![]() | Photographic Label Cutting.As an example of a machine that enjoyed a continuous production run, the 'Rotocut' was produced to fill a need in the photofinishing industry. Used in small to medium sized Photographic laboratories it accepts rolls of processed prints and simultaneously laminates and cuts the prints to produce continuous rolls of peelable self adhesive labels. The production rate is up to 20,000 prints per hour. The machine is unique in using a roller die that is synchronised with the photographic images to ensure accurate cut registration while being easy to operate These machines are currently in service in over ten countries world-wide and have been in production for over 12 years. All design and fabrication was done in house. |
Tabbing Machine.This machine produces self adhesive plastic hanging tabs used in the retail industry to allow product packaging to be hung in display cabinets. The machine laminates a plastic strip to an adhesive tape and punches and crops the resulting composite to produce the complete tab. Each tab is produced in approximately 1/10th second and is added to a peelable backing tape in packs of ten tabs. Packs are produced at a rate of approximately 1 per second. The machine uses servo control for positioning and feeding the laminate into a reciprocating multifunction punch tooling head. | ![]() |
