UNIVERSYS - AUTOMATIC CARD TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The univerSYS, a fully automatic card transport system, is especially designed for the personalisation of single cards. It combines both coding with security technology -- separation, rotation, ink jet, hot stamping or label and stacking modules with cameras. Thus it meets a wide variety of personalisation requirements. The range of application covers addresses, personal data, pin numbers, barcodes, serial numbers, expiry data as well as scratch off strips e.g. security labels, covering secret data. Integrated cameras guarantee safe and correct data handling. Due to its modular, tailor-made design the univerSYS is perfectly suited for the individualization of tags, membership cards, prepaid cards, magnetic stripe and chip cards, etc.
The univerSYS standard model comprises the following modules:
Separation module: Separates ISO standard cards by friction. Designed for material thickness from 32 mil – 40 mil (0.2 - 1 mm).
Rotation module: Turns the cards from portrait to landscape allowing coding in both directions.
Print module: Equipped with two alphaJET C print heads, 55 µ nozzle. It can easily be upgraded to 4 print heads. Integrated code camera to check and report all relevant printing information for correct data handling.
Hot stamping module: The KBA-Metronic hot stamping unit M06 covers data with scratch off foil up to a maximum of 400 mm2. Capacity up to 7,200 cards/hour, or as Rotative Hot stamping unit with a capacity up to 12,000 cards/hour. The module can also be equipped with the labeller as a customer option. In addition a second camera is available to check for the presence of scratch off strips.
Stacking module: Includes a KBA-Metronic standard conveyor belt and a reject station.
Runs like clockwork - Economical, easy to use, extremely efficient and robust, the alphaJET series continuous ink jet printers are ideal for industrial applications.
alphaJET C - THE CLASSIC CHOICE FOR A NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS
The alphaJET C is a freely programmable ink jet printing system, which works on the continuous ink jet principle, for non-contact coding with coloured and pigmented inks. The alphaJET C can be integrated into a network of PC, barcode reader, image analysis control and x-y axes systems, as well as with one single production line, or print completely different data simultaneously at two separate production lines. The alphaJET C uses fast drying inks which guarantee optimum adhesion. The widest variety of materials can be printed with the alphaJET C, e.g. webs, glass, metal, plastic, paper, etc. Even on irregular and recessed surfaces, the print image of 1-6 lines is of consistently high quality.
The range of application covers expiry dates, batch numbers, logos, barcodes (EAN, 215 i, Code 39, etc.), Data Matrix Code, current numbering, production data like dates, time, shift identification, etc. In inline operation, the items to be coded are processed with a speed of up to 8 m per second. As the printing unit and control unit of the alphaJET C are independent of each other, further printing units can be controlled and synchronised by one single master unit. The customer not only has standard inks at his disposal, but also pigmented inks and special inks such as petrol-resistant, non-fading, UV-detectable inks, or inks suitable for food processing industries. The special construction of the alphaJET C allows for the use of pigmented inks for high-contrast and non-fade coding on difficult surfaces.
The alphaJET C is controlled by means of an integrated terminal with membrane keyboard. The interfacing enables easy connection with other alphaJET C printers and with outside controlling systems. Solvent consumption and emissions are reduced to a minimum due to the unique solvent recovery system (2,5ml/h at 20°C).
alphaJET C-HS – MARKINT WITH SMALL FONTS AT HIGH SPEED
The alphaJET C-HS (where HS stands for high-speed), another of our continuous inkjet printers, was developed to meet speed requirements in conjunction with small type but excellent typography, particularly for single line cable coding. The print head had to be adapted in order to reach speeds of up to 10 m/s with a 55µ nozzle. Geared to the requirements of the cable industry, several dye based and pigmented inks are currently being used in the alphaJET C-HS.
alphaJET E – MEETS IP 55 REQUIREMENTS
The functions of the alphaJET E have been geared to the requirements of the drinks and food industry. With a 24-point matrix, the alphaJET E prints up to four lines for top grade application of production and product data. The housing was developed in compliance with the required IP 55 protection class for damp and wet rooms and it has been adopted as a standard feature. With this conception it has been possible to implement an extended temperature range of 5° C to 45° C. The economic operation and low consumption makes the alphaJET E suitable for large production volumes.
