In recent years some attempts to introduce a "fully automatic mounter" have been made, with some conflicting results: the technology is too expensive, the workflow is very complicated and rigid, the processes are delicate and vulnerable. In summary, while impressive in theory the technology does not really perform to the desire or expectations of the user.

We are glad to introduce the first real 4.0 plate mounter, based on SysTec's "Virtual Image" technology and experience.

The operative workflow of our machine is so easy with precision that the operation only requires the user to load the stack of plates on the loader... and that's it!

• Robotic pick & place system
• Latest generation smart cameras, have the ability to recognize any kind of reference or registration target on the plates: any pattern can become reference for the following plate, with the "Virtual Image" technology
• Siemens electronics, for the fastest and most precise and reliable operation

The operator places the stack of plates on the loading deck, inserts the sleeves on the mandrel, and that's all! The machine automatically provides the following steps:

• Automatic loading of the plate from the deck
• Automatic discharge of the separating sheets
• Automatic positioning of the plate on the sleeve
• Automatic research/recognition of the marks on the plate
• Automatic adjustment of the plate to the target position
• Automatic fixing of the plates on the sticky-back with the pressing roll

• It works with any kind of cross-marks, targets or patterns on new and old plates
• High mounting precision +/- 0.005 mm (0.00019”)
• Reduction of the time needed to mount the plates
• Elimination of the human error while mounting the plates
• NO conveyor belt for loading the plates, so the operator is not busy in loading them into the machine
• Jobs repeatability
• The most 4.0 advanced technology available on the market
• It works 24/7
• The fastest ROI for this kind of machine
