Why Automatic Intermittent Coders Work Best for Intermittent Motion Lines
In many industrial production environments, machines do not run continuously. Instead, they operate in a start-and-stop pattern known as intermittent motion. Printing accurate date codes, batch numbers, or MRP details on such lines can be challenging without the right equipment. This is where Automatic Intermittent Coders prove to be the most effective solution. Understanding Intermittent Motion Lines Intermittent motion lines are production systems where products or packaging materials move, stop briefly, and then move again. These lines are commonly found in packaging, sealing, and labeling operations. Common Applications of Intermittent Motion Form-fill-seal machines Vertical and horizontal packaging systems Pouch and sachet packing lines Cartoning and labeling machines Because the movement is not continuous, printing must be perfectly timed. Any mismatch between machine movement and printing can lead to smudging, misalignment, or unreadable codes. What Are Autom...
