Automatic mounting is fast but the greater advantage of automatic mounting is the accuracy and the repeatability, independent of the operator. This ensures that plates are mounted right first time and every time, eliminating remounts and it doesn’t rely on the skill of the operator.

It’s not all about speed and we have many customers with experienced operators who can mount 6 plates accurately in 4 minutes using our revolutionary FTS mounter.

However, when an experienced operator has an unplanned absence and a new person is using a mounter they are unfamiliar with the speed can drop  significantly due to their inexperience, with a possible reduction in accuracy too. The Automounter eliminates that risk.

The recent article in Labels & Labelling provides a detailed overview of Automatic mounting.
