Hologram Applicator /
Application Machine
RADUS CFS-610
Smart and Innovative Solutions - since 1964
The base version of CFS-610 hologram applicator with the hologram
hot stamping head HP3 covers all requirements in terms of hologram
application on pre-printed continuous forms like business forms,
computer forms, event tickets, gift vouchers, certificates etc. but also
on high-security documents like bank drafts, cheques, visa and other
ID related documents.
Due to its modular construction, the machine can be extended by
retrofitting with increasing demand up to four hologram application
heads, also at a later date. This enables the processing of 4 web-lines
across simultaneously.
HP3 hot stamping hologram applicator
The HP3 hologram application head contains the 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 paper 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 is able to apply registered holograms, random pattern
holograms and hot foil logos up to a size of 900mm², further each
stamping tool can be addressed separately. In addition the powerful
HP3 stamping unit is also suitable for applying of scratch-off foils.
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. To compensate
the common hologram foil manufacturing image distance tolerances,
the HP3 is equipped with diffraction mark detection directly on the
active stamping die to ensure exact image positioning. After mark
detection „on the fly“, the foil with the holographic image is positioned
using electronics only (Resolution 0.01mm); 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 touch display - even during
ongoing stamping operation.
Tractor system
The tractor system processes fanfold continuous forms up to a width of
23” including sprocket-holes and operates in the base from pack to
pack. Depending on the application, the system can be operated via
contactless loop switches directly with un- and rewinding units. The
processor-controlled system with its two well dimensioned tractors
provides a regular paper transport and guidance of the web. The
adjustable processing speed of the web allows an
individual adaptation to the paper quality. Short distances between
tractor system and printing station ensure less paper waste in the
machine setup.
Operating process
By the tractors the web is moved to the work station. Here, one or two
HP3 hot stamping hologram heads can be used. The form is stopped
under the hologram heads at the required position; stamping then takes
place. The operator selects whether one or both heads are used for
stamping at the position. After hologram application, the form is moved
to the next position. In this way, each form can be stamped in 25 freely-
selectable positions, e.g. for tickets, tax labels or cheques arranged
one above the other. The completed form is passed to the adjustable
delivery.
Options
If necessary, further work stations can be retrofitted. Here too, one or
two HP3 hot-stamping hologram application heads or SU numbering
heads can be used. With up to four hologram application heads, even
smaller product sizes at forms such as tickets or small tax labels can
be processed with up to four lines across the web.
