PTS - Eidos

Performance. Technology. Safety.

The new PTS is the sixth generation of Print & Apply systems developed by EIDOS. It was born to meet the growing demands for flexibility, reliability and speed in label printing and application in modern production environments.

Derived from the winning concepts of TTO (Thermal Transfer Over-printer) technology for flexible packaging, but completely rethought for Print & Apply, PTS combines ergonomics, modularity and high performance in a single compact and intelligent machine.

More than a machine: it is a platform designed for the future.

Maximum Ease of Operation

The new PTS blends innovative technologies to offer the highest ease of use, maintenance, and configuration. Every component has been engineered to guarantee superior performance and maximum reliability.

QuickHead X-Changer

The modular structure accepts 4″, 5″ or 6″ (107/128/160 mm) print heads that are interchangeable in a few seconds, without replacing the entire system. Maximum operational flexibility.

Tool-free print head change in just a few seconds
Magnetic fastening with mechanical safety
Easy access for replacement, maintenance and cleaning
Compatibility with 4″, 5″ and 6″ heads
Dramatic reduction of setup times

Smart X-Motor

The servo motor fully replaces compressed air: less complexity, less maintenance. A revolution in Print & Apply technology that guarantees optimal performance and precise control.

Controlled movement of the print head
Optimal printing performance
Supports an advanced ribbon-saving system, among the most efficient on the market
Precise control of print head position
Complete elimination of dependency on compressed air

QuickTronic X-Changer

The plug & play electronics are integrated into the chassis but can be replaced independently. Hot-swap function allows interventions without stopping the production line.

Hot-swap function: replacement without halting the line
Modular, independently replaceable electronics
Broad communications capabilities: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, digital I/O, CAN Bus
No technological barrier: full customization
Integrated predictive maintenance

Smart Access

The PTS can be controlled remotely via a web browser from PC, mobile device, or via optional HMI display. Diagnosis, configuration and maintenance operations are simplified.

Remote control via web browser
7″ color capacitive PoE HMI with magnetic mounting
PC with browser as alternative interface
Multi-language: IT, EN, DE, ES, FR, CS, HU, KO, NL, PL, RU, ZH, AR
Intuitive icons for parameters and function selection

Smart & Elegant Design

Thanks to its optimized design and modular chassis, PTS is more compact than any comparable machine: it is only 18 mm wider than the 4-inch Printess version, but 37 mm narrower than the 6-inch version.

Ultra-compact modular chassis
Dimensions optimized for every production line
Compatible with PRINTESS 4 and PRINTESS 6
Front cover with adjustable friction hinges
Transparent rear cover for complete visibility

Superior Printing Performance

An autonomous printing unit with optional feeder and HMI. Perfect integration into existing packaging machines and lines. Foil rolls up to 1,200 m for extended printing autonomy.

Foil rolls up to 1,200 m for extended autonomy
Labels up to 250 mm in diameter
Expandable to 350 mm with high-capacity module
Does not require compressed air: fully electric
Print head pressure auto-detected via software calibration

Maximum Printing Speed

The maximum achievable printing speed depends on the label material, the ribbon in use, and the width of the print head.

Important: Performance is guaranteed only when using EIDOS consumables.

Label Material	TPH 4″ (107 mm) Max (mm/s)	TPH 5″ (128 mm) Max	TPH 6″ (160 mm) Max
Vellum Paper	500	450	400
Coated Paper	600	550	500
White & Transparent Plastic (PP, PE, PET)	1000	850	700

Compatible Applicators

Complete list of applicators supported by the PTS. Applicators may require compressed air supply. Air consumption at 6 bar: peak 40 l/min, average consumption 5–6 liters/cycle.
