H.A.L. (High-speed Auto Loader)
Gandinnovations steps into the future of grand d format digital print production with the introduction of H.A.L. ‘High-speed Auto Loader’. HAL is a fully automated material handling robotic system specially designed to work in synchronization with all Jeti flatbed digital printers to achieve maximum production efficiency.

Operate two machines at once, work faster with more accuracy
Operate two flatbed machines, situated back to back, with H.A.L.'s configurable layout orientation designed to handle materials, load/unload the printer using new technology and software that surpasses conventional automation or manual solutions, the ultimate in productivity.

H.A.L.'s ‘magic eye’ – an intelligent camera station – evaluates the condition of material for damages and pre-determines the position to ensure perfect loading every time. H.A.L. also scrutinizes the job for contamination between the transfer head vacuum cups and material between pre-selected cycles.


The software comes with an option to monitor print jetting after pre-selected cycles are complete. H.A.L. also visually inspects the test pattern on the border to ensure minimal risk of producing scrap should print anomalies occur, as well as contamination between transfer head vacuum cups and sheets following completion of pre-selected cycles by visually inspecting the pick area. Once the job is complete H.A.L. unloads the print bed and places the finished job in an allocated area. Designed to run 24/7, around the clock, H.A.L. will boost production speeds for any Jeti Flatbed Printer.dustry.
