Dartronics is pleased to present our Marking and Coding Applications, such as the feeding of bags and marking them with the Hitachi RX printer.
Dartronics provided Keyence Laser Marker with a product handling solution. The entire system is PLC controlled. The system allows for marking batches of products. The exact amount is handed over to the operator for hand packing.
Provided Customer digital printing system to mark sheets of Formica with product information, part number, and logo. The sheets were later cut into smaller samples to be handed out at the stores. Dartronics provided custom mounting of the 24 print heads, custom software, and integration to the customer computer system. System was sold as a bolt-on-top printing solution to an OEM that manufactured the product handling.
Printheads were divided into two sections that could be lifted and swung out for maintenance and docking. The printer is capable of printing at speeds up to 147 feet per minute. Dryers were installed to cure the ink quickly after printing to achieve the crisp/clear marks the customer required.
Dartronics is pleased to present the Hitachi UX CIJ Printer for date coding the bottom of craft beer cans. UX-D160W – Dynamic Cartridge Model capable of printing up to 6 lines of text.
The DJ-240 printing system prints 140mm or 5.5″ of text, logos, barcodes and more onto the top of shipping cases. Each H-510 print head has over 500 nozzles that print 180 dpi of resolution.
The customer wanted to improve the marking and coding of the ice cream wrappers. The original mechanical coders did not print consistently and reliably. They also required manual change of type for product changes. We provided an HP digital printing solution. Now they can change product codes on the fly providing real-time and date information. Included with the system was an operator-friendly custom-written software package that controls all printers with one operator interface screen.
The customer needed a way to quickly and easily remove the printing equipment from the production area so wash down could be performed. Dartronics provided a portable cart that contained Mini-Touch print head controllers, an Integrated PC with a touch panel with custom software, a Battery Backup system, and mounting to hold 8 print heads. Each print head was removable from the bridge without the use of tools.
We provided a hand-operated locking latch (no tools required) to securely hold print heads in place at the same time making it easy to remove for wash down at the end of the production run.
