibration settings under specific login authorization, ensuring regulated operations.
