Fully-automatic system for ‘UTC’ laser marking of beverage closures. The system is characterised by its compactness and the option of integration into existing production lines. The closures are fed fully automatically and in the correct position depending on the feed system selected. Depending on the layout of the feed system, closures with a diameter of up to 50 mm can be marked on the inside, but also on the outer surface (top).
They are transported by means of a vacuum band where they undergo ‘On The Fly’ marking. This significantly speeds up the whole process, since no processing time is wasted handling the products. The result is an extremely high marking speed of up to 1500 parts per minute. This depends on the material being marked as well as the text or logo.
A piece of software specially developed for the application called ‘TP_mix’ allows the user to deal with all common variants of marking of ‘UTC closures’. These range from simple logos to the marking of codes (unique message). The user can generate all these variants with great ease and, more importantly, with the level of security (passwords, logging etc.) required for this type of production.
