Rotoflex redesigns DSI

Rotoflex has redesigned its DSI die-cutting platform to be a smaller footprint machine which is faster and more responsive to today’s changing production requirements, in response to demand for more streamlined finishing workflows and increased productivity from its converter customers.

The redesigned DSI platform now includes servo drives, which are smaller than the legacy AC vector motors so has decreased the size of the power cabinet significantly and reduced the unit’s footprint. Rotoflex said this is a real benefit in facilities where floor space is at a premium.

The independently driven servo drives manage the unwind, die-cutting, matrix and rewind functions, and are controlled by the proprietary Rotoflex URC 2.0 control system.

The updated design of the Rotoflex DSI accommodates a variety of inspection systems and the die-cutting unit can be disengaged for specific jobs, meaning it may be run as a slitter rewinder or as a die-cutting unit, accommodating more applications and job types.

Further, the updated platform can perform slitting and die cutting at speeds up to 1,000ft/min (305m/min), a 30 percent increase over production speeds of legacy DSI models.
