Hologram Applicator / Application Machine

RADUS SV-360

The SV-360 hologram applicator with the hologram hot stamping head HP3 covers all requirements in terms of hologram application on individual sheets such as tickets, gift vouchers, certificates, bank drafts, cheques, etc. as well as on high security documents like visa-sticker and other ID related documents made of paper. Due to its modular construction, the machine can be extended by retrofitting with increasing demand up to eight hologram hot stamping application heads across, e.g. for small tickets and tax labels. An optional tractor system (Pinless / Pinfeed) additionally allows the processing of continuous forms like business forms, computer forms and individual sheets on the same system. HP3 hot stamping hologram applicator The HP3 hologram application head contains the hot stamping press with the replaceable stamping die and the associated fine adjustment as well as the foil feed. In this way, the complete hologram application system can be moved across the sheet direction of run in a quick adjustment for positioning. There is no complex conversion of the stamping die or tracking of the foil; jobs can be set-up in shortest time. The hologram embossing unit work electronically / pneumatically and are monitored by the machine's process control. Because of its high flexibility the HP3 applicator is able to apply registered holograms, random pattern holographic foils and hot foil logos up to a size of 1300mm², further each hot stamping tool can be addressed separately. Print mark recognition with unique „on the fly“ image positioning A multistage tension control in the hologram hot foil track and an accurate guidance guarantee precise hologram feed. After registration mark detection „on the fly“, direct at the hot stamping die, the foil with the holographic image is positioned using electronics only (Resolution 0.05mm); there is no need for the time consuming manual fine adjustment of the photocells for image positioning. The image position of the hot foil hologram under the stamping die can be easily adjusted via the display - even during ongoing stamping operation. Feeding systems Various feeder and delivery systems are available, tailored to the production volumes. A vacuum rotation feeder unit is used for small to medium press runs, which pulls sheets in formats of up to 520mm width from below. The magazine capacity is naturally limited in this case but the feeder can be refilled whilst the machine is running. The processed sheets are delivered into a suitable jogger. The accurately stacked sheets can be removed during operation for further finishing. Autonomous times Pile feeders and pile delivery systems can be used for large press runs and for long periods of autonomous operation; these are equipped with electrically driven stacker platforms that can be raised and lowered, each with a magazine capacity of 650 mm. Due to their maximum paper format of 520mm x 750mm, these also support the classic B2 sheets. Like the system's upgrade facility, allowing it to use up to eight hologram hot stamping heads, the pile feeder and pile delivery can also be retrofitted at any time. Operating process After sheet separation with double-sheet inspection, the sheet is drawn to a zero line in an aligning station and passed to the vacuum transport of the work station. One or two HP3 hot foil hologram stamping heads can be used in the work station. The sheet is moved under the hologram applicator heads and stopped at the required position; hologram application then takes place. The operator selects whether one or both hologram application heads are used for stamping at the position. After stamping, the sheet is moved to the next position. In this way, each sheet can be stamped in freely-selectable positions, e.g. for cheques, tickets and labels arranged one above the other. The completed sheets are passed to the stacker; during this time a new sheet arrives at the work station ready aligned in order to guarantee continuous production. Options If necessary, further work stations can be retrofitted. Here too, one or two HP3 hot-stamping hologram heads can be used. Then, with up to eight hologram application heads, even smaller product sizes at individual sheets such as tickets or small tax labels can be processed with up to eight lines across the sheet. To support the flexibility of the modern security printer, a paper tractor system (Pinless / Pinfeed) can be attached for processing continuous forms. The operator can change between individual sheets and continuous forms transport, and this only takes a few minutes.
