18:30 OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES:

1. Auto Shuttle System; adjustable acceleration and deceleration of shuttles for shuttle operation. Air operated.  Includes stainless steel side guards over the shuttle bearings.
2. 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.
3. Stainless steel framework, welded 3/16” rectangular tubing far superior to angle iron and sheet metal, includes stainless steel controls cabinet
4. Safety interlocking Lexan safety guard covers, hard wired interlocks. Class 3
5. 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 or b below).   Speeds validation experiment settings with new package designs. For reference only, not a closed loop system.

18:30 PROCESS CONTROL & DOCUMENTATION OPTIONS:

a)     Mitsubishi 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. Standard AV digital pressure and temperature monitors with alarm system.  Enhanced screen.  Provides Auto Air Pressure Control settings on the screen in lieu of standard manually set regulator. Stores 99 programs 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 communication channel to PCL5 printer for printing parameter information to labels or report document on every cycle (standard) or to a lot run report (optional). Printer not included (ex. HP Laserjet P2015).

c)      Pressure setting through PLC using I/P transmitter (included in a & b above or a la carte option here) instead of standard precision manual regulator.

d)     Allen Bradley PLC and PanelView 550 or 600 systems in lieu of Mits E1032

e)     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 to client network server for data storage and report functions.  Also enables the downloading of PLC recipe from secure file server.  Can be offered with AB PLC components but must utilize Mits Operator Interface (request special quote).

f)       Calibration Services, IQ, OQ, other

g)      Translations of PLC Screens and Manuals

h)     CE rating certification

i)       UL listing on controls cabinet

j)       Barcode reader & integration

k)      Printer; HP Laserjet P2015 or Zebra TLP-2844
