The SV-360 finds its perfect use in terms of fully automatic impact numbering and coding on pre-printed
individual sheets and NCR form sets, event tickets, gift vouchers, certificates etc. but also on high-security
documents like bank drafts, cheques, schengen visa and other ID related documents.
Due to its modular construction, the machine can be extended by retrofitting with increasing demand with
further numbering and hologram heads as well as label dispensers, also at any later date. An optional paper
tractor system additionally allows the processing of continuous forms and sheet-fed on the same system.
Impact numbering and imprinting heads of the series Radus SU
In combination with the impact numbering heads of the SU series,
numberings in e.g. Gothic, CMC 7, E13B and OCR as well as barcode,
signatures and logos can be printed.
A printing head change is possible within minutes.
● SU1
Whenever simple numbering is required, the SU1 numbering head, proven
thousands of times in use, can demonstrate its performance. With the
extremely low printing costs, it is unrivalled in its field of application. Oil-
based stamping inks are used for printing on absorbent materials made
from paper. Used in combination with steel rotary numbering machines, the
controllable pressure setting of the SU printing heads provides easy crash
numbering of NCR form sets.
● SU2 / SU2-CRN
With the sophisticated letterpress inking unit, the SU2 numbering head is
an impressive direct development of the tried-and-tested SU1. This allows
the imprinting of high-quality Gothic and OCR numbering, as well as
barcode, in all types of document. Optionally, the numbering head SU2 is
also available as Computerized CRN variant. (Computer Random
Numbering)
● SU4
The SU4 numbering head was developed for impact numbering and coding
using special carbon ribbons. The ink on a carrier film is transferred cold,
directly to the paper, using pressure from the numbering unit. The
numbering head processes carbon ribbons for OCR and MICR numbering,
as well as black ribbons with additional security features, such as UV
fluorescence yellow / green and indelible red ink penetration - bleed
through. Replacing the rotary numbering machine with magnetic print
blocks enables the imprinting of signatures and logos.
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 x 650mm
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, 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 vakuum transport of the work station. Here, one or two SU heads can be used. The sheet
is moved under the numbering heads and stopped at the required position; numbering then takes place.
The operator selects whether one or both heads are used for numbering at the position. After numbering,
the sheet is moved to the next position. In this way, each sheet can be numbered in 25 freely-selectable
positions, e.g. for tickets, cheques or tax labels arrange d 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.
