The ICE Vector is designed as a robust , fully enclosed system , thanks to a pneumatic guard protecting the print engine from dust and environmental conditions .
times faster than rival print engines and thanks to Intelligent Motion™ technology , which enables precise automatic
control of the labels and ribbon feed , this translates to the removal of 80 % of wear parts compared to traditional pallet labelers . The result is an incredibly low maintenance solution with the lowest cost of ownership and gives greater reliability of equipment , without traditional service intervals .
With warehouses becoming more sophisticated , system communications are having to follow suit . The ICE Vector is simple to integrate with a WMS system in an extensive range of onboard dataprotocols , including both Zebra and SATO . The machine features two CLARiTY™ touchscreen interfaces . Label and ribbon changes can be executed efficiently thanks to the internal interface and the external interface gives full access to machine settings and performance information of the ICE Vector ’ s interface with the line PLC . Additionally , the screen can also be viewed remotely using a networked PC and standard web browser . As well as helping to mitigate coding errors and meeting retail and regulatory traceability requirements , this automated data management of SSCC codes approach can enhance Overall Equipment Effectiveness ( OEE ).
The Government ’ s recently announced capital allowance incentive for investments in new machinery and plant is providing further impetus for automation . Between now and March 2023 , British manufacturers investing in qualifying plant and machinery assets will be able to benefit from 130 % corporate tax relief ( usually 18 %) 1 allowing the financial case to stack up .
With the introduction of the ICE Vector , Clearmark now has a coding solution for all three packaging types : primary , secondary and tertiary . Primary coding applications are served by the ICE Zodiac Hawk family and the ICE Viper Plus , while the ICE Viper Plus , ICE Vulcan , ICE Torus and Zebra systems address secondary coding .
“ We found that customers wanted to buy their pallet labeller from the same company that supplied their case labeller and thermal transfer overprinter – mainly for commonality of parts and operation familiarity . It has long been our goal to offer coding solutions for all of these applications , but we had to be sure we could match the performance that Clearmark is known for in primary and secondary coding applications . With the ICE Vector , we believe we have achieved exactly that ,” explains Chris .

With a label arm reach of 650mm out of the enclosure via a sturdy 2 axis cartesian guided motion control system , label placement is accurate and repeatable on a wide range of pallet configurations .
