Lid punching machine

We developed a Lid punching machine for a leading medical company which needed to punch and print lids in small quantities and various sizes. This versatile machine is capable of punching, printing, and die-cutting lids and labels from rolls of Tyvek, medical paper or other material with a maximum diameter of 400 millimetres. Moreover, the machine can easily be adapted to specific size requirements, making it a perfect choice for high-mix, low-volume production.

Ideal for high-mix, low-volume
Versatile: punching, perforating, and printing
Suitable for different materials

How does the lid punching machine work?

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.
