Addressing Module
The Domino Editor GT meets the needs for addressing and personalization in applications including off/in-line mail table, bindery envelope/inserter and wrapping production lines, and also offers a range of additional options and upgrades in order to meet more advanced requirements.
Database Management
Data files can be received from all commonly available database software packages, including standard ASCII data in both fixed length or comma separated formats. Simple vision tools help guide the operator through formatting and then confirming the data configuration prior to printing.
Mail Sort Control
Options include feeder inhibit, conveyor surge or kicker and stacker control. Stacker control includes options for:
- Bundles compensation
- Slow down
- Reorder
- Divert
Standard interfaces are available for all leading stacker manufacturers, or the control tools of the controller can be used. When a product is diverted, a line stop can be generated, automatically reorder the replacement as a residue or reorder at the end of the production run.
Multi-position Printing
A product can be tracked over multiple product transport / belt sections with backlash compensation, enabling matching in-line printing in multiple positions for applications such as inside /outside printing on bindery lines.
Selective Control
The controller can provide selective feeder control for insert and signature feeders. This enables a custom product to be produced based on demographic data held within the data file. There are interfaces for a number of leading bindery and wrapping line equipment suppliers.
Camera Matching
The controller can integrate in-line with industry standard barcode, 2D, OCR or RFID readers providing a read, lookup and print functions as well as read and verify. Applications include complete re-confirmation of production integrity and pre-personalized item matching such as on-setting a plastic card with ink jet personalization and on a carrier sheet.
