ipcas Centronics to USB Printing Converters are currently also being used by companies in modern printing solutions for ultrasonic welding machines.

Manufacturers using ultrasonic welding machines (e.g. for plastic bag sealing in the packaging industries) often take recourse to the continuous systematic logging of MDA (machine data acquisition) data to ascertain optimized threshold values in research and development. Reliable logging is also required to compile machine parameter reports as proof of quality for customers (TQM, claim management).

Approx. 20,000 lines on paper (up to 1,000 Din A4 standard pages) often used to be printed to log 8-10 parameters (e.g. temperature, pressure, etc.) for a single procedure. Yet this log data is now recorded electronically and stored on USB Stick and eventually on a PC/sever in the companies just mentioned.

In times of replacing legacy log printers with USB printers and adopting online solutions, companies are finding the ipcas printing solution with the Centronics to USB Printing Converter increasingly attractive for many reasons:

• Optimized paper consumption (= zero for online version)
• Greater logging reliability (no data loss)
• Wide printer selection (long list, few restrictions)
• No refitting required (ready to run)
• Easy to configure (ready presetting included on USB Stick)

The Centronics to USB Printing Converters also leaves customers with a wide range of options, for example to use a USB printer, network printer, USB Stick, Ethernet (see figure above).
