- 采用通用型控制器來管理和指引打印頭的運(yùn)動(dòng)、基于攝像頭的打標(biāo)時(shí)機(jī)和質(zhì)量檢驗(yàn)、打印計(jì)數(shù)器以及供墨系統(tǒng)監(jiān)測(cè)
Matthews解決方案
Matthews 的解決方案Matthews 推薦了自己的按需式 (DOD) 大字符打標(biāo)系統(tǒng) VIAjet
V 系列，該系統(tǒng)配備了 2 個(gè) 32 閥門 8000+ 打印頭。Matthews 的打印頭采用了微型閥門技術(shù)，既能減少墨水消耗，又能高速生成輪廓分明的高質(zhì)量標(biāo)記，其尺寸從 0.125 英寸到 5 英寸（3.175 毫米到 127 毫米）不等。為了保持生產(chǎn)速度并盡可能減少操作人員的干預(yù)，每個(gè)打印頭都配有大流量墨水系統(tǒng)泵。推薦的墨水 – SCP-411A 黑色墨水采用能夠附著于鋁材的速干配方，而附加串聯(lián)加熱裝置可在打印完成后立即進(jìn)行干燥處理，從而加快標(biāo)記的干燥速度。
此外，該解決方案還集成了視覺系統(tǒng)，由此可以實(shí)現(xiàn)質(zhì)量分級(jí)。此項(xiàng)功能以及打印計(jì)數(shù)器、打標(biāo)時(shí)機(jī)和墨水液面高度監(jiān)測(cè)均由 Matthews 的打標(biāo)打碼自動(dòng)化平臺(tái) MPERIA? 控制。
MPERIA 采用帶有插件和 I/O 模塊的定制軟件解決方案，能夠與所有組件通信并使它們同步，從而以每分鐘 200 英尺的速度生產(chǎn)準(zhǔn)確的可變數(shù)據(jù)矩陣碼。再者，MPERIA 可與工廠的主機(jī)軟件通信，以獲得指定生產(chǎn)批次的正確打碼數(shù)據(jù)。為了免受惡劣環(huán)境侵襲，MPERIA 控制器帶有特制的外殼。

Matthews的解決方案
Matthews 建議添置 VIAjet V 系列按需式 (DOD) 大字符打標(biāo)系統(tǒng)，該系統(tǒng)配備 1 個(gè) 32 閥門 8000+ 打印頭并采用對(duì)比度高的 SCP-800A 白色顏料墨水，由 Matthews 的打標(biāo)打碼自動(dòng)化平臺(tái) MPERIA 驅(qū)動(dòng)。以白色墨水直接在管件上印制標(biāo)記，使得所有標(biāo)記都能與任何深色鋼制承印材料形成鮮明對(duì)比，對(duì)于客戶以及對(duì)于影像設(shè)備來說都十分清晰易讀。此外，Matthews 的打印頭采用了微型閥門技術(shù)，既能減少墨水消耗量，又能高速生成輪廓分明的高質(zhì)量標(biāo)記，其尺寸從 0.125 英寸到 5 英寸（3.175 毫米到 127 毫米）不等。MPERIA 系統(tǒng)既能控制 V 系列設(shè)備，又能存儲(chǔ)適用于其它產(chǎn)品的多種可變標(biāo)記和信息。當(dāng)產(chǎn)品發(fā)生變化時(shí)，工人可以在生產(chǎn)線邊上輕松選擇或修改所需的標(biāo)記和編碼。首次安裝大獲成功，所以該公司在其它多家工廠實(shí)施了同一套打印解決方案，并計(jì)劃繼續(xù)推而廣之。

]]>問題
位于美國(guó)新澤西州薩德爾布魯克的 JCS Global Distribution 公司曾經(jīng)使用噴墨打碼機(jī)在各種紙板包裝盒上印制生產(chǎn)批號(hào)和日期編碼標(biāo)記，承印材料包括高光、金屬或深度著色涂層，等等。此外，這家工廠偶爾也會(huì)給塑料包裝罐或包裝瓶打標(biāo)。為了高效運(yùn)行，生產(chǎn)批號(hào)打碼機(jī)需要以每分鐘 20 個(gè)硬紙盒的速度印制含有所需信息的標(biāo)記。但是，當(dāng)時(shí)的運(yùn)行速度達(dá)不到這么高。
“我們每天都會(huì)耗時(shí)長(zhǎng)達(dá)一小時(shí)來設(shè)法讓噴墨打印機(jī)正常工作，有時(shí)候還會(huì)花費(fèi)遠(yuǎn)長(zhǎng)于此的時(shí)間?！盝CS 運(yùn)營(yíng)經(jīng)理 Clifford Potters 回憶道， “這些打印機(jī)非常不可靠，需要不斷進(jìn)行清潔。清潔不但工作又臟又費(fèi)時(shí)，而且并不能讓性能有所提升或者變得可靠一點(diǎn)。”
Potters 和其他管理層人員一致認(rèn)為：對(duì)于一家每天包裝成千上萬件產(chǎn)品的企業(yè)而言，生產(chǎn)時(shí)間的損失足以促使其尋求更加可靠的全新打碼解決方案。
解決方案
