Rotoflex adds HSI

Features of the HSI include 330mm and 440mm web widths, a 1,000ft/min running speed, extra-large inspection table, ergonomic 37in (940mm) high editing area, easily accessible slitting module, a straightforward web path and conveniently located finished roll rewind location. With end-to-end servo control design, the HSI also features the Rotoflex URC 2.0 proprietary control system with simple menus and an intuitive interface, giving operators the ability to monitor all functions from a single screen. Based on the design of Rotoflex’s VSI series, HSI features an operator-friendly horizontal configuration.

The small footprint HSI is configurable for a variety of vision inspection systems and offers a range of options, such as the new biometric (fingerprint) authentication for operator access and the Rotoflex exclusive report management system (RMS). With RMS, real-time production data is collected from multiple finishing machines to a single interface, which can be accessed remotely via computer or handheld device. RMS generates a variety of detailed, customizable reports on performance variables such as run time, defects, production volume and scrap generation, as well as compares outputs of multiple machines.

Manohar Dhugga, Rotoflex director of engineering and service, said: ‘Designed with the proven robust construction of our successful VSI series, the HSI is an advantageous solution for converters preferring a horizontal slitting inspection configuration in their off-line finishing machines. The HSI is one of many new business responsive technologies to be unveiled in the next few months, supporting our commitment to deliver high quality, innovative solutions that drive customer profitability.’
