Introducing the POISE™
|
|
|
Description
A powerful desk top security hot foiling machine utilising a control system
to secure documents by means of an impression mechanism which can
apply up to 10,000 kg pressure.
The machine has been developed with high security in mind, offering a
coded electronic access system and two levels of security for
daily use.
All customised processing materials such as dies and foils
are maintained
within the secure metal casing of the machine and can
only be accessed
by using the machines security access system. Further
security against
unauthorised use is the automatic shut down which is activated
after 10
minutes of the machine sitting idle. |
Purpose
The POISE™ machine is used to easily and quickly
validate,
authenticate and protect documents by means of applying
security
features onto the documents. Holograms can be applied
which are
difficult to copy or reproduce, DATAFOIL® which is
a clear foil based
protection can be applied over data allowing the data
to still be visible
and cannot be removed without leaving evidence of tampering.
SECURIGRAFIX® can be applied which is difficult to
photocopy or
reproduce and is used to identify and authenticate documents. |
Paper
Feed System
The POISE™ machine is designed with a front paper
feed system which
consists of a document being placed onto the paper tray
which is
located in the front of the machine. The tray can be locked
into place
once the position for foiling onto the document has been
set. This allows
for subsequent documents to be foiled in the same place
with out the
need to set up each document individually. Templates can
be made to
fit in to the paper tray to locate small documents and
credit cards.
A tractor feed device has been designed for the continuous
feed of
documents through the machine and is an optional extra.
A cut sheet A4
feed device has been designed for the continuous feed
of documents as
an optional extra. |
Foil
Unit
A foil tray is located in the top of the machine; this
houses the foils being
used for the security applications. The foils are held
in the front of the
tray under tension that is applied to the side of the
foil roll. The foil
follows a path through the machine which takes it between
the security
die and the document being processed, then back up to
the foil tray
which houses the computer controlled stepper motor which
pulls the foil
through with great accuracy. The waste foil is collected
behind the foil
tray on disposable foil cores for quick and efficient
removal under secure
conditions. Hologram registration is optional at extra
cost. An air
powered foil separation system is incorporated into the
design for
ultimate flexibility and reliable results with a complete
range of hot
stamping foils. A small compressor supplied with the machine
powers
the air separation system. |
Hologram
Registration System
The POISE™ machine houses a unique and robust impression
mechanism, which incorporates a removable die plate. The
security dies
are fixed to the die plate, which are customer specified
and positioned to
suit their own application and areas to be foiled on their
documents. The
POISE machine can be programmed to carry out multiple
stamps of the
same image on the same document as well as applying more
than one
feature at a time. The die plate is removable
from the right hand side of
the machine by means of a security door, the die plates
are
interchangeable therefore allowing for different jobs
or spare security
dies to be ready mounted for use in the machine. |
Impression
Unit
The Press houses a robust and unique impression mechanism
automatically compensating for differing thickness' of
documents e.g. A
certificate, plastic card and passport can be handled
without changes to
the impression mechanism. This incorporates a removable
die and
make ready plate. The dies are customer specified and
presented in
either portrait or landscape to suit their own application
and areas to be
foiled on their documents. The die is removable from the
front of the
machine after first removing the security guard, the dies
are
interchangeable therefore allowing for different jobs
or spare security
dies to be ready for use in the machine, providing quick
and efficient die
changes. |
