The modular design of the TQS-MD series offers various combinations of product-specific quality control solutions, including weighing, labeling and inspection, marking, metal detection, and serialization/aggregation.
WIPOTEC-OCS, http://www.wipotec-ocs.com/us/, a leading manufacturer and supplier of high-precision weigh-in-motion, track and trace/anti-counterfeiting solutions and X-ray scanning equipment, will introduce a new line of modules Optimized Quality Control Machines . The new modular design of the Traceable Quality System (TQS-MD) uses the concept of “building blocks” to ensure compatibility with an extremely wide range of products.
The inherent modular concept of the TQS-MD makes it extremely adaptable. Depending on the size, shape, weight and required throughput of the product, WIPOTEC-OCS can simply combine the appropriate modules into a customized solution for specific needs.
Centralized control is the cornerstone of the new WIPOTEC-OCS range. No matter how many features a TQS-MD model needs – a long list including weighing, marking and checking, marking, metal detection and serialization/aggregation integration – the device provides a user interface. This makes product changes, article customizations, and layout changes less error-prone and more user-friendly. The “one system, many functions” approach also has advantages in terms of usability in a complex supply chain environment: 85% of WIPOTEC-OCS components are manufactured in-house, which not only ensures exemplary quality standards, but also the shortest delivery times.
As the name suggests, the TQS-MD series can include various configurations. Typically used to print expiration dates, lot codes or lot numbers on boxes, a popular base unit for labeling, checking and weighing products with a footprint of just one meter and can be upgraded for full serialization.
Another TQS-MD food machine weighs, labels and checks for metallic foreign objects in one step. By adapting the product handling module to a larger size, the TQS-MD can also be adapted to handle larger boxes such as shipping boxes. Since such cases generally entail unit-level information for serialization, aggregation or shipping, a track & trace module is also usually engaged in these instances. Since such cases generally entail unit-level information for serialization, aggregation or shipping, a track & trace module is also usually engaged in these instances. Because such cases typically require unit-level information for serialization, aggregation, or delivery, the tracking and tracing module is also commonly used in these cases. Because such cases often require unit-level information for serialization, aggregation, or delivery, a tracking module is also often used in these cases.
As with other WIPOTEC weighing solutions, all TQS-MD models with weighing stations are equipped with the company’s high-tech electromagnetic force recovery (EMFR) load cells, a differentiated design that ensures accurate weighing results.
The new flow sealer features Allen-Bradley servo technology with 5700 Kinetix drive and VPF servo motor, PanelView Plus 7 1500 touch screen, easy to clean hygienic design, quick change and is capable of operating at speeds up to 1200 ppm. minute.