Potters 首先對(duì)網(wǎng)上可供選擇的生產(chǎn)批號(hào)打碼機(jī)進(jìn)行了一番研究?！拔以诨ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)上尋找出售打碼機(jī)的企業(yè)，偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了幾家。”他說道， “但是它們大多地處海外，沒有一家公司能夠出來演示一下產(chǎn)品，或者讓我找人聊一聊?！?/em>
Potters 通過電子郵件聯(lián)系到 Matthews Marking，詢問了關(guān)于備選方案的問題。沒過多久，Matthews Marking 的客戶經(jīng)理 Tom Milot 就聯(lián)系了他。兩人討論了 JCS Global Distribution 存在的問題，Milot 精心安排了一次現(xiàn)場(chǎng)演示，為此親自帶來了一套 VIApack 熱噴墨打印系統(tǒng)。
根據(jù) JCS 對(duì)高速打印高分辨率標(biāo)記的要求，VIApack 是理想的解決方案，尤其適用于包裝標(biāo)記 – 例如批次編碼、日期編碼、固定和可變文字、圖形以及條形碼。VIApack 系統(tǒng)包含了 VIAjet L 系列熱噴墨打印頭、一個(gè)光敏電阻以及安裝硬件。此外，它還配備了 MPERIA? 打標(biāo)打碼自動(dòng)化平臺(tái)，該平臺(tái)可以通過觸摸屏控制打印機(jī)并管理信息的創(chuàng)建和編輯。由此而來的開箱即用全包式解決方案可以在生產(chǎn)線中輕松實(shí)施。
VIApack 系統(tǒng)能夠輕松應(yīng)對(duì)該企業(yè)的打印速度，因?yàn)樗梢圆捎媚芤宰罡呙糠昼?200 英尺的速度印制高分辨率標(biāo)記（每英寸 600 x 600 點(diǎn)）的配置，也可采用能以最高每分鐘 1,660 英尺的高速度和每英寸 600 x 75 點(diǎn)的分辨率打標(biāo)的配置。為了解決清潔方面的難題，L12 采用了與桌面打印機(jī)相似的基于墨盒的供墨系統(tǒng)。Milot 還推薦了 Matthews Marking 的 LS-6023 速干墨水來適配多種紙板表面材料。
“Tom 匆匆趕來，為我們演示了一套非?？煽俊⒎浅Ｍ晟频牡南到y(tǒng)。其余供應(yīng)商全都不愿出來一趟，在我們自己的包裝盒上進(jìn)行產(chǎn)品演示?！盤otters 回憶道，“重要的是，我們能夠在自己的廠房里接受面對(duì)面的培訓(xùn)，而且這款生產(chǎn)批號(hào)打碼機(jī)還允許我們先試用再購買。”
結(jié)果
據(jù) Potters 稱，自該系統(tǒng)安裝以來，JCS Global Distribution 經(jīng)歷的停機(jī)時(shí)間較以往減少了 99% 以上。此外，設(shè)置時(shí)間也減少了 95%，而且 MPERIA 多語言觸摸屏界面大大降低了培訓(xùn)操作人員的難度。
“這套系統(tǒng)既可靠又完善；我們現(xiàn)在只需啟動(dòng)各裝置，插入墨盒 – 就是這么簡(jiǎn)單?！彼赋?，“再者，由于我們?cè)僖膊槐赝Ｏ聛砭S護(hù)或清潔舊打印機(jī)，產(chǎn)能也大有提升。最后，時(shí)間就是金錢；我們現(xiàn)在履行訂單時(shí)不會(huì)因設(shè)法維護(hù)舊系統(tǒng)而延遲?！?/em>
Potters 和 Soos 一開始預(yù)計(jì)全新 VIApack 系統(tǒng)可在 4 個(gè)月內(nèi)收回成本，因?yàn)榭煽啃院蜕a(chǎn)力均有提升；后來，他們將回本周期改成了 2 個(gè)月。
“得益于這套全新系統(tǒng)，我們能夠延長(zhǎng)生產(chǎn)時(shí)間并減少用工人數(shù)，整體運(yùn)營(yíng)成本不再因時(shí)間和人手問題而增加。它遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了我們的目標(biāo)?！盤otters 解釋道，“Matthews Marking 的解決方案使我們能夠以合理的成本保持旺盛的生產(chǎn)力?！?/p>

]]>問題
2013 年，位于美國(guó)新澤西州東盧瑟福的食品配料行業(yè)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者 Corbion 每天采用模板印刷技術(shù)，在超過 10,000 個(gè)用于帶包裝速凍食品的瓦楞紙箱上預(yù)印可變數(shù)據(jù)和標(biāo)志。對(duì)于包裝箱數(shù)量不到 100 個(gè)的生產(chǎn)批次，該公司會(huì)在空箱上粘貼預(yù)印標(biāo)簽。進(jìn)行一番全面審查后，管理層人員認(rèn)定上述兩種打標(biāo)工序都存在浪費(fèi)、昂貴和過時(shí)的問題，并且需要占用過多人力和建筑面積。
