PAUL Leibinger has added another
module to its Winjet3 software for
controlling multiple Jet3 inkjet printers.
‘Winjet3 XY’ is used to mark and code
product ranges quickly and easily on a
gantry system.
This ensures a more efficient and
cost-effective production process.
Thanks to variable input fields, the
module can be adapted to meet a
variety of customer
requirements.
The new Winjet3 XY software
module enables cost-efficient
marking and coding of a wide
variety of products in a gantry
system. Before every new
print job, Winjet3 XY
automatically calculates the
optimum travel path on the
specific gantry system in
seconds, and the labelling
path with the shortest
processing time is
automatically selected.
During the printing process,
the software precisely
controls the print head
situated on the labelling axis
as it moves across the
imprinted products. This makes it
possible to mark and code materials
such as boards, components or
packaging with multiple uses quickly
and easily from left to right and top to
bottom.
The new Leibinger software features
high storage capacity and an intuitive,
user-friendly interface. A computer can
be used to adapt the program
effortlessly to new product ranges
through the use of variable input
fields. Parameters like packaging units
per carton, number of products in the
batch and assignment of products
can be selected from a drop-down
menu or entered in clearly arranged
text fields.
Printing and production progress are
both specified in numbers as a
percentage but also illustrated
in a continuous bar graph. A
second counter indicates how
many products have already
been imprinted. This allows
you to monitor the printing or
production progress from the
comfort of a PC.
The Winjet3 XY software
module is compatible with
Leibinger Jet3 series inkjet
printers. The Jetmotion works
well as a portal axis and can
now move not only vertically,
but also horizontally in
combination.

Euroalpha, a manufacturer of
limited-slip drawing machines for
non-ferrous wires, has introduced a
new high-end top-performance
bunching machine.
The main supply for electrics in the
cradle is self-generated directly into
the cradle.
Thanks to such special ‘patented’
system critical collector/brushes,
devices are no longer required, thus
enhancing the machine’s reliability.
The B630-F, a ‘patented’ four-twist
version, gives almost double
productivity compared to the
conventional double-twist bunchers,
as well as reduced energy
consumption due to the slow RPM.
The benefits include:
• Heavy mechanical construction
with ‘closed’ frame for extremely
low vibration
• Collectors-free design, with
self-generation of the main voltage
supply into the cradle (‘patented’)
• Radio transmission of the control
signal into the cradle
• PLC control
• Carbon fibre bows with special
aerodynamic profile
• Haul-off capstan with separate
motor drive, for stepless
adjustment of the winding pitch
• Precise electronic control of the
winding tension by load-cell
• Automatic adjustment of the
traverse stroke
• Reels loading/downloading system
directly from/to the walkway
outside from the sound-proof
cabinet, by means of pneumatic
ejector
The line can be completed with a wide
range of precision motor-driven SVM
pay-offs. This includes:
• AC motor drive of the reel under
inverter control
• Motor’s bi-directional drive to
guarantee the proper tension to the
wire, even when starting the
machine
• Reel’s direct drive through
gear-reducer without transmission
belt
• High-precision pneumatic dancer
for wire tension control
• Wire separation by ceramic eyelets
• Available in single and twin reel
execution
