CHEIRON

FLEXIBILITY FOR MULTIPLE PROCESSES

The Cheiron is an automatic pad printing machine dedicated to the medical device industry. Because more positions (4-16) are available, more manufacturing processes can be incorporated in the machine. As such it cannot be seen as merely a pad printing machine. From assembly to packaging, everything is possible.

MACHINE SETUP

ROTA

The ROTA setup is used when the number of working stations is limited and it is important to have good accessibility to all parts of the machine. By placing the working stations outside of the product trajectory each module can easily be reached by hand during production.

LINO

The LINO setup is used to maximize the number of working stations. By placing it in a line it is possible to add feature after feature. This setup also allows great accessibility from all sides.

RING

The RING setup is used when production space is limited and machine design needs to be as compact as possible. By placing all working stations inside the product trajectory we save a lot of space, but it also makes it harder to access certain parts during production.