“我們常有未經(jīng)使用的多余預(yù)印紙箱，還會(huì)遇到分揀問題 – 例如將產(chǎn)品包裝在錯(cuò)誤的紙箱內(nèi)，許多非生產(chǎn)性活動(dòng)與這一作業(yè)環(huán)節(jié)有關(guān)。”Corbion 的持續(xù)改進(jìn)經(jīng)理 Alex Iskander 說道。
兩種打標(biāo)方法都造成了工作流程問題和不必要的開支：模板印刷成本為每個(gè)紙箱 0.04 美元，而標(biāo)簽成本為每個(gè)紙箱 0.12 美元。Corbion 需要采用最新打標(biāo)打碼解決方案來滿足業(yè)務(wù)需求并節(jié)省公司的資金。該解決方案需要與高速運(yùn)行的生產(chǎn)線保持同步，同時(shí)也需要在溫度為 35 華氏度、空氣中經(jīng)常漂浮著面粉碎屑的工廠環(huán)境中有效運(yùn)行。
Corbion 最終在 2013 年選擇了 Matthews Marking Systems，并在 2018 年再次由后者為其提供更多硬紙盒打標(biāo)解決方案。
解決方案
Matthews 最初為 Corbion 提供的按需式在線硬紙盒打印解決方案能夠準(zhǔn)確地打標(biāo)打碼，同時(shí)提高了打印工序的效率。它包含了 MPERIA? 打標(biāo)打碼自動(dòng)化平臺(tái)，搭配高分辨率壓電式 VIAjet T-100 系列噴墨打印頭。該解決方案最終消除了對(duì)預(yù)印以及工廠內(nèi)紙箱存放的需求。
借助于 MPERIA 控制器，Corbion 可以通過單一觸摸屏界面創(chuàng)建和存儲(chǔ)用于多條生產(chǎn)線的信息。此外，該控制器還能無縫集成公司先前所用設(shè)計(jì)軟件中的標(biāo)簽格式，簡(jiǎn)化了標(biāo)簽創(chuàng)建過程，使操作人員能夠快速更改和編輯信息。再者，該系統(tǒng)可以防止出現(xiàn)打碼錯(cuò)誤以及與之相關(guān)的包裝有誤的紙箱。
VIAjet T 系列打印機(jī)可以記錄并在滲透性材料上直接打印每一個(gè)生產(chǎn)批號(hào)數(shù)字、紙箱計(jì)數(shù)標(biāo)識(shí)碼以及生產(chǎn)日期和時(shí)間。它們配備了自動(dòng)清潔系統(tǒng)，能夠循環(huán)使用墨水并盡可能減少墨水消耗量，因此具有更高的性價(jià)比。再者，墨水采用了適合低溫環(huán)境的配方，而該打標(biāo)系統(tǒng)還配備了板載加熱器，確保墨水在噴出之前保持流體狀態(tài)，同時(shí)不會(huì)顯著發(fā)熱或?qū)χ車h(huán)境造成影響。
結(jié)果
自 2013 年安裝以來，Corbion 減少了預(yù)印紙箱庫存量、釋放了倉庫空間并降低了與紙箱包裝錯(cuò)誤有關(guān)的人工成本。再者，印刷成本大大降低，模板印刷紙箱每個(gè)降低了 0.038 美元，貼標(biāo)紙箱每個(gè)降低了 0.118 美元?？傮w而言，該公司每年可節(jié)省超過 80,000 美元的成本，而且這套新系統(tǒng)已經(jīng)收回了成本。
由于 MPERIA 充當(dāng)了多個(gè)打印頭和多條生產(chǎn)線的中央操作系統(tǒng)，該解決方案伴隨著 Corbion 不斷變化的需求而發(fā)展壯大。例如，初次安裝之后過了兩年，該工廠增加了兩臺(tái)用于印制生產(chǎn)批號(hào)和日期編碼標(biāo)記的 Matthews VIAjet L 系列 L12 高分辨率熱噴墨打印機(jī)。得益于 MPERIA 與生俱來的控制能力，新增設(shè)備輕而易舉地集成到既有生產(chǎn)線中。
Corbion 初次采購之后過了好幾年，Matthews Marking 推出了 T 系列打印機(jī)的“E”版本。這款最新打印機(jī)運(yùn)行速度較前一款產(chǎn)品提高了 25%，并且可以放在與目標(biāo)表面間距幾乎兩倍于前作的位置，同時(shí)仍然可以生成具有高對(duì)比度的標(biāo)記、文字和圖形。更大的間距盡可能降低了紙箱接觸打印頭的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，能夠防止墨水噴嘴積灰，因此可以減少維護(hù)并延長(zhǎng)打印頭的使用壽命。
Iskander 對(duì)兩次實(shí)施的結(jié)果以及安裝后的服務(wù)十分滿意，并向 Corbion 業(yè)務(wù)網(wǎng)絡(luò)中的其他成員推薦了 Matthews Marking：“我在北美和全球企業(yè)會(huì)議上向同事們介紹了我們采用他們的系統(tǒng)所取得的成就，好幾個(gè)人目前已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了購買流程，或者計(jì)劃向 Matthews 購買類似的解決方案?！?/p>

