Note:  Precision machined tooling nests are quoted separately.

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. Reduces operator repetitive motion fatigue and harsh displacement of tray contents.
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 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.
3. 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.
4. Stainless steel framework, welded 3/16” rectangular tubing far superior to angle iron and sheet metal, includes stainless steel controls cabinet (special option).
5. Air Reservoir, 4.9 gallon ASME certified tank plus ASME pressure relief safety valve to provide boost where air supply and/or plumbing size is deficient.
6. Light Curtain, Class 3, OSHA Compliant, CE.  Frees operator to do other tasks while in cycle.  Requires Auto Shuttle + Auto Pressure options above. Provides horizontal light curtain across protected tool loading area at distances required to meet ISO13849. Class 3 OSHA, CE and ISO13857 compliant with separate safety circuitry and safety controller.  Keyence light curtain system integrated to press air supply valve and electric shuttle motion circuit for operator access safety. Any light curtain violation will require the cycle to re-home and start over. Eliminates the standard Banner Optitouch hand sensors and is replaced by single green push button to initiate the entire cycle.  Standard single channel Festo pneumatic control valves are replaced by dual channel Ross safety rated pneumatic control valve system. Auto Pressure regulation is still provided by standard Festo system per above.
7. Auto Pressure Process Control System including on-screen interface to pressure transducer using I/P transmitter for automatic programmed fine air pressure closed loop control with PLC controlled Festo auto regulator by 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).
