Lighthouse CPM-100 vinyl printer




To produce most of the labels you can see on this site you need one of these.
Its a Lighthouse CPM-100 vinyl printer and cutter. It is very versatile and can print and cut just about any colour combination. On this model the width is restricted to 100mm but unlimited in length which in reality covers just about every label you could want to make for your Visual Maintenance application.
We used to get all are labels and signs made but with this is you see somewhere you think its useful you can have a suitable label made up in a matter of minutes and out on the equipment right away. It also makes changing settings a breeze as sometimes setting which you think are the best can, a year or so down the line, need to be tweaked after you improve or understand the process better.
We actually also use the vinyl label rolls to produce the shapes for our shadow boards.

Hydraulic valve descriptions



The valve stack has quite a complex arrangement with a lot going on despite its size. An explanation of the the valves and their functions is therefore posted beside them so during fault finding the problem can either be found or ruled out quicker. You still need the manuals for the full hydraulic diagrams but hopefully the visual diagram means people are at least looking at the right thing. Especially useful if someone wants to try to move something manually.
