Do you want to improve the efficiency of your machinery, boost profits and improve your environmental footprint? We have developed a camera and barcode system that can be retrofitted to saddle stitchers and adhesive binding machines to save you from having to invest in new machinery. This is in response to the wishes of many of our clients who want to make tangible improvements to their postpress processes at a low cost.
Our camera and barcode system helps them to achieve exactly that. It has taken us two years to develop the system, which originated from specific client requirements. The system is built around a Pepperl & Fuchs vision sensor. This camera can compare images (optical comparison) or check barcodes (decoding) at the relevant position.
Check out the October 2020 edition of the German trade journal “bindereport” (only available in German) to read all about exactly how the system works using the example of a Heidelberg Stitchmaster ST450. In addition to the advantages already mentioned, this solution also has a number of other outstanding features:
- No additional set-up time
- Separate controls communicates with existing facility controls – machine halts production if an incorrectly fed sheet is detected or ejects it via a waste sheet tray
- Automatic generation of log files in the background
- System is remotely connecting to a technical hotline
Do you want to make the most of these benefits in your company and retrofit a camera to your saddle stitcher or adhesive binding machine? We are happy to help you!
