15:18 OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

1. Auto Shuttle System; electrically operated for extremely smooth cycle, single speed with gentle acceleration and deceleration of shuttle.  Interlocked with Banner hand sensors for safe platen operation.  Includes side clear panel guards at shuttle bearing side locations.
2. Direct Force Sensing System (patented) provides a digital reading of the force (lbs.-force) exerted by the tray sealer press against the tray or blister seal tool area (requires controls option 2 & 3 above, auto regulation).  Results from adjustments in press air pressure can be directly read on the PLC operator screen.  By knowing the lbs-f exerted across the tray sealing tool face, packaging engineers can more closely monitor design variables.  Defining the desired lbs-f in a tray sealing protocol can accommodate variations in air pressure, brands or models of tray sealers, and even tooling designs.  Speeds validation experiment settings with new package designs. For reference only, not a closed loop system.
3. Infrared Thermal Vision System sensors (2) to sense platen surface temp, calibrated at 240 degrees F nominal set point. PLC IR sensor readings individually displayed on screen, for ref only. System is in addition to standard thermocouples.
4. Seal Tool Recognition System; ID electronic sensing feature for accurate program changeovers, requires Process Control System option for pre-programmed menu selections matching the tool ID, no tooling mix-ups ever again.  RFID chip on the tooling verifies the use of the correct PLC recipe on every cycle.
5. Tri-color stack-light.  White=OK, Red=heat fault, Blue=air fault (note: LED on OIT screen is standard)
6. Stainless steel framework, welded 3/16” rectangular tubing far superior to angle iron and sheet metal, includes stainless steel controls cabinet (special option)
7. Safety interlocking Lexan safety guard covers, hard wired interlocks. Class 3
   

15:18 PROCESS CONTROL & DOCUMENTATION OPTIONS

a)     Auto Pressure Process Control System including Mitsubishi PLC & E1032 operator interface, pressure transducer using I/P transmitter for automatic programmed fine air pressure closed loop control with PLC controlled auto regulator by OIT screen setting. Always includes AV standard digital pressure and temperature monitors with alarm system on OIT.  Enhanced screen.  Provides Auto Air Pressure Control settings on the screen in lieu of standard manually set regulator. Stores multiple recipes and can utilize optional tooling ID sensor system to prevent mix-ups and operator delay or errors on changeovers (see Tool ID System).

b)     Seal Parameter Documentation System with above Process Control System including Mitsubishi PLC & E1032, intelligent operator with USB output of pressure transducer, alarms and cut-off external signals in PCL5.  Provides external communication port to PCL5 printer for printing parameter information to labels or report document on every cycle (standard). Printer not included (ex. HP Laserjet P2015)

c)   Allen Bradley PLC Compact Logix and PanelView Plus 700 systems in lieu of Mits FX3u & E1032

d)     Atlas Vac Network System. LAN or PC communication system, requires option a) or b) above plus this upgrade of Mitsubishi Operator interface memory, uploads data by ethernet to client network server for data storage and report functions.
