On-Target™ glue detection - what you need to know...

- On-Target will increase your efficiency and PROFITS.
- On-Target is standard on all Leary Glue Detection systems
Our patented On-Target™ intelligent detection and correction technology automatically keeps the glue line positioned exactly on-target at any speed up to 650 m/m. The system also checks over the entire length of the carton to ensure no adhesive has been positioned outside of the target area.
The system works by using a high-speed glue detection head fitted to the glue valve, the information from the glue detector if fed back to the processing unit where the detected glue line (actual) is compared to the programmed glue line (required). Where the glue line is not millimeter perfect the system will adapt the output signal to automatically correct the position of the glue.
Using this technology allows our customers to tighten their glue position tolerances tighter than ever before. Traditional glue detection systems have required a +/- tolerance of at least 4mm to protect against excessive ejections and machine stops. This would have a negative effect on efficiency, pattern control & product quality. All these effects act to diminish the value of detection systems.
At high machine speeds any standard glue application system will experience inaccuracies. Outside influences have a greater impact on application position. Viscosity, temperature and airflow around the machine are a few examples of forces beyond the control of the gluing system. These forces are constantly changing making it impossible to compensate for them with traditional gluing systems.
Our technology is patented and unique. It will compensate for any changeable influence whether it be from within the system or from outside. The glue pattern will always remain in the target area. Guaranteed. On-Target is a proven technology and has brought our customers great success

On-Target will guarantee your glue applications are accurate
On-Target glue detection guarantees glue is present ONLY in the programmed position. Any glue detected elsewhere on the carton will result in that carton being rejected.
On-Target will increase your gluing precision.
On-Target actively increases your gluing accuracy and precision by continuously monitoring the exact position of the glue and making fine valve adjustments to ensure the glue position remains On-Target. All other systems on the market will allow glue position to ‘slide’ out of position until such time it moves more than your programmed positional tolerances – at which point the product will be rejected.
On-Target is the ONLY glue detection system that detects glue volume.
On-Target is the ONLY system to detect for volume. The On-Target system is analogue, meaning it has the ability to gauge exactly the volume of applied adhesive across the full length of the glue line. The system will reject products that are either lacking in glue volume or have excessive glue applied. The tolerances of this function are fully programmable by the installation engineers or the operator. Other glue detection systems on the market WILL NOT detect excessive glue volumes at all!
On-Target automatically compensates for glue movement during the run & actively reduces carton ejections and waste.
On-Target automatically compensates for glue movement in real time. This technology is patented by Leary and remains totally unique in the market. The technology provides users with absolute gluing accuracy AND reduced waste (because the glue line never falls outside the programmed tolerance, as soon as it even thinks about shifting, the system reacts and corrects the glue automatically). This automatic compensation will increase your gluing performance in every case.
On-Target allows users to run at over 550 meters per minute.
On-Target allows users to run gluing systems at speeds above 550 meters per minute. Other glue detection systems will produce high waste figures at speeds above 300-400 meters per minute. Again, it is the automatic compensation technology that enables the system to achieve higher speeds. Read about a recent high-speed installation here.
On-Target is a Leary Patented Technology and not available elsewhere.
On-Target was developed and owned by W H Leary. It cannot be found anywhere else.
On-Target will increase your efficiency and PROFITS.
If you run at speeds less than 100% when jet-gluing, if you run at less than 100% because you need to hand check the gluing before packing, if you run less than 100% because the glue system cannot keep-up. On-Target is a technology you need. On-Target will make you money. On-Target is a must.
