Update Kits
(Partial List)
RFID-Enabled Upgrades:
RFID compliance does not always require a new label head.
Gen 2 RFID Upgrade Kits are available to add RFID compatibility to your existing Accraply printer/applicator or Accraply labeling head and at a much lower cost. RFID upgrade kits are available for any degree of sophistication for read, read/write, verification and eject applications. Middleware is capable of integration with your existing production or warehouse tracking systems. Kits can be field installed by our qualified technicians. Download the RFID brochures for further information.
Registration and Performance Improvements:
Upgrades of Obsolete Applicator Electronics and Applicator Drive Systems Available upgrades of clutch/brake drive label applicators offer extremely accurate labeling and reliable operation in the most demanding continuous duty applications. The unique Accraply Microstep Indexing Drives provide extremely accurate label registration performance and eliminate the normal maintenance associated with conventional clutch and brake type applicator drives. The Microstep Applicator is easy to setup, operate, and maintain which maximizes production and minimizes downtime.
Upgrades to the new Accraply Microstep Indexing Drives are easily installed in your facility by Accraply's factory service technicians in a matter of a few days. Available products include:
-
750 Watt Speed Following S-Series; with or without Variable Speed Conveyor Option
-
750 Watt Speed Command S-Series
-
325 Watt Speed Command E-Series
-
Applicator Controls Upgrades: 35S Series and 35E Series
Label Sensing Upgrades The label sensor determines stop position of each label's dispense cycle. Replacement of obsolete label sensors are available, as are sensors to improve labeling performance and to allow the use of clear-film labels without the need to have pre-printed registration marks. Available upgrades include:
-
Capacitive Clear Film Label Sensor for non-contact sensing of clear film and paper labels at very high speeds.
-
Mechanical Clear Film Label Sensor for contact sensing of clear film and paper labels at an economical price.
-
Self-Teaching Photoelectric Label Sensor for replacement of obsolete label sensors with the additional ease-of-use feature of automatic press-to-set sensitivity adjustments.
-
Fiber Optic Photoelectric Label Sensor for replacement of obsolete label sensors with the requirement to use fiber optics. Can also be used to provide peeler plate mounted sensing to sense the first-staged label's position.
Print Engine Upgrades Accraply offers print engine upgrades for print and apply labelers manufactured by Avery Dennison, CCL, and Accraply. These upgrades offer the latest in thermal transfer printing technology; are an easy way to add new capabilities or improve printing performance; and depending on the application, provide lower consumables costs through ribbon savings and the use of smaller inter-label gaps.
Accraply's upgrade kits have been designed for installation in your existing frame without modification to the control system or label applicator. For added convenience, Accraply service department can install and train your personnel on the use of your new print engine.
Product Container Sensing Upgrades The product sensor determines start position of each label's dispense cycle by determining the exact position of a container about to be labeled. Replacement of obsolete product sensors are available, as are sensors to improve labeling performance including on ultra-clear containers.
Roll Label Supply Upgrades
-
Increased Diameter Capacity Supply Reels for the use of larger label rolls, requiring fewer label roll changes. Multiple supply reels for convenience.
-
Powered Unwind Supply Reels for difficult materials and performance improvements at higher dispense speeds.
-
Vertical Dual Unwind Supply Reels - floor-mounted assembly intended for the use of very large label rolls with convenient dual-roll capability and splice assistance features.
Conveyor Extensions, Quick-Adjust Guiderails, and Turning Dials Extension kits for lengthening the infeed or outfeed conveyors. Updated guiderail materials and mounts allowing scale-assisted set-up changes without tools for faster changeovers. Rotary dials for infeed or outfeed transfers at 90 degree angles.
Overhead Stabilizer with Flexible Finger Backup Overhead stabilizer belt assemblies with individually-sprung overlapping backup construction, allowing for accommodation of product height variation without foam-covered belts.
Conveyor Upgrade: Chain to Hinge Conversion of snap-on platetop conveyor on chain to precision ground hinged-pin platetop. Smaller gaps between platetop provides improved stability in the upright position of very small diameter product containers.
PLC (Programmable Logic Control) Upgrades and Custom Programming:
Inspection Systems Upgrades
-
Missing Imprint Detection: Economical system to sense the presence of an imprint on each label.
-
Missing Label Detection: Systems to sense the presence of a label on each product container.
-
Bar Code Verification: Systems to compare the presence of a correct bar code on each label and/or product container.
-
Track to Eject: Systems to track the results of any inspections to the product and label, verifiably ejecting any not meeting established criteria.
