Description
The ALline series has been developed with the latest ALTECH design criteria, based on years of experience having thousands of machines installed around the world. The result is a series of labellers designed in strict compliance with CE safety regulations, suitable for the heaviest work-loads. The systems provide extremely accurate label placement at high production speeds and feature a superior level of operator friendliness. Changeovers are simple, tool-less and intuitive.
ALTECH’s philosophy is to provide a “built-in” structure for our labelling machines. This means that all components are mounted on or are enclosed in sturdy base well protected against dirt and accidental bumps. Labelling heads are mounted firmly to the base to eliminate vibration which can affect labelling accuracies. The modern design looks suitable for any packaging line. Internal cabling guarantees improved protection as well as a clean design. Every ALline labeller is controlled by a powerful PLC. Through its color touch screen HMI, it is possible to set all the electrical devices of the machine, minimizing the need for individual adjustment of these units. Recipes can be stored for these components, labelling parameters, for 100 different products / labels, resulting in fast, simple changeovers.
The mechanical adjustments have been engineered so that every component can be firmly secured during operation while providing accurate repeatability during changeovers. All handwheels include rotary counters, their positioning values can be noted in the HMI and can be recalled with the related format recipe. As option it is available to have full electronic drive for each adjustment axis.
A multicolor alarm beacon (standard on each ALline) provides warnings related to the machine status. In addition it is possible to equip the system with a number of optional devices to improve operating efficiency including items such as: an “energy saving system”, a 4.0 connectivity interface, sensors to automatically control the product flow (minimum load/outfeed backup).