]]>The post Matthews Marking Systems Launches New Product Line Geared Toward OEMs appeared first on Matthews Marking Systems.
]]>Because MPERIA is the only universal controller designed to work with any print technology, OEMs can easily change the printers on the line, per their customers’ needs. One customer might choose a TIJ-based system because of its low capital cost or an application-based need for high resolution codes while another might want valve jet DOD because they want the unprecedented reliability and lower cost-per-mark. All products in the OEM line are much more compact than standard products of the same capabilities, making integration into current production lines a cinch.
The automation software controller, the MPERIA OEM Controller, is a production line controller ideal for OEMs controlling printers while utilizing their own user interface. The MPERIA? OEM Controller is available in three individual models: Lite, Standard, and Advanced; each with their own set of capabilities. All variants of the controller can be remotely managed via VNC and integrated by the end user with either XML or Command Line Protocol.
The enclosed drop-on-demand (DOD) valve jet technology driver, the V-Link OEM, controls Matthews’ 8000+ valve jet printheads. The 8000+ series delivers low ink consumption with high print quality, producing an unparalleled low cost-per-mark. The V-Link OEM is small and compact, making it easily configured into tight spaces on the production line.
The enclosed thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology driver, the L-Link, is a driver module for up to 4 of Matthews’ L-Series L1 printheads. The L-1 printhead is a unique 600 DPI high-resolution cartridge-based thermal inkjet system, that has the ability to print a very high quality 12.5mm (? inch) mark at extreme speeds of 480 m/min (1600 ft/min). These features make it the perfect match for fast, high-volume serialization applications. This small cartridge-based system provides a compact and clean solution with minimal maintenance.
