NewsLink #4 - W+D / Nordson envelope inspection system for 102's |
|
In a joint effort both in the US and Germany, W+D has partnered with Nordson to develop a state-of-the-art verification system called the IQS or Inspection Quality System that utilizes a modified Nordson LogiComm device. First shown at Drupa 2008, the system was initially designed for new 202RE and 627 machines. When a defect is realized, the system automatically ejects the envelope(s) from the product stream during machine operation by means of a cull gate on these machine types.
For existing 102 machines, W+D now offers an upgrade that includes the LogiComm verification system.
