Baumer hhs HALL 20 STAND B612
Baumer hhs is showing glue application and quality assurance solutions for the
carton, corrugated and print industry. In addition to the core business
of gluing, the German-based company has been for years developing industry-specific quality assurance
systems, namely glue monitoring, code and camera technology and product tracking systems.
The Xtend system unites these functions on a central operator touch screen.
Since the introduction of the first Xtend system, Baumer hhs has attached importance to
modular extension, which leaves room for future upgrade requirements. At the IPEX 2010,
Baumer hhs is showing what the latest generation of Xtend².
There are solutions available to detect skewed, double fed and unprinted products,
including the comparison of print, position and presence monitoring of labels, matrix code
reading and numerous other checks. Baumer hhs also offer pure quality assurance solutions
without gluing. All quality assurance functions are monitored by a central tracking and
ejection system that produces detailed error reporting in a form of data collection that
can either be viewed in real time from the operator touch screen or transferred to a local PC
for distribution via the company internal network. In addition the operator has a touch
screen with a unified menu to do the job set up for all the functions on the Xtend²,
significantly reducing both, set up time and the production of waste.
For the manufacturing of transparent packaging, Baumer hhs has revised its systems and
introduced the PUR bag melters. These hot melt glue application systems can also be
integrated completely in the Xtend series, which then can be operated centrally from
the large touch screen.
