Wide reaching solutions portfolio targets broad sector requirements

 HUNTINGDON, UK – August 13th, 2014 – Videojet Technologies’ newly-launched Videojet 9550 Print and Apply Labelling (LPA) System will be among the solutions highlighting the manufacturers’ broad portfolio at PPMA 2014, NEC, Birmingham, September 30 to October 2, stand D50.

“Visitors will be able to see a wide array of systems to address any coding need,” explained Richard Roth, Country Manager UK & Ireland. “In our current environment of increasing needs for traceability and new regulations prescribing essential on-pack information, the need to deliver high quality coding has become an important driver for many operations. Furthermore, the list of sectors now seeking these kinds of capabilities is increasing, which is why we offer a broad portfolio with so many retrofittable options.”

Taking centre-stage of a host of options being showcased at the PPMA is the new Videojet 9550 Print and Apply Labelling (LPA) System. The Videojet 9550 features Intelligent Motion technology to reduce the five most common reasons for LPA downtime — label, web or ribbon jams, mechanical failures and mechanical adjustments. An, intuitive touchscreen interface removes the potential for confusion with dual interfaces while built-in code assurance makes coding mistakes virtually impossible.

The Videojet 9550’s small footprint and simple mounting solutions enable the System to apply labels directly onto outer case and bundle packaging without the need for an applicator, achieving higher throughput and eliminating label jams. Its breakthrough design eliminates the mechanical adjustments, wear parts and failure points that can cause everyday operational problems while minimal set up time and a simple web path achieves label and ribbon changes in less than 60 seconds.

Comments Mr Roth, “As manufacturers implement and drive lean practices, their operations teams are focused on the high value tasks in their production flow.  Most have limited time to focus on the end-of-line labelling systems that require mechanical adjustments and frequent intervention. Our new System was developed precisely to respond to these needs.”

Joining the Videojet 9550 Print and Apply Labelling (LPA) System will be examples from Videojet’s entire product portfolio, from continuous and thermal inkjet systems to large character marking systems, as well as CO2 and fiber lasers. All solutions are supported by a Videojet remote user interface based upon the intuitive CLARiTY operating system.

Videojet’s expertise will be supported by exhibiting partners Interactive Coding Solutions (ICE), distributor for thermal transfer overprinting systems and Sunala, distributor of the Wolke m600 thermal ink jet coding systems. Together, Videojet, ICE and Sunala are the experts in coding and able to provide a solution for any coding requirement.

Concludes Mr Roth, “The PPMA is a perfect platform to demonstrate our varied capabilities and expertise in close co-operation with our partners.  Together, we are excited by the opportunity to

provide our customers with a variety of ways to solve any of the coding challenges their businesses face.”
