Custom High-Speed Label Printer
Design Challenge:
A large corporation needed a high-speed thermal label printer capable of printing and applying labels of varying lengths from up to 1″ by 2″ at a maximum rate of 8 per second. It had to mechanically function and fit into an already existing system.
- The printer needed to be capable of dynamic throttling of the print system.
- The Cybertech design staff worked closely with our customer’s mechanical, electrical and software design team.
- Mechanically, we came up with a package that would integrate and mount on to their existing applicator whose operation would be transparent. Cybertech utilized a mechanical accumulator design to cope with the asynchronous nature of the print and apply system.
- On the electronic side, we built a custom controller that would accommodate a print rate of 10+ inches per second, maintain constant print quality, and configure with their hosting software.
- This was all completed under our roof, from the mechanical design and drawings, electronic schematics, printed circuit board layout, and all printer software.
- We produced the machined and sheet metal parts and built and tested the PC boards.
Filling System
Design Challenge:
To operate up to five pumps, valves and a conveyor utilizing stepper motors with adjustable acceleration, multiple speeds and run currents. To run from one to three motors concurrently. To have multiple inputs that may be active-true either by being sourced to 24 volts DC or pulled to ground (PLC compatible). Each stepper motor has a home and limit sensor whose polarity can be programmed and use low cost reflective or opacity optical sensors. The controller interfaces with a touch screen via a serial port and have down loadable run parameters either via USB or a serial interface.
- The goal was to eliminate what would be a costly PLC system with a cost effective single board solution.
- Cybertech developed a motor control language to allow the controller to stand alone or run in a direct mode, where direct mode allows commands and status via a host device.
- We also write custom programs tailored to your requirements for less then you might think. Contact us and let Cybertech work with you to come up with a cost effective solution. We would be happy to supply more case examples upon request.
