Hapa redcube UV DOD printer – flexible, high-end marking solution

redcube is Hapa’s compact UV Drop on Demand (DOD) Piezo inkjet printer for high-end marking. It uses solvent-free UV curing inks to print serialized or randomized codes, texts, and photo-quality graphics in a single pass onto a wide range of lacquered or non-lacquered substrates or components. The print is abrasion, temperature, and moisture resistant.

The system prints vertically or horizontally, is easy to integrate into any packaging system, and quick to configure to any production process.

Applications

The redcube prints product-specific and market-specific text and data coding at a cost-effective price per unit. Easy to install, economical to maintain, and efficient to operate, the redcube solution is ideal for pharma manufacturers and packaging companies looking to implement or improve processes to meet five key requirements:

Anti-counterfeiting: the printing and marking of any level of packaging component in aid of the protection of an item’s authenticity.

Late Stage Customization: the redcube prints all text and graphics in a single pass, making it ideal to integrate into production processes using “white stock” or for finishing pre-produced packaging. Late Stage Customization production reduces line changeover and downtimes, lowers inventory costs, and waste.

Track & Trace: the printing of any level of packaging component in aid of tracking and tracing solutions, protecting not only end-users of products, but brand imaging.

Variable Data printing: the fully digital redcube achieves the highest barcode grading and small-marking footprint.

Real time packaging information: QR Codes and other data matrices are easily handled by a redcube. Pre-lacquering of substrates is not required, and the redcube can print more data in less space at high production speeds.

The print media can be hot, cold, rough, smooth, porous, non-porous, rigid or flexible. And the ultra-precise print heads use less ink, supporting larger print volumes per refill.

RC Control software

The integrated RC Control software suite supports the complete printing, marking and coding of functional workflows, including:

• Artwork creation
• Template management
• Print job control
• Collation and validation of print template components
• Management of streamed (or static) serialized and variable data
• Real time print image rendering
• Printing management and UV curing control

The user-friendly RC Control software interface complements the robust and durable redcube design to simplify and speed up installation, setup, maintenance and service.

Multiple networking/transmission protocols

The redcube uses multiple industry interfacing standards for maximum integration flexibility, supporting Modbus TCP, RCP high and low-level, FTP and HTTP (SOAP) for internet control.

This flexibility means redcube can be integrated anywhere within your packaging and printing process, from running as a standalone system to being fully integrated within an ERP, track & trace, visioning or line management system.
