New printer is an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution, offering improved print quality and reduced coding errors on flexible packaging materials

CHICAGO – July 20 2018 – Videojet Technologies, a global leader in coding, marking and printing solutions, is proud to introduce the Videojet 6230 Thermal Transfer Overprinter (TTO), an easy-to-use printer that helps manufacturers reduce flexible packaging coding errors, and improve Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Videojet understands that manufacturers require a reliable and adaptable solution that helps to ensure codes are printed correctly and accurately, time after time. The Videojet 6230 TTO printer is designed to meet these needs, and provides a solution that offers exceptional user experience with code assurance capabilities.

Utilizing the latest in Videojet technology, the 6230 printer features a simple cassette design that allows for long production runs. Its 700m ribbon length is typically much longer than ribbons used for hot stamp printers, and requires fewer ribbon changes versus other competitive TTO systems. This helps to maximize production uptime, and when a ribbon change is necessary, the 6230 printer makes it safe and easy.

The simple maintenance of the 6230 printer helps to deliver an industry-leading low cost of ownership solution. Moreover, the airless printer design not only eliminates the need for compressed air, but features fewer wear parts through the exclusion of air hoses and connectors. Printer components are fast and easy to replace to help ensure that production is up and running as quickly as possible. The unique printhead is also designed for maximum uptime, since it’s easy to change and requires no additional operator intervention to return to printing functionality.

Designed to withstand typical production line environments, and with its inventive composition, the 6230 printer easily integrates into most production lines, especially those with space limitations.

“Manufacturers lack the flexibility when choosing how they want to operate their Thermal Transfer Overprinter,” explains Heidi Wright, Business Unit Manager TTO, at Videojet Technologies. “With an intuitive, 5” color touchscreen controller, and one-touch job selection functionality, the Videojet 6230 is an easy to operate printer and an ideal solution for manufacturers who wish to migrate from hot stamping technology. In addition, the Videojet 6230 offers manufacturers multiple options aside from the touchscreen user interface when choosing how to operate their printer, including via an Android phone.”

Code Assurance comes as standard in the 6230 printer. Manufacturers can benefit from simple code creation with VideojetConnect™ Design or CLARiSOFT™ software, helping to reduce operator interactions resulting in fewer user errors and unnecessary product waste and rework. The WYSIWYG print preview functionality allows operators to confirm the correct code is selected, and a real-time clock stamp avoids date errors, helping to reduce recall risk.

Available with optional Bluetooth® capability, and with the use of the compatible Bluetooth USB adaptor, the 6230 printer can also be controlled from an Android phone rather than a HMI. With this feature activated, manufacturers can use an Android phone OS 4.4.4 or higher as a graphical user interface, a memory stick to transfer jobs, and barcode job selection functionality. This simplifies operator interaction with the printer and production line.

Wright concludes, “Videojet continues to invest in product research and development, and we are very pleased that this new Thermal Transfer Overprinter offers manufacturers a solution to help reduce flexible packaging coding errors, and improve total cost of ownership.”

The Videojet DataFlex® 6530 and 6330 TTO series offers two new printhead sizes, 107mm and 32mm respectively, increasing the Videojet TTO portfolio for manufacturers using flexible packaging

CHICAGO – May 14, 2019 – Manufacturers using flexible packaging require a thermal transfer printing solution that is quick, simple and virtually error-proof, allowing them to spend more time focusing on the critical aspects of their business, such as improving production line efficiency and reducing overall operating costs. In response to this need, Videojet has just expanded its range of TTO products with two new printhead sizes in the Videojet DataFlex 6530 and 6330 series.

The DataFlex 6530 107mm and 6330 32mm are part of the Videojet DataFlex TTO range, which is designed to give customers a more productive operation. These new Videojet printers embody the latest technology to help further improve uptime and drive productivity, quality and efficiency.

The DataFlex 6330 32mm comes with revolutionary Videojet iAssure™ technology, a feature also standard in its 53mm TTO sister models. This innovative technology is a built-in code quality checker that automatically checks for code quality and position and provides a warning when common code defects are detected. Users can then decide whether to stop the line to correct the fault, thus reducing the need to scrap or rework product. This allows operators to focus on other areas of the production line.

“Videojet iAssure™ technology helps our customers to reduce product waste and rework by automatically checking every code with no additional hardware, installation or training,” comments Heidi Wright, Business Unit Manager for Videojet Technologies. “When we researched and evaluated the customer requirements for an easy, cost effective code checking solution, we initially considered some form of traditional Vision System approach. When we took our thoughts back to the market as part of our VOC validation, customers told us that they wanted this capability to be integrated into the printer, with no additional setup requirements or adjustments because they have enough to consider without training their operators to be Vision experts. iAssure technology makes automatic code checking so simple. When a pre-set number of code defects are detected, it alerts operators by stopping the line or rejecting products with poor code quality. It also provides on-screen recommendations for production line adjustments that can help to improve the code quality. No other Thermal Transfer Overprinter in the market can do this.”

