JM Heaford introduces Label AutoMounter to the US market

UK-based JM Heaford introduces its Label AutoMounter product to the US market at Labelexpo Americas 2018.

Label AutoMounter is part of a selection of scalable mounting options

Label AutoMounter, launched at Labelexpo Europe 2017, takes less than one minute to mount any plate. It has a maximum cylinder/sleeve width of 700mm (27.5in) and a repeat range of 150-610 mm (6-24 inches). The automated processes of the AutoMounter eliminate the need for skilled operators and make it suitable for larger label producers running round-the-clock with multiple presses to ensure consistent plate mounting each and every time, according to JM Heaford. Overall control is maintained via a simple, multi-lingual graphic interface, and the system can store and recall over 10,000 jobs.

Label AutoMounter is part of a selection of scalable mounting options presented by JM Heaford for enhanced efficiency at Labelexpo Americas 2018.

It also showcases the FTS plate mounter, offering semi-automation, ease-of-use, repeatable accuracy and speed; and the entry-level EES plate mounter, proposed for start-ups and those looking for the next step up in mounting speed and precision.

Sally-Anne Heaford, managing director of JM Heaford, commented: ‘Maximum automation is of course the best choice for reducing human error and boosting productivity, but you don’t need to be running multiple narrow web presses to be able to gain tangible benefits from stepping up your plate mounting technology.

‘Our exhibits at Labelexpo Americas 2018 show that there are many incremental opportunities for improvement that can make a huge difference to ease-of-use, accuracy and repeatability. Each Heaford system has been designed with these aims in mind and all the models we are showing at Labelexpo Americas have become bestsellers in their class for this very reason.’
