The system comprises 28” diameter unwind and de-lamination and re-lamination unit with a liner compensation system capable of accepting RFID, EAS and similar inlays. The lamination unit with carrier rewind configured for unwinding of RFID tags and rewinding of the static liner can also be used as a standard lamination module.

A second lamination unit with carrier rewind provides for over lamination of the web. Die cutting is provided through a single rotary die base that includes matrix stripping and two die positions. The second die position can be supplied to provide for sheet delivery.

The line is completed by an Omega rewind module with nip roller drive, scissor slitting, cross web adjustment and independently driven, pneumatic rewind mandrel that includes labels in, labels out selection and web advance arm for accurate placement of rewind cores.

Comments John Gallagher, A B Graphic International Ltd, Inc. “The use of RFID and EAS technology is growing. The Omega 1600 RFID/EAS Converter takes rolls of pre-printed self-adhesive labels and integrates almost any type of electronic inlay in a sandwich between the label substrate and its backing paper. It is then die cut and rewound to finished rolls or individual pieces”.
