New module from Paul Leibinger

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

The new Leibinger software features high storage capacity and an intuitive, user-friendly interface. A computer can be used to adapt the program

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.

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. Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co KG – Germany Website : www.leibinger-group.com

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

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 Euroalpha Srl – Italy Website : www.euroalpha.it

Euroalpha, 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 a manufacturer
