Sharp® MAX-PRO 18 System

Cutting Edge Technology

• Advanced diagnostics monitor individual machine components, notifying technicians of any potential problems and allowing replacement parts to be ordered before a failure occurs
• Networkable HMI responds like a smartphone: faster and more intuitive, with easy to understand icons
• Passthrough size now adjustable via the HMI, with no tools required

More Versatile Operation

• Simplified bag threading system allows even novice operators to load new bags easily
• Sharp MAX-PRO 18 accommodates 18” wide bags with an 8” passthrough depth
• Save job settings in HMI for easy access
• Store label designs and even create labels directly on the HMI
• Compatible with both rolls and boxes of bags

More Efficient

• Aluminum jaw is lightweight and faster, decreasing cycle times
• Heavy duty drive fingers never need realignment
• Obstruction sensing jaw
• Constantly heated sealing mechanism offers a longer life than impulse mechanisms

Faster Printing

• Incorporating Zebra thermal printers permits direct printing onto the package for bar codes, graphics, and alphanumeric fonts
• Movable printing head sets to precise positions, eliminating queuing and reducing material cost and scrap
• Decrease thermal ribbon usage as much as 90% with reduced spacing between impressions, printing with alternative registrations, and adjusting impression placements to maximize ribbon usage

Access Data Anywhere

• HMI, printer, and PLC can be networked, so they can be accessed at any time from almost anywhere
• Use remote label printing, production reporting, and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) control

Easy Maintenance

• New design utilizes fewer components, decreasing downtime and increasing ease of maintenance
• Improved error reporting pinpoints problems for hassle free troubleshooting
• Off-the-shelf, nonproprietary parts can be purchased at most MRO stores
• Service hatches are positioned in the front to allow easier access
• The service manual is integrated into the HMI for convenient reference
• The color touchscreen display provides troubleshooting guidance with exploded view drawings, manufacturer and part numbers, and html help files with hyperlinks to explain any term
