Marking and verification system
XMV Mettler-Toledo Garvens

The XMV Marking and Verification system is a complete serialisation solution giving Track & Trace capabilities to existing or new production lines. All components, which include ink jet printing or laser marking systems, high-resolution verification cameras, mechanical transfer units and sorting devices, have been finely tuned to work in perfect unison enabling you to meet global serialisation, E-Pedigree and Track & Trace legal requirements and specifications.

The XMV's high precision mechanical transfer unit takes the carton direct from the cartoner and transfers it to the printer in the optimal position for serialisation marking. The marking is verified for legibility and correctness using a very sensitive optical camera system. The XMV can optionally detect if the carton has open flaps or is not correctly aligned to protect the printer head and downstream bundle packaging equipment. All cartons where the marking cannot be 100% verified as being "good" are reliably rejected into the lockable catch bin. Finally all "good" cartons are safely transferred to the customer's conveyor for further processing.

This system's industry proven, modular design can be fitted with a wide range of world leading marking and optical verification devices. This allows you to tailor the XMV to your specific application and trusted equipment supplier requirements. One touchscreen interface makes product change, download of printing information and camera adjustments simple and fast thereby reducing downtime.
