Intermec Brings Out PA30 Rugged Print and Apply Label Engine
(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge)
Intermec is shipping the new PA30 high-performance applicator print
engine designed to increase label productivity and placement accuracy
in demanding print and apply applications. The automated print and
apply process -- where a label is printed or encoded, verified and then
automatically applied -- significantly increases efficiency in high
volume applications.
"Automated print and apply of bar code labels has long made economic
sense for larger companies applying labels to products and cartons. The
faster and more accurately the labels are applied, the more efficient
the operation," said PCM Image-Tek Sales Director Pat Walker. "Now with
the increased application speed and repeatability of placement offered
by the PA30, companies can upgrade to print and apply and realize
significant labor savings."
The rugged, metal PA30 includes an extra input/output receptacle and
can execute user-defined programs, thereby eliminating the need for and
extra expense of a PC. Flexible connectivity enables the use of up to
seven wired and wireless interfaces simultaneously, allowing the PA30
to issue commands to production line machinery, conveyors, and other
printers and access information directly from the network host.
The printer applicator engine is fully programmable and easily adapts
to new host environments and applications. Powerful, individually
controlled micro-step motors, a high-capacity power supply and
sophisticated thermal management print head ensure high-quality label
production at up to 12 inches-per-second.
Based on PX printer technology, the PA30 features a four-inch print
width with left hand orientation and the widely used five bolt mounting
pattern. The printer applicator engine is available with
interchangeable 203 or 300 dpi resolution print heads.
Intermec develops, manufactures and integrates technologies that
identify, track and manage supply chain assets. Core technologies
include RFID, mobile computing and data collection systems, bar code
printers and label media.
