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.  Interlocked with Banner hand sensors for safe platen operation. 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). In lieu of Atlas Vac standard white powdercoated framework, painted  controls cabinet with SS guarding & operator panel. Adds two (2) weeks to lead time.
5. Light Curtain, Category 3, OSHA 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.

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.  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 though 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. 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.

5. Tri-color tower stack light. Green=OK, Red=heat fault, Blue=air fault  (note: Low profile Banner indicator light is standard)
6. Stainless steel framework, welded 3/16” rectangular tubing far superior to angle iron and sheet metal, includes stainless steel controls cabinet. Special option.
7. Light Curtain, Category 3, OSHA Compliant.  Requires Auto Shuttle + Auto Pressure options above.  Provides vertical light curtain across protected tool loading area. Category 3 OSHA compliant with separate safety circuitry.  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 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.

1. Atlas Vac Network System. LAN or PC communication system, requires option 1 & 2 above plus this upgrade of Mitsubishi Operator interface memory, uploads data by Ethernet to client network server for data storage and report functions. 
2. Calibration Services, IQ, OQ, other
3. Translations of PLC Screens and Manuals
4. CE rating certification
5. UL listing on controls cabinet
