Matica’s C430 is ideal for heavy duty and continuous production. It is an industrial grade system ready to emboss plates in any environment and can handle a huge variety of sizes, materials, shapes, and thicknesses.
The rugged C430 comes equipped with an integrated, manually adjustable automatic plate feeder that holds up to 350 plates (0.5 mm thickness). It is particularly suited for continuous medium to high volume production cycles. The system can easily accommodate various sizes and shapes of plates and can be efficiently used to emboss different identification plates within the same production facility.
The C430’s heavy-duty embossing mechanism includes a powerful high torque motor, high percussion embossing arm, hardened drum, and fonts for the toughest jobs. It can personalize plates of various materials and thicknesses, including steel, iron, aluminium, bronze – with outstanding results guaranteed.
Once embossed, plates can either be placed in an external collection box via a side eject mechanism or stacked in a First In First Out (FIFO) output stacker. The external tray is designed for those jobs where plate shape or side frequently changes.
It can be configured for either embossing or indenting using a wide choice of font styles, and plate dimensions can be manually adjusted based on application requirements, from a minimum of 50mm x 20mm to a maximum of 120mm x 90mm.
It has a X on X off protocol and has a generic Windows printer driver. Production can be easily managed by any Windows-based application. Other protocols are available for legacy machine replacements.
