Build-in function of masking and cutting with missing marks
The system inspects the actual length by marks printed on packaging material. Thus, mark plays
an important role to the system. To make sure the mark can be read by the system is a vital task.
In order to avoid the spot interference between marks, ASDA-A2 is embedded with masking
function which can setup the start position of reading the mark. Besides, when the mark is poor
printing, the system is still able to trim according to the last cutting length and makes the
correction when the mark appears again.

Function of initial position adjusting
When changing the packaging film, the system needs to adjust the position of cutter and mark.
Synchronous capture axis function of ASDA-A2 can apply the synchronous error created
manually to complete the function of position adjusting. Enter the pulse number into P5-79 and
memorize the total correction amount in P5-87. After re-power on, the system will trim the
packaging film according to the setup offset position before the previous power-off.
