MARK ANDY UPDATES ITS LINE OF SLITTER/REWINDERS
Wednesday 07. May 2008 - Mark Andy has updated VSR line of slitter rewinders. Upgrades to the control system, as well as enhancements to available options on the equipment will result in improved productivity and flexibility for converters.
Implementation of a powerful Rockwell Automation control system leads the updates to the product line. This enhanced control system features a menu-driven, full-colour, touch screen operator interface terminal, resulting in reduced operator training requirements. Servo mode main drive and rewind tension inside the control system make perfect web
control attainable. An additional feature of the updated control system includes remote diagnostics, allowing Mark Andy service and support to instantly diagnose and service the equipment, as well as remotely install any applicable upgrades required by the system.
“We are excited to introduce this enhanced control system to our VSR product line,” said Jeff Feltz, Director of Product Management, At Mark Andy. “The updates we are offering will result in higher productivity for our converters, which is what we strive to provide.”
In addition to the control system upgrade, the VSR line includes a variety of options to increase efficiency for converters. Differential core holders and pneumatic nip rolls can be integrated in order to allow for even more precise web tension control. A 100% vision inspection system enables the operator to inspect the web more efficiently for faulty labels by queuing multiple errors, resulting in the highest quality of finished product. Rounding out the key options available on the VSR100 and VSR300 are a web advance arm to simplify preparation of the rewind for roll changeovers, a dual rewind, and an expanded 40″ capacity unwind.
