HELIX CC

The new age of code capturing during counting

In high-security printing, it has long been necessary to track the individual sheets from the paper machine to the blank cut without interruption. This tracking should make it possible to obtain information about the status of each individual sheet at any time, especially in the production of banknotes or tax stamps.

Until now, there was no efficient solution that allowed sheet tracking in the ream. It was necessary to separate and restack the sheets, which led to a significant slowdown in the process.

With the introduction of our Helix CC system, this has changed.

Helix CC now makes it possible to read a code printed on the edge of a sheet during the necessary physical counting of a ream without significantly reducing the speed of the process. For the first time, seamless tracking of the sheet throughout the entire production process is guaranteed.

Helix CC can be used wherever reams are already being counted. No additional process is required, the sheets are tracked in the same process step.

Benefits

This system will allow a code printed on the edge of a sheet to be:

  • Camera captured

  • Interpreted
  • IT processed

Capture takes place during the counting of a ream:

  • No more sheet separation

  • No more destacking and restacking

  • Significant reduction in process time

Features 

System:

The Helix CC core system consists of the Helix disc and the code reader.

Code reader:

The programme interface allows easy configuration of code types, backgrounds and print colours.

Function:

The code reader moves parallel to the counting disc, thus always guaranteeing the optimum reading range. The wide reading range covers any possible print offset of the code field.

Dimensions:

Thanks to its compact design, which does not require a larger installation space than conventional counting heads, Helix CC can also be used in inline production lines.

Flexibility:

Helix CC can also be used outside of high-security printing for tracking printed products, e.g. in photo book printing, pharmaceutical packaging and much more.
