Implementation
of a Rockwell Automation control system leads the updates to the product line,
with the enhanced control system featuring a menu-driven, full-color, touch
screen operator interface terminal, resulting in reduced operator training
requirements.
The
company claims 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.
Jeff Feltz, director of product management at Mark Andy says, "We are
excited to introduce this enhanced control system to our Mark Andy VSR product
line. 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 also includes a variety
of options to increase efficiency for converters. Differential coreholders and
pneumatic nip rolls can be integrated in order to allow for even more precise
web tension control.
A 100 per
cent vision inspection system enables the operator to more efficiently inspect
the web for faulty labels by queuing multiple errors, resulting says the
company in the highest quality of finished product.
Rounding
out the key options available on the Mark Andy 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.
