Optel Vision has launched the Flying CartonTracker™, a standalone unit allowing carton printing and inspection with the ability to reject any single carton on the fly. Gripping the carton from the top, this unit is installed over an existing line without cutting or modifying the line layout.

The system can handle a wide range of carton sizes with speeds up to 400 cartons/min. The unit can be either mobile or fixed into position and integrated just after a cartoner or at the end of the production line. It can be fed automatically or manually by operators.

The Flying CartonTracker minimizes downtime by quickly integrating into any installation. Changeovers are fast with only two simple adjustments. The ability to run a large range of carton sizes increases the line agility between various products.

Cartons are printed and inspected in a continuous motion without stopping the item. A camera ensures printed information is of good quality; if not the product is retained and rejected at the top of the machine. The Flying CartonTracker can perform other inspections, such as dimensional measurement of the item, verification of preprinted information, or barcode grading.
