Easing entry into RFID/EAS

AB Graphic has developed the Omega 1600 RFID/EAS Converter system for label and packaging converters seeking to enter this growing market. The new system takes rolls of pre-printed self adhesive labels and integrates almost any type of electronic inlay in a sandwich between the label substrate and backing paper. It is then die cut and rewound to finished rolls or individual pieces.

The Omega 1600 RFID/EAS Converter comprises a 28in diameter unwind and de-lamination and re-lamination unit with a liner compensation system capable of accepting RFID, EAS and similar inlays. The lamination unit with carrier rewind configured for unwinding of RFID tags and rewinding of the static liner can also be used as a standard lamination module. A second lamination unit with carrier rewind provides for over-lamination of the web. Die cutting is achieved through a single rotary die base with matrix stripping and two die positions. The second die position can be supplied for sheet delivery.

The new line is completed by an Omega rewind module with nip roller drive, scissor slitting, cross-web adjustment and independ- ently driven pneumatic rewind mandrel including ‘labels in, labels out’ selection and a web advance arm for accurate placement of rewind cores.
