Lid punching machine with printer
We developed a lid punching machine with printer for a large medical company that wanted to punch and print small numbers of lids of different sizes. The machine perforates, prints, and punches lids and labels from rolls of Tyvek, medical paper or other material with a maximum diameter of 400 millimetres. Do you need a different format after a production run? Then simply adjust the machine. This machine is suitable for high-mix, low-volume production processes.

- Possible to use different lid materials
- Suitable for high-mix, low-volume
Here's how the Lid punching machine operates
The paper is fed into the thermal transfer printer via an unwinding unit, where a lot number and best-before date are printed onto it. This step does not happen if the colour sensor detects coloured tape. If it does, the machine doesn’t print anything.
The lid then passes under a camera which checks if the lids contain the correct data and material codes. This Optical Character Recognition (OCR) check recognises the text and, based on that, makes the decision to punch the lid. If necessary, the lid is also perforated. Lids then enter the warehouse.
If a lid has been rejected by the Vision System or has coloured tape used to stick various rolls together, it is not punched out but sent to the waste bin together with the remnants of the roll. This process is called Splice detection.
