Validated memory / separator flap unit
Drop-in upgrade • Non-servo alternative • Real-time validation

Validated memory / separator flap unit

Hall timing validation OEM-adoptable architecture Easy-clean serviceability CF1220 / CVC1220 Servo flap alternative

A precision memory flap unit with real-time Hall-sensor position and timing verification. Designed to deliver deterministic pre-count capture & release by validating actual flap movement — without the mass, complexity, or service overhead of servo-driven assemblies. Includes easy-clean cylinder head nuts and precision-fit buffers to extend cylinder life and preserve timing consistency over time.

Dust-Extreme detection unit upgrade for CF1220 / CVC1220
High dynamic range electronics • OEM-compatible outputs • Retrofit-ready

Dust-Extreme detection unit upgrade kit

CF1220 / CVC1220 Extended dynamic range Reduced cleaning intervals CF1220VX software ID OEM protocol compatible

A high-stability optical detection upgrade engineered for heavily dust-producing products. Designed with increased dynamic range to maintain reliable signal margin under optical attenuation — resulting in fewer cleaning interruptions and more stable long-term performance.

Direct mechanical replacement for OEM detection boards. Outputs, serial protocol, channel inserts, and HMI behaviour remain fully compatible.

M2MB Session Master multi-master Modbus RTU interface module
Multi-master Modbus RTU • Session-based routing • High-speed backbone

M2MB Session Master

True multi-master Modbus RTU Up to 500 kbit/s backbone Flexible baudrates Twisted pair Deterministic arbitration

The M2MB Session Master connects a standard Modbus RTU master (PLC, HMI, SCADA system, service laptop, or data logger) to the M2MB high-speed backbone.

Adds a lightweight session header to standard Modbus RTU traffic, allowing multiple independent RTU masters to share the same communication bus without collisions or packet loss.

M2MB Session Slave Gateway for standard Modbus RTU networks
Session-aware routing • Shared RTU networks • Multi-master gateway

M2MB Session Slave / Gateway

Session routing Shared slave networks Legacy RTU compatible Flexible baudrates Industrial twisted pair

The M2MB Session Slave / Gateway connects the M2MB backbone to standard Modbus RTU slave devices or complete RTU slave networks.

The gateway remembers which master initiated each request and automatically routes replies back to the correct originating session node, enabling seamless true multi-master communication over shared wiring infrastructure.

Infrared sensor bar system for IMA Swiftpack PSR35 and PSR25 machines
Precision optical platform • PSR35 / PSR25 replacement • Expandable architecture

Swiftpack-SV2 infrared sensor bar system (PSR35 / PSR25)

PSR35 (35 mm pitch) PSR25 (27 mm pitch) 8 → 12 channel upgrade Self-calibrating LED drive Optional QA terminal

A precision-aligned infrared detection platform designed to replace OEM PSR35 and PSR25 sensor assemblies in IMA Swiftpack machines. Fixed-pitch emitter and detector boards eliminate individual sensor alignment errors while enabling clean 8 to 12 channel expansion.

Features self-calibrating LED drive, relative channel health monitoring, standalone operation, and optional RS-232 Modbus QA terminal for live diagnostics.

CF1220-LTE control system with XIAC interface board, piggy-back PLC and HMI
Architecture evolution • Piggy-back PLC • Minimal-invasive retrofit

CF1220-LTE control system

CF1220 / TQ1220 / CVC1220 Piggy-back PLC Original wiring retained 10–15% output increase Half-day installation

A structured control system retrofit built around the XIAC interface board with piggy-back PLC and modern HMI. Designed to modernise control, improve throughput, and extend machine life — without replacing the original electronics or cabling.

Includes advanced performance features such as Staged Memory Flaps, Automatic Feed Control (AFC), Fast Bottle Reject, and optional Speed Nozzles.

Delay-Line label position timer installed on labelling machine
Label positioning • Sensor signal replay • PLC-independent timing

Delay-Line label position timer

Label timing correction Delayed pass-through Edge-accurate PLC retrofit tool

A hardware delay-line module developed for labelling machines where accurate label placement cannot be achieved reliably with standard PLC ON-delay timers. Instead of generating a single delayed output, the Delay-Line replays the complete sensor signal after a precisely adjustable time offset — preserving pulse width, spacing, and event order.

Field-proven on high-speed labelling systems (including Germark machines) as a fast, non-intrusive fix for label position errors — without mechanical changes or PLC reprogramming.
