In-line coding
April 1st 2007 On Stand 4221 Sunala will preview a new advanced version of the Wolke m600 thermal transfer ink jet printer and demonstrate the latest version of its Pharmacarton Coding Station, designed for inline high resolution printing of lot, expiry and barcodes for pharmaceutical and medical cartons. The Pharmacarton II has been designed around the Animal Health requirement of massserialisation using Datamatrix codes and proposed future changes to European pharmaceutical traceability requirements. The new model resolves the issue of printing high density barcodes and 2D codes in-line by totally controlling the carton during the print and vision process. Codes are printed using the Wolke m600 Advanced thermal inkjet printer and then verified by a SEA Vision OCV character verification system. In addition, the unit incorporates a carton conveyor, stabilising belts and a reject unit to remove sub-standard packs immediately and help maintain line speeds. More articles from Sunala Ltd: |
