On-Time Registration (OTR) Print Registration for Shrink Wrappers (Discontinued)

⚠️ Editor's Note: This product has been discontinued. This page is for reference only.

Lantech takes complexity and cost out of print registration for shrink-wrapped packages with its new On-Time Registration (OTR) system. OTR hits the mark with accuracy and low cost, registering every package without the need for sophisticated electromechanical components, such as speed variators.

The system costs less than $2,000 and is available as an OEM option or retrofit for all Lantech shrink packaging systems, including side-seal, lap seal, continuous-motion and intermittent motion machines.

On-Time Registration provides exceptional accuracy for each package by eliminating the need to match product position with a film registration mark "on the fly."

"Traditional systems sense the film dot and the respective position of the package, then try to vary the speed of each to achieve registration," explains Bruce Campbell, Shrink Systems Product Manager for Lantech. "On-Time Registration works by first sensing the mark on the film, and then quickly indexing the package into position. This process is repeated for each package, so there's no cumulative error. OTR eliminates the need for special control logic, algorithms, multiple sensors, and electromechanical complexity."
