Pouch Printing Using Thermal Inkjet Printer

The Technology Business Ltd has delivered a fully automated pouch, bag, leaflet and flat‑sheet printing system designed for modern Industry 4.0 production lines. The solution integrates 1–4 CIJ print heads (with scalable custom configurations) and a high‑stability vacuum conveyor to ensure accurate, consistent print quality across a wide range of materials.

Flexible product feeding and stacking options support diverse manufacturing workflows, while optional flattening rollers maintain perfect print alignment on pouches and other bulky substrates. Additional Industry 4.0‑ready modules — including product counting, vision inspection, and custom automation features— allow the system to be tailored to specific customer requirements

Filling, Capping and Inspection Line

TTB supplied a high‑performance filling and capping line for the Life Science industry, engineered with a durable SS304 stainless‑steel frame, polycarbonate guarding and precision‑machined nylon components. The system is controlled via a Siemens safety PLC, ensuring full compliance with Life Science safety and validation standards.

A fully integrated vision inspection system verifies correct cap application by monitoring cap position, number of turns and applied torque from the capping assembly. Products that pass inspection move to a wraparound labelling station, where a Cognex vision camera confirms accurate label placement before release to downstream processes.

This automated solution improves quality control, reduces manual handling and supports Industry 4.0‑ready traceability across critical Life Science packaging operations.

Fibre Laser Marking of Vinyl Flooring

Filling, Pre-capping, Torque Tightening, Check and Labelling

This machine automatically feeds, fills, caps, and labels bottles with quality checks for the torque applied to the caps, the presence of a cap, and the quality of the printed label. It also includes functionality for a quality check procedure for the filling volume to be carried out during automatic operation.

S-Conveyor CIJ Box Printing, Inspection and Rejection System

CO2 Laser Marking for Shrink Film

TTB engineered a custom CO₂ laser marking enclosure built around the Videojet Gemini 30W IP54 SHC100c straight laser, providing a safe, fully integrated marking solution for industrial production lines. The laser is housed in a light‑tight, safety‑interlocked enclosure featuring a single access door secured with a dual‑channel fork safety switch to meet stringent machine‑safety requirements.

The laser is mounted on an adjustable bracket, offering approximately 16 mm horizontal and 30 mm vertical positioning to ensure precise alignment during operation. The system includes a dedicated entry port for customer‑supplied extraction hardware, supporting clean and compliant laser marking.

Safety outputs from the dual‑door switch (2× NC contacts) are delivered via a 5‑metre ferrule‑terminated cable for straightforward integration with existing control systems. The enclosure frame is constructed from anodised aluminium and polycarbonate, with final design adjustments made to suit the customer’s machine layout and application needs.

CO2 Laser Marking on a rotary labelling machine

The system is based around one of Videojet’s CO2 Gemini straight shooting lasers.

The Laser will be enclosed in a light-tight assembly, utilising a combination of Krones and TTB’s guarding. The up/down door assembly interlock of the Krones’ safety circuit will ensure that the system is disabled when the safety circuit is broken.

The new marking laser assembly will be fixed to the existing framework. There will be the option for adjustment of the laser position, based on a mechanism provided by Videojet.

The new system will have a suitable entry port on the machine, with the extraction hardware provided by the customer.

Fibre Laser for High value PCBs

The customer required a laser system capable of marking products. The maximum marking area is 125X125mm, with a bed size of 150X150mm. The system needed to be capable of loading multiple parts (on a jig of the customer’s making) into the machine. 

Pharmaceutical Label Application System With Reject

The requirement of the system is to inspect the printed label prior to application onto the product via a vision system. The system will print the labels using a TT or DT printer which will be mounted in line with the label applicator, the camera system will be mounted past the printer and inspect the required customer data using a combination of different tools. Any labels that fail inspection will still be applied to the product, but will be discarded further down the conveyor.

Side printing, Inspection and rejection system

The customer required a system that could print fine details on to their Pharma product boxes. The system would then inspect the quality of the label, and a rejection system would safely reject the boxes if the inspection failed. The initial concept was designed using Ansys Spaceclaim and the actual product is shown below.

Three Head CIJ Print System

Working with Videojet Technologies, TTB developed a system to sit over the customer’s production line.The CIJ printers mark kegs on to top dome and adjacent sides. The data is extracted from the producer’s SCADA system, processed and sent to each of the printers. A vision system checks the printed data and if any test fails, the system identifies the issue to the operator. The system is based on a Siemens PLC platform and the plant was adapted to integrate the new functionality.

Roll Bundling Machine

One of our roll bundler machines. Servo control in the X, Y and Z axis position the vacuum heads. The rolls come straight from the cutter and roll down a table where they are aligned ready for picking. The tube quantities are picked, dependent on the layer configuration and which layer is being formed. Two off-load bays allow the operator to access a completed stack, whilst the machine builds the next stack. Full mechanical and electrical safety interlocking ensures the operator is never exposed to danger.
