Embedded DOVID Patch Applicator for Polycarbonate PC
RADUS SV-360 PC [up to 8 Heads]
The Radus SV-360 PC offers the efficient application of embedded DOVIDs (Holograms / Kinegrams) onto
polycarbonate sheets for passport data pages, driving licenses and ID documents in high volumes.
Due to its modular construction, the machine covers the complete range of polycarbonate layouts from e.g.
2x2 to 4x5 for passport data pages, up to common layouts for embedded DOVIDs on ID cards and DL cards
with 3x8 and 8x6 (ID-1). The system processes typical polycarbonate overlay films of common
manufacturers from 50 to 150 micron and enables an output at an average of 1250 sheets / h for 3x8 (24
images) and 1000 sheets / h for 8x6 (48 images). Counter-rotating product layouts for passport holderpages
can be easy processed in one production run by turned hologram feed direction of individual embossing
stations. The sophisticated foil separation technology in combination the electrostatic discharge devices
ensure a clean result and sharp hologram edges.
HP3 hot stamping hologram applicator
The well-proven hologram application head HP3 is especially suitable for applying embedded DOVID
patches on polycarbonate overlay sheets up to secure Level 3 in a stamping size of max. ø40 mm.
The heads work electronically / pneumatically and are monitored by the machine's process control.
The HP3 unit contains the hot stamping press with the replaceable stamping die and the associated fine
adjustment as well as the foil feed. In this way, the complete hologram application head can be moved
across the sheet direction of run in a quick adjustment for positioning. There is no complex conversion of the
stamping die or tracking of the foil; jobs can be set-up in shortest time.
Print mark recognition with unique „on the fly“ image positioning
A multistage tension control in the hologram hot foil track and an accurate guidance guarantee precise
hologram feed. To compensate the common hologram foil manufacturing image distance tolerances, the HP3
is equipped with diffraction mark detection directly on the active stamping die to ensure exact image
positioning. After mark detection „on the fly“, the foil with the holographic image is positioned using
electronics only (Resolution 0.01mm); there is no need for the time consuming manual fine adjustment of
the photocells for image positioning. The image position of the hot foil hologram under the stamping die can
be easily adjusted via the touch display - even during ongoing stamping operation.
Options
If necessary, further work stations can be retrofitted at any time. Here too, one or two HP3 hot stamping
hologram heads can be used. Then, with up to eight hologram application heads, it is also possible to
process sheet sizes for ID cards and DL cards with a layout of up to 8x6.
