WSI offers braille embossing capabilities

Published: 20-Jun-2017

WSI’s braille embossing capabilities are ideal for meeting European pharmaceutical industry packaging regulations, requiring braille to identify package contents

WSI Global, a manufacturer of finishing equipment for the carton converting, liquid packaging, and corrugated industries, now offers braille capabilities, using either the TaskMaster in-feed system or a standalone unit which can be integrated into nearly any folder gluer.

Using the TaskMaster in-feed system with braille module: cartons are fed, aligned, embossed, and transferred to the folder gluer. All in one operation, at up to 1000 ft per minute.

This space saving unit can either run offline or be put directly in front of an existing folder gluer, keeping labour and set up times to a minimum.

The braille plate-making kit is a completely integrated, freestanding plate-making station with a roll around design that makes it totally portable.

New plates take about 3 minutes to make and plate cost is extremely low compared to competitive systems.

The lockable cabinet design keeps pre-approved set-ups under complete control and neatly stores all plate-making components.

Plates are easy to change: one screw releases the plate and a new one can be installed instantly. Plates are also re-usable and made from simple, easy to obtain materials.

The braille module is built to CE standards and is made of heavy duty tubular steel welded 'T' frame with high structural rigidity. A vacuum-assisted timed multi-belt feeder ensures feeding of all types of stock is accurate.
