Non-Porous Midsize Coders
Non-Porous Midsize Coders
were designed with many unique features to provide the ultimate in
versatility. Interchangeable print drums are available in 12", 15" &
18" circumference sizes and can be field converted in a matter of
minutes. Print registration on indexing models can be adjusted by
loosening the Print Drum retaining knob and rotating the drum to a new
index position. Inking system position adjusting eccentric provides
precise control over the anilox roll/die face contact pressure. The
print drum cam index mechanism features a guide shaft mounted
compression spring for durability. Replaceable delrin guides and a ball
bearing cam follower provide smooth, reliable indexing action even on
slow moving conveyors. The long frame length and extended deflection
capabilities of this coder enable in-line coding of large metal or
plastic drums right on the conveyor line.
Mounting
Configurations: The Non-Porous CLP Coders are available in 1"
and 2" print width models in both Top and Side Mount Configurations.
The model shown in this photo is a Right Hand Top Mount configuration which
would be used to print on a horizontal surface such as a moving web of material.
Side mount configurations differ only in the location of the port for the
4 Oz. Reservoir Ink Cartridges.
These coders can
be field converted from Right Side to Left Side or Right Top to Left Top but
the Inking System Covers are specifically machined for Top or Side mounting
only.
Available in
both indexing and non-indexing (continuous print) models.
Non-Indexing
Models are used for printing on continuous
web materials or long sheet stock. In these applications, the print drum always
remains in contact with the material being printed and the code information
is printed at an interval equal to the print drum circumference (18.0")
Indexing Models
are used to print on varnished cartons or other individual products which
are typically being transported on a conveyor. In these applications, as the
print drum disengages from the trailing end of the product, a spring mechanism
returns the print drum to the index position. This results in the code being
printed on each carton in the same registered position relative to the leading
edge.
