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.

Cleaning station


This cleaning station shadow board is mounted inside the machine cell and means that on machine stoppages small routine cleaning tasks can be carried out without having to go and find cleaning materials. Normally the operators would have spent 10 minutes of more gather up the required material prior to small visual cleaning jobs taking place.
All cleaning jobs are broken up into small 5 - 10 minute chunks that can be slotted in around natural stoppages throughout the week and followed on a TPM T Card board.
