Ampoule production line features

Modulating burners for tip forming are installed after the high-performance NOVIS Inspection System
Self-centering chucks, to guarantee quicker format change over time, and lower maintenance thanks to their improved durability
After-forming line, complete with cooling system, length, and concavity inspection system
Tear-off and glazing steam unit
Score break unit
Packaging line with an automatic turntable for five packing positions
Aspiration module to remove glass particles
Color ring unit dedicated to serigraphy, up to three rings
Cutting unit, OPC unit, and OPC check camera
Print unit and drying color unit

The automatic camera inspection system for dimensional controls allows the customer to constantly monitor the line performance and to reach the highest process efficiency ampoule color break
The electric rotational oven with a smaller footprint enables printing with precision from the bottom of the ampoule and to gain a higher product handling stability in comparison to traditional walking beams
The self-adjusting heat control system on the oven gathers information and automatically adjusts the heating elements for an ideal thermal curve
Our systems are designed to ensure quality, process stability, high output, and the control of each step of production, from tube loading to serigraphy
