RFID personalization at Mühlbauer booth

09.27.17

PL light is an entry-level RFID personalization system designed for low to medium volumes.

Live at Labelexpo, Mühlbauer is showcasing its RFID Personalization on the PL light machine along with the RFID converting line CL light.

With the Personalization Lines, Mühlbauer follows the increasing demand for RFID and NFC products that include special printed features, serialization printing and unique encoding. The PL light thereby constitutes an entry-level RFID personalization system that is designed for low to medium volumes. A throughput of up to 40,000 UPH can be achieved. The process includes UHF chip encoding as well as printing variable data for graphical personalization. Both, reel to reel as well as ticket to ticket usage is possible. With its modular design other processes can be integrated on request. Mühlbaue says its small footprint and the high print resolution printer make the PL light an ideal solution for printers.

The CL light features cost efficient design together with a high flexibility in output configurations: dry inlay, wet inlay, smart labels from reel to reel. All processes are in one modular system: antenna web handling, label lamination, die-cutting as well as output testing. A semi-rotatry cutting or full rotary cutting is possible. With an optimized change-over time between different products paired with lowest tooling costs, this converting system is perfectly suited for a production with smaller lot sizes and at the same time fast changing applications. The friendly user interface, intuitive handling of this converting machine and the low initial investment makes the CL light interesting for start-ups entering the RFID converting market.
