Xyntek-Antares Print & Check Datamatrix

Source: Xyntek-Antares

Print & Check is the complete family of serialization modules compliant to the current and upcoming regulations on traceability and e-pedigree. Besides printing and verifying the Datamatrix and variable data, Print & Check can integrate labelling modules for “French vignette” or “Italian Bollino”, check-weigher, and tamper-evident-seal modules thus allowing a great saving of space on the packaging lines.

Traceability And Serialization

  • A real-time device manages all data, from serialization to the construction the parent/child relations at different packaging levels, assuring data consistency and security in any condition. A UPS ensures data integrity in the event of a power failure. The software is part of the ATS-Antares Tracking System architecture for total management at warehouse, plant and corporate level.

Printing Accuracy

  • Compliance with proportions and absence of print deformation thanks to the high performance controller and to perfect synchronization with belt speed.

Online Check OfDatamatrix Print Quality

  • In addition to Datamatrix recognition, the vision system also performs the grade evaluation according to ISO/IEC 15415 standard for the following parameters: contrast, modulation, fixed pattern damage, axial non uniformity, grid non uniformity, unused error correction.

Quick And Easy Size Changeover

  • Print heads and cameras move jointly on the rails: simple counters ease format changeover.

High Throughput

  • Up to 400 cartons per minute, thanks to highly reliable mechanical components and vision system processing power.

High Performance Exclusive Inks

  • Water based, fast-drying and high contrast inks, formulated for the most demanding graphic applications. Alcohol based inks are available to print on varnished surfaces.

Cartridge Ink Level Control

  • An alarm warns the operator when the ink level is below a minimum. Cartridges are very easy to replace.

Head Protection And Cleaning Kit

  • A plastic cap is available to protect the head from drying out in the event of prolonged inactivity. The cleaning kit minimizes ink loss and avoids head damaging.

Alternative Print Technologies

  • Laser/DOD printing system available upon request.

Rejection System

  • Air-blow or mechanical (optional for large or heavy cartons).
  • Photocell check to control effectiveness.

Interface With Manual Reader

  • For code verification and reconciliation in tracking applications and for automatic input of production orders from printed barcodes.

High Resolution Cameras

  • High-speed megapixel cameras for all inspection functions, simultaneously performed.

Remote Assistance

  • Remote support through network connection.

21CFR part 11

  • Interface module complies with standard.
