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 memory stick. Sealer is ready for operation upon connection to correct 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 shuttles for extremely smooth cycle, single speed with gentle acceleration and deceleration of shuttles.  Interlocked with Banner hand sensors for safe platen operation.  Includes stainless steel side guards over the shuttle bearings.
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. Light Curtain, Class 3, OSHA & CE Compliant.  Requires Auto Shuttle + Auto Pressure options above.  Provides horizontal light curtain across protected tool loading area. Class 3 OSHA compliant with separate safety circuitry.  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.

1. Upgrade of standard manual pressure regulator. Auto Pressure Process Control System including additional programming to Mitsubishi PLC & Beijer K30m 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. 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).
2. Wireless Network connectivity for remote Atlas Vac support.
3. Calibration Services.
4. CE or CSA rating certification
5. UL listing on controls cabinet
6. Alarm horn-buzzer
