Eidos, code printers

Eidos (HALL 5 - BOOTH 5G02) and its full range of industrial code printers for packaging and manufacturing will be attending Interpack 2014. For directly printing on film the large Swing family is peerless. There are specific models for all types of packaging machines, of the continuous or intermittent type. The Swing 2ie is known for its rugged construction and the Swing 2ce is characterised by a remarkably fast printing capacity (up to no less than 350 prints a minute). The Swing X series machines, for large areas in multi-track and multi-pass configurations (printing dimensions up to 520x128 mm), are perfect for heat-shrink packing and capping machines and solve all the problems of old mechanical code printers. For labelling needs, Eidos suggests a Printess print & apply machine. The most recent model - the Printess 8 - prints and applies giant A4 size labels. Very few automatic line industrial printer manufacturers can compete. The Printess is a modular, integrated system which uses interchangeable applicators. With so many standardised applications, it can be said that the Printess range can print in any condition. Other devices which will be on display at the event will be the Wedge applicator designed for labelling cardboard trays, and the Blow, characterised by a very high production rate. Visitors will also be able to watch the Coditherm digital printer for printing codes directly on objects in action. This machine is unique and employs a very sophisticated printing method. Like all Eidos products, it implements thermal transfer technology and is suitable for all types of manufacturing needs, given its accessible cost. The new model showcased here will have an infrared heating transfer head. The Coditherm can change data even at every pass, making it perfect for small items, plastic containers, small batches and samples.
