Atlas Vac Machine tray sealer optional equipment choices now include long sought instrumentation for a parameter only previously available through air pressure readings and press actuator performance curve calculations. Measuring sealing dwell time and platen surface temperatures are straightforward. But now, the Atlas Vac Machine Direct Force Sensing System (patent pending) provides a reading of the force (lbs.-force) exerted by the tray sealer press against the seal tooling on every stroke. Through reading values, on the operator screen, of the lbs-f exerted across the tray sealing tool face, packaging engineers can more closely monitor this critical design variable.
