Pouch Edge Detection

Using a laser sensor, the Packaging Answer automatically detects and locates the top edge of each pouch as it is removed from the magazine. This operation ensures that all functions of the machine are repeatable and justified from the top edge of each pouch. This allows the operator to load the magazine quickly without having to worry about precise pouch placement, zipper closures aligning, or having to make constant adjustments to subsystems. By locating each top edge, the system automatically ensures that every label and seal location remains consistent from pouch to pouch.