The Dataflex 6530 107mm & 6330 32mm printers are easy to integrate into typical production lines. Featuring a design that is modular and compact, they offer manufacturers and OEMs the flexibility to choose how they integrate the printer. The power supply can be placed with the controller or separated and mounted inside the packaging machine cabinet. Industry standard mounting features help to simplify installation and improve operator accessibility and interaction.

Manufacturers have also told us that they want fewer components exposed in a production environment, so these new printers have fewer cables and can also be controlled through the packaging machine’s web interface, eliminating the need for the Videojet controller. This enables manufacturers to have a single point of control for both the printer and the packaging machine.

Designed to withstand tough production lines, the DataFlex 6530 107mm and 6330 32mm are airless, all-electronic printers, eliminating the need for high-quality and expensive compressed air. The airless design feature helps to reduce operation costs, provide more precise control of the printhead movement, and increase throughput up to 25%. Operators no longer need to adjust the air pressure when trying to improve poor print quality, which can also increase the potential for premature head wear.

The DataFlex 6530 107mm and 6330 32mm printers also feature an industry-leading quick-change cassette that is designed to deliver both excellent ribbon efficiency and fast ribbon replacement, helping to maximize production uptime. With up to 1,200m ribbon capacity, manufacturers can achieve more throughput between ribbon changes.

“Our customers need solutions that deliver quick, simple and virtually error-proof operation. Now offering a wider variety of printhead sizes that incorporate industry-leading features, this TTO series, including the new 6530 107mm and 6330 32mm printers does just that”, says Wright.

Videojet Launches New Technology to Help Tobacco Plants Implement Codentify®

Purpose-built ‘Codentify^® Interface’ improves integration of Codentify^® solutions

Chicago, Illinois – March 23, 2015 – The 2014 EU Tobacco Products Directive and World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control traceability requirements are driving changes to the tobacco manufacturing process. As a result, the tobacco industry, as well as other businesses where illicit trade and counterfeiting goods is a problem, is increasingly adopting Codentify® as a solution for track and trace, product authentication and digital tax verification. Implementation can now be simplified with the help of the Videojet new Codentify® Interface, designed to improve integration and connectivity between digital printing technology and the required Codentify® Code Generator.

Implementing Codentify® requires sophisticated digital printing technology capable of meeting the high speed, high throughout performance needs of tobacco manufacturers, while producing machine readable serialization codes. Equally important is the ability to Integrate with tobacco OEM equipment and interface seamlessly with the customer’s Code Generator software. Anthony Blencowe, Business Unit Director at Videojet Technologies explains, “We have worked closely with a number of large tobacco manufacturers, as well as the major OEMs, to understand the challenges presented by implementing this new process into existing lines. As a result of this close collaboration, we have designed a product that helps deliver a simpler and more efficient CodentifyTM printing solution.”

The Videojet Codentify® Interface offers manufacturers greater flexibility for physical device connectivity and future software upgrade requirements by acting as a stand-alone module that connects the line printer to the Codentify® Code Generator. Until now, manufacturers have been forced to work with solutions where the Codentify® Code Generator must embed a specific driver to communicate according to the printer’s native protocol. This makes it more complicated to make any changes or updates to Codentify® related software or printer firmware as both supplier parties would need to be involved.

Manager of Technology Centre Codentify at Philip Morris International adds, “Laser coding systems can require a number of technical parameter adjustments based on line integration, product substrate and settings of the printer. The Codentify® Interface Module (CIM), inside the Videojet Codentify® Interface, efficiently solves these parameter setting issues by decoupling the Codentify® software and the printer systems. The CIM Template Editor allows a “pure” layout that is not polluted by the printer technicalities. This produces a consistent marking quality on every production line for each brand or layout change, without the intervention of an expert.”

The Videojet Codentify® interface also provides additional connectivity options to plug in visions system cameras, adding a critical step in code verification and further simplifying integration for the user.

Videojet can offer complete coding and serialization solutions throughout the entire tobacco line to help manufacturers meet industry track and trace compliance and help prevent counterfeiting. The Videojet CO2 laser range offer direct to pack marking using color change or ablation methods to guarantee non-removable, unique pack identification. The Videojet Ultra-High-Speed continuous inkjet printers feature Precision Ink DropTM Technology to print high contrast, quality Codentify® codes on packs or bundles, as well as 2D codes for enhanced traceability. The Videojet 9550 labelers, which feature Intelligent MotionTM technology, fulfil the final step in the aggregation process with high quality, machine readable barcodes for master cases.

Mario Bock, Global Strategic Director of Tobacco at Videojet concludes, “With virtually every industry being affected by the demand to track and trace products through the entire supply chain, Videojet Codentify® solutions are equipped not only for Tobacco, but also for Beverage, Pharmaceutical and Food Markets. The ability to consistently perform in high speed environments while connecting multiple devices to enable easy aggregation of individual products to pallets, allows all of our customers to use a solution that is compliance ready and available.”
