Wipotec, a leading manufacturer and supplier of precision in-motion weighing, track and trace/anti-counterfeiting solutions and X-Ray scanning equipment, will showcase a three-in-one checkweigher/track and trace/temper-evidence module at Interphex NYC, Stand 2261, 25-27April.
The TQS-HC-A-TE offers the precision weight monitoring for which the company is known, plus added traceability and anti-counterfeiting elements increasingly required on pharmaceutical packaging lines.
Notably, the serialization-ready TQS-HC-A-TE is a solution for compliance with the final regulations of the Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA). Scheduled to take effect in late November 2023, this last track and trace hurdle requires interoperable, electronic tracing of products at the package level, including the incorporation of parent-child relationships to distinguish lots and other product groupings.
The TQS-HC-A-TE utilizes Wipotec’s precision Electro-Magnetic Force Restoration (EMFR) technology, which enables short settling times to deliver fast, accurate and repeatable weighing results. Thanks to the company’s ConfigureFast User Interface, the transport system, coding unit, camera, scales and labeler are all controlled with a single software application.
Wipotec’ s TQS-HC-A-TE can handle up to 300 products per minute at the lowest-possible reject rates, with an upgrade available that doubles throughput capacity to as many as 600/min. Its standard weighing range of up to 750 g also can be doubled, and options also are available that expand the base unit’s maximum product length (120 mm), height (150 mm) and depth (200 mm). The weigh cell’s performance while performing all functions mentioned above is barely hindered, with standard deviations as low as 200 mg for a blistered carton.
