ID Technology’s New Label Applicator Brings Enhanced Performance in a Small Package

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

ID Technology’s M2 Modular Label Applicator


FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB)

ID Technology, a product brand of ProMach, introduces the M2 Labeling Head, a new generation of the M-Series. The M2 is a modular wipe-on high-speed label applicator with faster performance, increased accuracy, and expanded capabilities, and it will be exhibited for the first time at Pack Expo 2019, September 23-25, in the Las Vegas Convention Center.

While providing a 4.3-inch color touchscreen HMI and new onboard controls, the M2 Labeling Head remains more compact than its competition. This allows for it to fit where other labelers can’t. The modular labeler can be mounted in any orientation to apply labels to the top, bottom, and sides of customer products or containers. The simple to use onboard HMI can be programmed to hold multiple recipes that can easily be recalled for rapid and repeatable product changeovers.

The M2’s flexibility allows it to be used as a standalone labeling head on a support stand, integrated into a host machine or as part of one of ID Technology’s comprehensive range of turn-key prime labeling systems. By using less parts, the M2 reduces the equipment’s complexity while saving time and money. A new label sensor bracket plate design accommodates both an ID Technology high-speed photoelectric label sensor as well as a high-speed ultrasonic transparent label sensor. It is a quick and easy swap between either sensor type. The M2 is also compatible with a broad range of date/lot coding technologies including, thermal transfer overprinters (TTO), inkjet coders, laser coders and other coding devices.

The M2 comes with many enhancements that allow this labeling head to run smoother than ever before. The M2 is powered by a new stepper motor with closed loop encoder and controls to enhance performance with continuous accuracy. The newly designed web drive offers several advantages including enhanced safety, better ergonomics, easy loading, increased grip, and lower inertia. An additional wiper has been added to provide better tension control of the liner as it travels through the labeler, and the new standard ball-bearing web rollers create less tension in the system. A newly developed and enhanced finishing brush assembly provides a cleaner and more durable brush, used for smoothing out each label.

The guarded nip drive assembly is standard and has been upgraded. Not only is it easier to open because of the protruding lever, the lever is also red, making an open nip more noticeable. Additionally, the new lever is more durable and requires less force to open. The M2 drive roller has better grip and is made of longer lasting material.

The M2’s durability, flexibility, and high-speed capabilities make this next generation model a superior label applicator. Check out the new M2 modular label applicator and many other innovative print, label, and coding solutions ID Technology has to offer at Pack Expo 2019, booth #C-3225. Or, find additional information online at http://www.IDTechnology.com.

Adalbert Czerny Award 2019 goes to Dr. med. Ferdinand Knieling for his work on using MSOT for diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Muscular Dystrophy

Leave a comment


We hope that multispectral optoacoustic imaging can be applied to many applications and can be used to enable safe evaluations of children and adolescents. With this new examination method, many of the currently invasive procedures might become obsolete, says Dr. Knieling


MUNICH (PRWEB)

Knieling’s work on a light- and sound-based imaging technique has been shown to have potential benefits for patients suffering from Crohn’s Disease and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. By detection of local changes in hemoglobin and collagen distribution, the technique promises to provide a fast and non-invasive method to visualize and quantify inflammation and fibrosis. The MSOT (Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography) imaging technology being used has been developed by iThera Medical GmbH, a biomedical device company based in Munich.

In optoacoustic imaging, the physician scans the region of interest through the skin, applying near-infrared, pulsed laser light. The light energy absorbed in tissue is converted into acoustic signals which are acquired by an ultrasound detector. Christian Wiest, CEO of iThera Medical GmbH, comments: “MSOT is an innovative and easy to use diagnostic imaging modality that can detect changes in tissue composition associated with a variety of diseases, without the use of contrast agents. The technology has already been applied in other clinical feasibility studies, e.g. for the detection of melanoma metastasis in sentinel lymph nodes or for the assessment of suspicious breast lesions”.

As a young scientist, Ferdinand Knieling has conducted light- and sound-based imaging in his clinical research projects and published his study results in high-ranking journals such as the New England Journal of Medicine. Having a strong background knowledge in the field of imaging, he says: “We hope that multispectral optoacoustic imaging can be applied to many applications and can be used to enable safe evaluations of children and adolescents. With this new examination method, many of the currently invasive procedures might become obsolete.”

Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association Releases Whitepaper on Pressure-Reducing Valves

Leave a comment


Understanding how pressure-reducing valves work and how they are regulated is key to keeping buildings safe. It will also help fire protection engineers and building owners select and adjust their PRVs, which is why the information contained in this newly released whitepaper is so valuable.


CLEVELAND (PRWEB)

Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association just released a new whitepaper entitled ‘The Ins & Outs of Pressure-Reducing Valves’. The non-profit trade association encourages building managers and fire protection engineers to download and read the whitepaper to learn more about PRV standards and operation instructions.

Most high-rise projects are required by regulations to have automatic sprinkler systems as well as standpipe systems for use by fire departments. In such buildings, installing pressure-reducing valves on each floor can ensure that the pump pressure on the lower floors does not exceed standards established by the National Fire Protection Association while still allowing the minimum acceptable pressure to the top floors. The whitepaper released by Fire Equipment Manufacturer’s Association spells out the requirements and standards for PRVs.

“Understanding how pressure-reducing valves work and how they are regulated is key to keeping buildings safe. It will also help fire protection engineers and building owners select and adjust their PRVs, which is why the information contained in this newly released whitepaper is so valuable,” said Jeff Saunders, president of Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association. The whitepaper is based on a previously-written article the association updated with current information and is being published with permission from the original author.

Building managers, fire protection engineers and other interested parties are invited to read, study and download the whitepaper at https://femalifesafety.org/prv-whitepaper.html. Additional information about Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association can be found at https://femalifesafety.org/.

About the Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association

The Fire Equipment Manufacturers’ Association is a more than 80-year-old international non-profit trade association dedicated to saving lives and protecting property by providing education of a balanced fire protection design.

Comfort Your V Naturally with Heating and Cooling ‘Private Packs’

Leave a comment


We give you choices - Hot or Cold Vulva Pads

Heating or Cooling Pick Your Pack

Private Packs intends to start the conversation about vulvovaginal self-care by first honoring vulvas in a natural, therapeutic way.


BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PRWEB)

Private Packs, an emerging women’s wellness company announces the launch of a set of natural, non-invasive heating and cooling pads used to soothe and comfort vulvas from myriad medical and beauty issues, or anytime a woman wants extra care of her vulva.

Women all over the world at one point have experienced vaginal discomfort, with as many as 14 million women in the United States experiencing chronic vulva pain as a result of vulvodynia. Rather than using bulky electric heating pads or shoving frozen vegetables down there, Private Packs is completely reimagining the outdated do-it-yourself solutions that women have been using for decades to get vulva relief. The brand’s food-grade therapy pads are wearable, discreet and reusable for life on-the-go.

“I created Private Packs for myself after a traumatic Brazilian wax. I then became a customer of my own product after stage three breast cancer treatment affected my vagina, which my doctors had not prepared me for,” said Suzanne Sinatra, founder, and chief executive officer of Private Packs. “Since it’s helped me so much I won’t stop until I get this product in the hands of women across the country. Women make up half of the global market and it’s high time we have an attractive alternative to vaginal discomfort.”

According to a March 2019 report from Frost & Sullivan, the Femtech industry is predicted to have a market potential of $50 billion by 2025 and will grow significantly as a result of continued innovation in the space.

“Private Packs addresses many vaginal issues women face, but having a reusable cooling pad that can be used immediately after childbirth for swelling and discomfort is a gamechanger for the approximately 90 percent of women who experience vaginal tearing,” said Dr. Kameelah Phillips, M.D. “Private Packs has integrated feedback from users and physicians to create a unique self-care experience for women unlike anything currently available on the market.”

Private Packs heating pads provide thermal therapy to relieve muscle pain/spasms, soreness, inflammation for relaxing relief. The cooling pads offer cryotherapy treatment that can reduce swelling, bruising, irritation and are refreshing. The products provide treatment options for women experiencing discomfort as a result of menstrual cramps, chronic infections, exercise soreness, post-surgery, pubic area hair removal, sexual activity or vaginal childbirth.

“Patients benefit from heat and ice to relieve their symptoms, so Private Packs is a great option for a variety of issues, but in particular, it fills the need for a non-medical alternative to pelvic floor pain and discomfort,” said Dr. Rachel Gelman, PT, DPT, Doctor of Physical Therapy and Pelvic Floor Specialist in San Francisco.

Private Packs launched today an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for additional inventory to meet the growing demand for its product. To learn more about the crowdfunding campaign, visit http://bit.ly/indiegogopp.
