Clipper tea bags another four linx printers
F
airtrade tea manufacturer Clipper Tea has installed four more printers from coding and marking specialist Linx Printing Technologies. Clipper says it chose the Linx 7300 Continuous Ink Jet (CIJ) printers due to their low cost, ease of use, minimised downtime and extensive features including a USB backup facility. Clipper used Linx Printing Technologies’ CompleteCode leasing method, which covers all costs within one easy
monthly payment. It brings to eight the total number of Linx printers operated by Clipper. The Linx printers are being used to print ‘Best Before End’ dates and traceability codes, for internal use, onto cardboard boxes containing Clipper’s range of Fair Trade and organic tea bags. Linx Black fast-drying 1240 ink is being used and the production line operates eight hours a day, five days a week for 50 weeks of the year. Steve Norris, Engineering and Maintenance Manager for Clipper at Beaminster, Dorset, adds: “Reliability, cost and after sales support were the biggest factors for choosing Linx again, when we were reviewing our current printer needs. ”We are a Fairtrade company and we believe in forming lasting relationships with suppliers.”

New corrugated products venture
chooses Mosca strapping machines
venture, to be known as eCorrugated Ltd, offering high volume glued cases with multi-print and die cut capability, manufactured on market leading case-making technology. In excess of £1.2m has been invested in the first phase of the eCorrugated business in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, including purchasing a Mosca MCB-2 bundle strapping machine and a Mosca KCK-121 pallet strapping machine. The Mosca MCB-2 fully automatic inline strapping machine offers fast, automated setup and job changes, giving extremely high process reliability at up to 27 inline bundles per minute with standard machine grade 5mm PP straps. Incorporating an integrated squaring device, smooth bundle control and low maintenance is achieved by using the latest in brushless DC technology. The Mosca KCK-121 pallet press features an integrated turn-cross for four-way strapping and a programmable compression ratio and can strap pallets in excess of 2m wide.

New low cost embeddable accelerometers
CB Piezotronics, a world leader in vibration, acoustic, pressure, force and torque sensors, has launched a new range of low cost miniature accelerometers that can be embedded into a wide variety of high volume and commercial applications such as shock and impact detection of circuit boards or components. The new 660 series offers high specification measurements from a low cost accelerometer housed in a flexible industry-standard package. The unique sensors are housed in TO-5 or TO-8 transistor cans to give the end-user a choice of installing the sensor directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB) or to use via flying leads embedded into a system. With low initial costs and multiple price breaks for volume orders, the 660 series offers an ideal solution for manufacturers wishing to incorporate high specification vibration measurements into their products.
P The range
includes a choice of charge mode, ICP® and voltage mode outputs with an optional four-wire device with temperature output. Covering frequency ranges from 0.4 to 10kHz (±3dB) and amplitude levels up to 500g, the 660 series offers a solution for a wide array of applications.
