Who's on First?

by Mike Terry
Global Sales Manager 

Abbott and Costello’s "Who’s on 1st, What’s on 2nd, and I Don’t Know is rounding third base" is a famous and humorous account of confused identity.

This type of misidentification is absolutely unacceptable in today’s dynamic environment. Whether you are a hospital or laboratory entrusted with the awesome responsibility of ensuring accurate and quality care for its patients, an electronics manufacturer tracking defects, or an automotive supplier managing your parts supply - bar coding increases accuracy by reducing the likelihood of human errors. Print quality is of utmost importance to ensure that the scanner has the ability to read the bar code, as without this capability the accuracy and productivity gains of bar code technology are virtually non-existent. Additionally, as today’s technologies continue to force subassemblies and components smaller, accuracy of bar code placement has become increasingly important. These powerful forces have joined to drive AccuPlace’s development efforts in a direction to meet these challenges our customers are facing. Combining our proven industry leading accurate placement technology you have come to rely on, revolutionary feeding improvements, with the optional capability to print labels on demand, we are proud to introduce the Ævo, the most capable and accurate machine of its kind. As we move forward, no doubt many of you will be contacted by us to share the exciting new benefits of our latest technology innovation. As we do, rest assured we are listening and counting on you, our customers, to continue challenging us to leap forward.

Why Rollerless Drive Technology Will Make Your Life Easier
   

Rollers are commonly used parts for the transportation of liners through applicator systems.
In combination with film adhesives other than labels, however, rollers come in touch with the film adhesive, and over time, may build up adhesives. This requires routine maintenance and roller cleaning.

The improved technology of AEvo is rollerless which increases the drive life cycle and  simplyfies routine maintenance. To see how this works, click here.
The Ævo Setup: How Easy is Easy?
  The machine setup can make or break the success of an applicator in a manufacturing environment. With all the flexibility and technology criteria considered during the machine purchase, on the floor it is the ease of machine operation and set up that decides on its success. In the development of AEvo, these factors have been particularly considered. To learn more about the latest features and benefits of AEvo, click here.
Learn All about Thermal Transfer Printing with Ævo
  Traceability of work-in-process through assembly, automated testing, and quality control; as well as lifetime product tracking and security authentication become more and more important in electronics or medical manufacturing. Applying bar code labels to your electronic products, components, and sub-assemblies serves this purpose; and thermal transfer printed labels offer a higher life time and environmental resistance than direct thermal printed labels. AEvo offers the option to print compact, high-quality bar codes, product information including Data Matrix, and other symbologies. All this is packaged in the smallest print & apply machine available. Learn more.
