H-BEAM
MARKING STATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Main advantages
This equipment is intended to mark beams using ink-jet
technology as they exit the straightening process.
High visibility
The equipment is based on a “retractile pneumatic moving
device” for the single or double straightening machine.
High flexibility regarding the marking content due
to ink-jet digital programing
A different mechanical design is used for multiple beam
straighteners.
Fast writing at the straightening process
The equipment includes all mechanical and electrical
protections to be installed into the factory’s security plan.
The equipment is designed to be integrated on the
factory’s PLC network to work on an automatic way with
remote access.
The equipment is designed to work on a non-attended
way, except for the recommended preventive maintenance
operations.
Low maintenance
High reliability due to a heavy duty construction
Reduces traceability risks of fallen labels
Increase of Overall Equipment Availability (OEA)
Decrease of TBF
