Owner’s manual (1 copy) with operation instructions, maintenance information, recommended spares list, schematics, Atlas Vac calibration document and Atlas Vac PLC programs on USB flash drive. Sealer is ready for operation upon connection to air and electric power; air filter included. Any additional FAT, or other documents and procedures, may require additional charge based on scope and hours needed to complete.

Tooling nests not included, quoted separately .

1. Auto Shuttle System; electrically operated for extremely smooth cycle, single speed with gentle acceleration and deceleration of shuttle.  Interlocrked with Banner hand sensors for safe platen operation. Reduces operator repetitive motion fatigue and harsh displacement of tray contents.
2. Upgrade from standard manual pressure regulator. Auto Pressure Regulator Process  Control System including additional programming to Mitsubishi PLC & Beijer operator interface, pressure transducer using I/P transmitter for automatic programmed fine air pressure closed loop control with PLC controlled auto regulator through OIT screen setting. Always includes AV standard digital pressure and temperature monitors with alarm system on OIT. Provides Auto Air Pressure Control settings on the screen in lieu of standard manually set regulator.
3. Light Curtain, Category 3, OSHA & CE Compliant. Provides vertical light curtains across protected tool loading area with stationary side guards of SS and Lexan. Class 3 OSHA, ISO13849, ISO13857 compliant with separate safety circuitry and safety controller. Keyence light curtain system positioned at correct distances to meet ISO13849 integrated to a) safety rated dual channel Ross air supply valve to moving seal press and, b) safety contactor for electric shuttle motion circuit for operator safety. Eliminates the standard Banner Optitouch hand sensors and is replaced by single green push button to initiate the entire cycle. Any light curtain violation will require the cycle to re-home and start over. Includes Short Cycle alarm and acknowledgement screen for interrupted press cycle. Auto Pressure regulation is still provided by standard Festo system per above.
4. Seal Tool Recognition System; RFID 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. Auto Eject Tooling System. Auto Eject for gentle automatic and/or manual ejection lift of sealed trays as the Auto Shuttle system (option required) returns to the home position.  The eject lift dwell time can be adjusted from 1-10 second duration. This option has a pneumatic drive system, built into the tray sealer and requires matching Atlas Vac tooling equipped with the ejection pneumatic actuator to be connected when the tooling is placed on the shuttle. Sealer can also run non-eject legacy tooling as well.
6. 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 a & b below, 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.
7. Stainless steel framework, welded 3/16” rectangular tubing far superior to angle iron and sheet metal, includes stainless steel controls cabinet (special option). In lieu of Atlas Vac standard white powdercoated framework, painted controls cabinet with SS guarding & operator panel. Adds (2-4) weeks to lead time.
