Spartanics, manufacturer of advanced laser die cutting machines, has integrated new bar codes in its Finecut laser die cutting systems. The bar code additions in the laser systems enable faster line speeds and quick job changeovers on-the-fly.
The bar code software integration in the Finecut laser die cutting systems provides an auto save of multiple job conditions for single-step job arrangements, and automatic stitch and cut of large-sized images. In addition, the bar codes also provide smart stop systems for fault condition monitoring and auto optimization of cutting sequences to allow quicker web speeds.
The combination rotary plus laser, combination roll/sheet, roll and sheet of the Finecut laser die cutting systems are utilized in various applications such as labels, gaskets, industrial textile applications, flexible circuits, P-O-P display products, RFID tags, novelty magnets, paperboard and cardstock products and membrane switches.
The Vice President of Spartanics, Mike Bacon, stated that the job-changeovers enable efficient operations of multiple tasks from a single roll and allow job data integration in a database for product tracking. He added that the bar code integration in the laser-based die cutting systems will further improve the benefits of the digital die cutting products.
